Hello everyone... I had VSG on 8/11/17. I had a revision from a lapband (shhh no one knows) that slipped and stopped working... so 10 years later i went back into surgery to get VSG... i was so scared when i got home and i was able to drink so much liquid, over 100 oz per day. Second week i felt head hunger i think... today has been bad... i fell very physically hungry. at noon i ate 1/2 a salmon and spicy tuna hand roll, should have weighted to see how many oz but i didn't and at 3 i had 3 oz of salmon and mashed potatoes... but i still feel hungry. I'm scare of failing again... i'm scare of stretching my sleeve after going through the pain and stigma. Anyways to all of you who are struggling please know that you are not alone... we all question and second guess ourselves based on others experiences... i'm trying to stay on track and just do what feel right for me.

I haven't been able to drink as much as you but I still haven't had any pain from eating or drinking. Of course, I am only about 16 days out so maybe I just haven't eaten anything that would cause pain. Did you have any physical reaction to the hand roll? I have heard that rice can be painful.

I feel like some of what I am experiencing as hunger is acid reflux but I don't know!.

I am loosing weight though and a pretty good rate so what I am trying to do is keep my eye on the prize. I hope that you day got better. :)

      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!
