Almost 3 Weeks Out, Things Aren't Great.



Recommended Posts

I'm almost three weeks out and I am still not hungry. At all. At first I was happy about that, but now I'm miserable. I hate having to force myself to eat and drink. If I wanted to I could probably go days without eating or drinking anything with no problem, but I know that's not good so obviously I force myself to stay hydrated and fed. It's just annoying and it's starting to piss me off. Anyone else going through this?

You should be having a better time shortly. I remember wondering when I went to my 2 week post op visit and they were saying that I would work up to 1500 calories I thought no way. Keep up on your fluids and keep up on your Protein and keep up on your Vitamins. If you fall a little short on protein don't sweat it. It does get easier, I promise.

I'm just over 3 weeks out and Popsicles are the easiest and best thing for me haha Fluid but no Protein.

So I use them as reward, get my Protein in in, get a Popsicle..

Nut said during the week she wanted me giving up shakes and just having food but since 3 bites is still my limit, there's no way, she said 2 shakes 1 meal but have food as Snacks to get my levels up.

It is nauseating to eat when u don't want to.

I'm eight weeks out and I have no appetite. I have alarms set on my phone to tell me when it's time to eat. I had heard some people never get there appetite back.

I'm 11 days out and I'm starting to feel hungry again. I can't eat much in one sitting, but I do get hungry. Is this abnormal?

I get hungry too so I don't think it's abnormal. The good thing is that 3oz and I'm full.

I'm 5 weeks out and still am not getting hungry either. Instead of hunger, I get this weird almost burning feeling when my stomach is completely empty. It can usually be calmed with a Tums and a few sips of Water, but I know I need some nutrients in there too. It's so strange to me to be so aware of when my stomach is full and empty...that's something new I'm going to have to learn to figure out.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
