I don't think you should, personally.

Maybe something a little less harsh on your new stomach. Whenever I think about seriiously eating, I ask myself if its head-hunger or is there an emotional tie, or if its just the memory of food leaving my system.

I also remember how my surgeon told me that he had someone go to a chinese buffet after surgery; her new sleeve didn't hold, cause she wasn't supposed to be on solids, and her stomach burst. She was in the hospital for 6 months, cause there was no way to surgically repair it...that keeps me from eating A LOT of things.

Depends on your doctors orders. I would Follow the rules for your safety. My doctor had me on solids week 3. I had to chew really well. Might only be able to get in one shrimp. It was a bit frustrating but I got through it and you will too. Good luck.

Sometimes I think it is my mind playing with me that makes me feel like I'm always hungry it's hard for me.

No problem. I am 7 mos in and I don't do Chinese much anymore. I eat according to what feels good and rice and pastas fill me up too quickly. If I have Chinese I have teriyaki chicken, no rice. I tried after a few months and it made me sick so I just recently tried it again and it was ok. Head hunger is the worse but it gets better. It gets to a point where you recognize the difference.

I totally agree with almost there, it does get better and you may just be experiencing head hunger. Hang in there and know it gets 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!
