Eating the same in small portions



Recommended Posts

I am almost 6 months out. I am down about 60 lbs and I am 13 lbs from my surgeons GW and a " normal" BMI. I am curious to know what other people who are as far out as me ( or further) are eating. I have not been cutting anything out and letting myself even have cake sometimes in really small portions bc I can only take like 1 bite. I have always been an extreme dieter and decided to approach this as a forever thing. I will eat healthy most of the time but nothing will be off limits. The problem is as time goes on I can eat more. I am scared now bc I am able to eat much more than I was in the beginning. I also know the " slider " foods that I can eat when I am really hungry. How are you guys coping with this ? I don't want to fall back into old habits.

I am 17 months post-op, and still follow a Keto way of eating. I have target macros and I keep everything in that range every day (less than 2000 calories, less than 25g of carbs, around 150g of protein). I don't eat sugar, Pasta, bread, or rice and I don't drink soda (or really anything carbonated). I have eaten like this throughout my journey, and it is just what I do now. I have made food fuel, and I eat to live only. It has made my life a lot better.

I can eat a little bit more at a time now (but I still don't exceed 3oz of dense Protein at one sitting), but since I control what I consume so carefully, it hasn't made a difference.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
