7 months post op; having some problems?



Recommended Posts

7 months out and I feel like losing 70 pounds isn't enough!! I don't feel like I over eat at all, because I take 3 bites of something and im done, however, when I do eat I feel so incredibly full that it makes me sick, don't know what Im doing wrong or if this is normal???? Any idea????

CONGRATS on losing 70 lbs. It is frustrating when you can only eat 3 bites of something. Have you spoke with your doctor lately? BTW my weight loss slowed way down at around 7 months so don't be discouraged if it happens to you. Just keep doing what your doing now. :P

70lbs = 10lbs a month - not bad at all. If you didn't have this surgery, would you be down 70lbs? Losing slower is healthier. Are you getting enough Protein and Water? With only being able to take 3 bites, it sounds like you aren't really getting enough nutrition. Maybe speak to your doc or NUT.

what some of us have to do is up our calories which results in weight loss.....

perhaps eat some yogurt and or sf pudding, sf Jello, peanuts, Protein shakes......

Do what you need to do so that you do get your nutrition in.

are you taking your Vitamins?

All these things are really important...............: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.

        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!
