So... I am 12 days post op, surgery went very well mild discomfort but nothing extreme. The only problem I am having is that I AM HUNGRY?!?! I have read all about head hunger and have tried talking myself out of it, talking to my NUT and to my therapist but I promise you guys I am really actually just hungry? Is this weird?

Of course I find once I eat several bits of something I'm good but then I'm hungry again a couple hours later? I was on the full liquid diet for 30 days pre-op and am still on it until Thursday. I'm hoping when I start puréed foods Thursday maybe hunger will cease fire? Please let me know your thoughts as I just can't wrap my head around it. Thank you in advance! Oh and pre-op weight 284, today I weight 255.

First off great weight loss! When you get to more Protein dense food in purée and soft food the fullness will stay with you longer liquid type things will clear your stomach much faster.

      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!
