Don't Know If I Am Hungry Or Not....



Recommended Posts

Had my iband surgery today. Got @3:00 +/- and I nurse about 1/4 c of Water. About 8:30 tonight had half of an orange Popsicle. I have a little headache, really just groggy after pain meds.

Feeling empty and want something but not sure if I should. I don't really feel hungry, just empty.

Whoa! I appears I am unable to write while on pain meds. Got HOME @ about 3pm and NURSED water... I'm sorry. LOL.

I had my surgery Monday and I wasn't too hungry at all until today. I was very bloated so I guess thats why. I know what you mean by the "empty" feeling. I didn't really feel like eating for the first two days but woke up extremely hungry and ready to eat today. Congrats on being banded and I wish you lots of luck!

So... decided I needed something. Had 1/4 cup of chicken noodle Soup without and noodles, just broth. And was satisfied. Then had my meds, 1 tsp pain med, and 2 tsp of antibiotics. Those three teaspoons put me over the top. Now miserable

I was banded today too- we are twins!!!- and my doc told me 1-2 oz per hour for the first 24 hours then increase as tolerated to 4-6 ounces per hour. This has helped me I think. Not a speck of nausea yet

broth did make me especially burpy tonight tho... I know what you mean about the empty feeling. I'm hoping I just get used to it?

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
