I felt that I was hungry all the time until I started eating "real" food. Are you getting all the Protein in? That helps. And enough liquid.

I am 5 months out and looking back I feel that I was having more acid issues. Not hungry issues.

I also found that taking my anti acid meds at same time every day helped and they do take a few days to get into my system.

I only was eating 400-500 cals at 3 weeks out. It also took me a while to settle into a comfortable routine. I find that I can't "eat" in the morning. I do better with a cup of coffe and my 2 scoops of protien in my coffee. Get my Protein over with pretty much. That keeps me full with drinking my liquids.

hang in there you will keep trying different things and find the one that works best for you!

Awful lot of calories for this early out. Should be 600-800. Are you following basics 1. Don't drink with meals or 30 min before or after

2. Taking a PPI

3. Eating dense Protein first.

Try this and you should not be hungry at all. 1200 calories is what people eat in maintence.

You should be eating 800 calories a day. The Atkins diet is what worked best for me. Protein and dark green vegetables.

      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!
