I'm feeling better, no gas pain just pain at my port site. I'm starving! Anyone else start thin creamed Soups at this stage?

I was on anything you can drink through a straw the first week of surgery.

I am on day 5- anesthesia kicked the crap out of me. I have eaten sugar free applesauce, sugar free vanilla pudding, light and fit Greek yogurt, and chicken broth. Haven't tolerated anything to finish yet and the list above is basically what I've attempted with partial success since surgery. Burping constantly which makes me feel better. Tired, cold, and wondering if this is all normal. If u can tolerate a cream Soup then do it! NOTHING tastes good to me.

I had some cream of chicken Soup today. It took me the whole day to finish one small can, but I'm going to bed satisfied! Tomorrow I will try and add in something else.

OMG - Me too! My surgery was Jan 3rd, and my Dr gave me 4cc's during surgery. How can I possibly be more hungry with 4cc's of Fluid in my band? I swear it's having the opposite effect! I'm drinking the same amount of Protein Shakes I did for pre-op, but now I'm STARVING. Pre-op I had no problem, wasn't feeling hungry at all. Now, since my pain has gone down some, I get to that point where my stomach is screaming at me that I should have eaten hours ago, even though it's only been a few hours since my last shake! Cramping and growling and half-nauseated... I'm so frustrated!

I'm not sure how much I was filled with, but when I was only on liquids, I was starving! I am doing better now with some thicker liquids and trying to get more Protein in.

I am sure I'm getting enough Protein, since I'm doing the same shakes I did before. I had a squeezable applesauce a few minutes ago, and that seems to have settled my stomach. Not sure why the shakes that were so great before the band aren't working now that I have it, but I think you're right Sam - something about that tiny bit of texture really makes a difference!

      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!
