7 weeks out. I'm scared because I just started wanting food again



Recommended Posts

Up until 6 weeks out. I was never hungry and the crazy thing. Was I never thought about food. Then I had to go out of town for 6 days unexpectedly. And I knew I had to get Protein. Not being home was hard. I relied on Protein Bars and nuts. To get my protein. We spent alot of time visiting family at hospital. And i only had access to a vending machine. Which is why i chose nuts. Now. I just got home. I keep thinking about food. Trying to eat proper protein today. I'm doing ok. But the thinking and wanting food all the time again. Scares me. I am wondering if all the choc protein bars make me crave food again or what. But I had to get protein and I didn't have a fridge at hotel. Which made it even harder. Now that I'm home. I'm not eating the bars anymore. But I'm so scared. The fact I want food all day again. I thought I'd of gained weight on trip. I actually lost 3. I was shocked because I felt fat and puffy after a week of eating like that. Has anyone been through wanting food like this ?

I have to agree with Amy...bars make me hungry. I am surprised that the hotel didn't give you a refrigerator. I travel a lot in the beginning. I got a doctor' note and spoke to managers of the hotels. I was always able to get a frig. or access to a frig because it was a medicate reason.

If you drink mostly high Protein low carb normally, the bars might have knocked you out of ketosis. If you do something like that Atkins induction phase, it will probably put you back in ketosis and knock out the hungries. Be sure to get in all of your protein and Water.< /p>

      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!
