I am 2 months out and I can not eat hardly anything! I have not yet experienced hunger so I have to make myself try to eat something. When I think about eating I just want to gag and even my liquids are sometime to much for my tummy to handle. I can get in just enough Water and gatorade to keep from getting dehydrated. Some days I can manage to get in 2 tbls of food all day so basically I feel like I'm gonna waste away. I've lost 60 lbs so far, which is way too fast I think, and I'm not even hungry. I feel pretty much like crap all the time and I know its because of the lack of nutrition. I can't even do the Protein Drinks. If anybody is having or has had anything similar to this I would like to hear about how you are handling it. Thanks.

Have you discussed this with your nutritionist or surgeon? It is critical that you address this right away as the lack of Protein alone can be devastating to your body. At 8 weeks out, based upon my plan, you would be transitioning to 3 oz of food per meal. Obviously you're not anywhere near that.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Do you see your nutritionist? I am 5 weeks out and am in a very similar spot. I was just told if I don't turn it around in 3 weeks they willl put a feeding tube in. I can't do the shakes but she did give me some ideas - I have the ok for Protein bars, Protein Jello (apparently at GNC), she told me I can nibble all day long on Protein Bar, cheese, yogurt, Peanut Butter and continue to drink if I need to. I know it's all against the rules but she told me I need to be doing anything I can.

      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.

      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!
