Almost 3 weeks post op,I had my first fill/adjustment yesterday and today i have not eaten anything because I have not felt hungry. I have been drinking Water and had 1 coffee. dinner time has just past and still not hungry. Anyone else had this?

yes, i am guessing because you are still (swollen from surgery and now your fill) but that being said, you must keep sipping your liquids (and get as much Protein in as you can as that is your fuel). i am from a place where i eat when i am hungry. i am not on a diet or a set schedule...i just eat (better things). congrats on your surgery and that first fill :)

I had the same issues with some of my fills. My doctor told me to just do liquids for at least 24 hours, when I got my 4th fill and they put in 2 cc they told me to do liquids for 48 hours. I just sipped Water and sipped Protein shakes for that time and that was enough to keep me satisfied.

I was told that sometimes after a fill you swell a bit and that causes some extra restriction that will go away after a few days. Just make sure you are getting liquids in the worst thing to do is dehydrate yourself- trust me- been there done that and you think you will die!

I am told after evry fill.....stay to liquids for 24 hrs after the fill.....and I dont think Im hungry during that time.....

Im not sure if its just I know I cant eat or if its cuz Im not hungry...

I will have to watch and see after next fill.....but Im in the green so im hoping that wont be for a while....good luck and congrats !

Thanks for the input guys, it has made me feel better hearing your experiences. Carolinagirl I am going to stick to the same theory, no hunger no food. Good luck all with your journey guys.

      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!
