Coming up to 1 yr post op



Recommended Posts

11 months months out & I've lost over 100 lbs. Throughout the time I've noticed I can sometimes eat more than usual & by that I don't mean over eating. It simply takes more to get me full than other times. This varies from day to day & I don't understand why... One day I can eat a cup of veggie Soup, the next I can barely get a cup down. I'm not complaining just bad for when I want to measure all my meals. I've heard several ppl mention this after weight loss surgery but I don't know if they all have a day to day, & even within the same day, reaction. What causes this? Is this normal? Who has this same concern besides me?

I'm a little over 3 years post-op, and have the same experience. Mornings, seems like I can eat more, afternoons/evenings, less. Some days I can hardly eat anything.

Certain foods make a difference. salad, fruits, veggies, yogurt, etc...I can eat more of.

meats and other firmer foods, less

Yeah... chicken tenderloin are generally the same (1-2) but fish varies. I bake nearly all the meats I consume... 4oz fish fillets I used to be able to eat the whole thing but now if I'm really starving I get less down. I've noticed the hungrier I get the less I eat. Soup is crazy to me cuz it's never consistent, whether its just both or veggie or meat inside, doesn't matter.

My nut says that Soup should be drained and eat the solids 1/2 hr apart from the liquid

Yesterday I drunk a shake only because I had to get my Protein in but wasn't hungry at all... The night before I was starving & I ate chicken tenderloin & broccoli. It's not so much as irritating as it is trying to understand what is going on...

      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!!
