Some advice needed..



Recommended Posts

I am now at 10.5 mths and although for me things have improved almost 100% (had issues for the first 5 mths) I still feel my journey is not what I was expecting. When did people realise they could eat more??? I still have days where I want to eat but end up eating like a bird!!! I still don't feel I eat like a 'normal' person - never feel satisfied....

Does one get to the stage where they can eat and not feel uncomfortable, some days even eating 2 pieces of sliced turkey and a cheese stick is enough.

How long does it take for you to notice that your stomach has relaxed??

Thanks to all for their advice...

Ps Reflux - I never get heartburn or indigestion but the lump in my throat but seems to settle when I eat, anyone else find this???

Everyone has a different experience. By not feeling satisfied, do you mean you are still actually hungry, or that the food doesn't give you head pleasure? or what? Some have acid that makes them feel hungry...what were your problem for the first 5 months? Perhaps your stomach is very small... have you lost too much weight? If you are below goal, then its time to get to the doctors for a checkup... if you are still in the losing has, I would feel less discouraged and just keep going...many at 10 months feel more hunger and have a harder time losing after that. Because you are under a year I am going to move your thread to General, but when you are out 12 months or further, please come back here to the Vetrens forum. Veteran can still see and respond your site on the general forum. Best of luck!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
