That was my most difficult part of this entire process, I need the crunch. I am assuming you are post operation? I know words don't always help but truly it will all come back and you will be fine. Soon enough you will be able to get your crunch and then weightless will be exciting. It's all worth it, that's why we did is.

I remember feeling this exact same way. I was just like, "Dear God, just give me something with texture ... anything ..." It was like my teeth were going soft and mushy like all the food I was eating. I was actually nervous the first time actually having to "chew" something.

Silly, but real.

This too, shall pass.

One time during my post op this happened to me. I chewed up something crunchy (can't remember what now) but then spit it out into a napkin....sounds gross but it helped the chew craving.

Gum is not crunchy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry. I feel the OPs pain, as I am preop liquids right now and I tend to yell when I'm hungry.

      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!
