Feel Like I Can Eat A Buffet!



Recommended Posts

I am 7 months out and I feel like I can eat at an all you can buffet...., no I haven't tried it, but I don't have that full feeling as long as I used to and I feel like I can eat more. Example, I was able to eat about 3 bites of a grilled chicken breast and now I feel like I can eat 3/4 of it plus some veggies. Is this happening to anyone else? Is it stretched? I also haven't lost weight in months! U an starting to worry and get discouraged.

Girl...I am right there with you. I Can eat a lot more food. I guess this is the time to really focus on what we are eating. There are days when I feel the old carb monster creeping back in. This is definitely a struggle. It can be really easy to go super high in my calories. I found tracking helps, I feel really bad and fun myself not wanting to go over 1200 calories a day. I also notice if focus on getting all my fluids in then I'm so focused on that it distracts me from food.

It is really scarey when we discover that we can actually eat more......Your stomach is completely healed now and you will be able to eat more. Now it all depends on the choices that you make to eat. My body slowed way down around month 5. I did continue to lose weight at a slower pace. But now I can eat a child's portion size. I have to make better choices so I tend to chose Proteins first, veggies, and then I'm pretty much done.....But I can eat a lot more food if I eat slider foods, so I'm really working on avoiding those foods. I do have then on a rare occasion. You are doing great so keep it up..... :)

Thank you girls! Ugh. I was so ready to call the doc and find out what was going on! Ugh. I feel the carb monster to and have to fight him off. I try to keep it basic, Protein first then veggies... But I was scared when I noticed I can eat more dense Protein then I had in the past....

      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.

      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!
