Recommended Posts

Hi everyone :) My name is Katiana and I'm a band to sleever (SD 278 CW 238) and Im so concerned for myself. I have ZERO appetite so there I don't eat and barely drink. For example today I had one of the squeeze kids yogurts and a few pieces of watermelon and pineapple and that's all I had all day with about 16oz of water...and that's how my diets be on the regular...as anyone else out there like this???? I feel so bad when I read all the different things ppl are eating and the shakes they are getting in and Im not doing any of that and I know my health is going to decline if I keep at this rate...so please of anyone gone thru this let me know...

Have you tried putting yourself on an eating schedule? Ignore whether you feel hunger - you may not feel hungry. Just plan to have something every few hours and hold to that. Same thing with Water - do things like plan to drink a few sips every 10 minutes whether you're thirsty or not.

Have you spoken with your doctor or dietitian? You're going to get dehydrated if you're only drinking 16 oz of Water in a day! Minimum 48,oz, 64 is better. It also sounds like you're not getting much Protein. I was told focus on Protein first, at least 60 g per day. Have you tried any of the Protein shakes?

I agree with SpaceDust - put yourself on a schedule. Eat even if you don't feel hungry, but not to the point of being uncomfortably full. You may have to eat something every couple of hours, but it's really important that you get in Water and some nutrition!

      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!
