Sorry sent it too soon. Stupid phone! Lol ok so my story is... I am about 2 and a half months out of surgery. Lost about 45 pounds and I feel awesome!!! But I seem to be going through a mental phase right now. I seem to be CONSTANTLY second guessing myself in terms of what I eat. I am pretty much back to a normal diet. I avoid fried foods and sodas and they don't really feel great in my belly so if doesn't bother me that I dont eat them lol. However, lately I seem to always tell myself I'm eating too much. When in reality I know I'm not. I sometimes think I actually eat too little, but my subconscious thinks I overeat. Does anyone else have this feeling. I guess it just takes time to have your head adjust.

Also one more question. Lately I feel like I a little bit hungry. Im taking an acid reducer so that's not it, and it's not huge hunger pains, but I do feel it and my tummy grumbles a little. Usually I drink something and it goes right away. Thoughts?

Hi, I'm almost 2 months post op and have been feeling the same. I'm noticing an increase in heartburn and getting hungry more freq. I've started writing down everything I eat. My tummy grumbles n I eat a lil snack, applesauce, pudding to try n take the edge off. A friend of mine said to try and eat every 2 hrs. I've started that n helps but the heartburn is getting bad. Zantac 150 helps so much..have u experimced headaches? I check my Bld pressure n its normal. But my heart rate is in the 50's. Low.

I'm going to call the Dr tomorrow.

Measure everything! And if you have a smart phone- download myfitnesspal and use it faithfully. It really does help a lot!

And lastly if you are losing- then you're probably right on track! :)

I have myfitnesspal. I do love it. It really helps. And ur right, obviously if I'm loosing the weight then what I'm doing and the level I'm currently at is correct. Thanks for your help. Btw: I haven't had headaches, but try increasing your fluids. Headaches can be a sign of dehydration. There are different levels of dehydration, and it's not just thirst. It's different for everyone.

      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!
