You most likely will be hungry for the first few days...but don't cave in. I was allowed 2 sugar free popsicles a day. They were heaven!

It's a little thing in the grand scheme of your journey. Best of luck!

the worst thing for me was my head. my thoughts and and obsession about food made things worse. find something to do when you start to think about food. if you are use to eating and watching tv get outside and go for a walk. go to the mall and window shop. look at clothes you want to fit into and imagine yourself in them. go visit family or friends. just do something! and soon thinking of food won't be a problem and you'll be okay with your shakes. and if your religious or believe in a higher power it never hurts to pray for a little bit of help.

It's hard but try to focus on the big picture. This is just a temporary and short place on your journey, soon it'll just be a memory and you'll be well on your way.

Definitely get some decent Protein Shakes, though. They will help with the hunger.

Best wishes to you, you can do this :)

      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.

        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!
