I never visit this site and I never post...I really wish I utilized it more but I have pretty much been "on my own" in this journey. Tomorrow I will be 3 months post-op and I'm really feeling weird about this whole situation.

Bigest question/reason for this post: Is it normal that I feel hungry a few hours after a "big" meal? I mean I ate a lot tonight, too much in fact that I actually vomited after (that doesnt happen often, so please dont think thats the underlying problem in this post)...but here I am about 2.5 hours later hungry...but I can't decide if I'm REALLY hungry or if its my bad habits creeping back in??

Another thought, I feel like I am already failing at this...I am around 30 lbs lost since surgery which isn't huge compared to other's numbers, but I was on the "smaller" side before surgery so my doctor said that I shouldnt expect to see the drastic numbers others do.

I guess I am looking for a little motivation/support/helping words. It's not fair for me to ask that of y'all when I have not been doing the same. I am going to make more of an effort to get on this site because I really talk to no one about this besides my closest family members...but they aren't going through this so it's not really all the support i need.

Ok that is my vent for now.

** just to hold myself accountable, I know why I'm not losing more, it is because I have not been exercising like i should.

Well, I get hungry after a few hours. Most people on here eat about 5 - 6 times a day. It may also just be acid which can mimic hunger (I take a PPI for this) or head hunger.

If you are only eating three times a day I would try adding in 2 small Snacks to see if that helps.

I actually eat 6 times a day because my day starts around 6 and ends around 12am or 1 am.

So I eat Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack.

You should also try the acid reducers. Helped me a ton :)

I'm sorry your having trouble.

I just had my 1 month checkup and was told I'm supposed to eat every 2-3 hrs. Do you have access to a NUT?

30# is great...that is 10# a month!!!

You might be having issues with acid...a lot of discussions on this site how it simulates hunger.

      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.
