OK so my last weight management class was on the 30th March and I weighed around 160kg. 11th April I had my pre op assessment and was halfway through my liver diet and weighed 155.4kg.

Got my staples out today and jumped on the scales for the first time and I am down to 147.5kg.

I'm very happy and shocked at the weight loss but since my trigger to know and stop eating is hiccups I must be doing something right.

Question though (and I know everyone is different) but I'm only probably getting in about 15g of Protein a day due to food intake and I'm fine with liquids and I drink loads of milk - do I need to try and up it at this stage?

I can do a shake at 20g protein during day so that should help tomorrow.

Many thanks!

I would try. Consult your nutritionist if you're unsure how much Protein you should be getting. Good luck!

Worked out I drink about 800ml of milk a day so just shy of 30g Protein in milk alone. Add a protein yoghurt so that's another 20g and 15-20g for meals is 60-70g protein so not too shabby.

Not on solids yet so will bulk up on a shake a day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
