Its called ruiminating, I think, its often linked with bulimia. Its a common thing that bariatric folks do.

I have heard of it becoming a eating disorder after bypass so please be careful :-) your reaching out and see the issue and that's good :-) I know it's such a broken record but get back to basics: Protein and Water first. I had a whole other set of issues post op... I was scared of eating and my new tummy splitting open or dumping. That and I had zero desire to eat. I was actually disgusted at people eating and the amounts for a long time... I didn't go through food mourning cus I was so sickened by people eating. I saw a psychologist to talk about my issues. Maybe reach out to your bariatric doctor and they can suggest a good therapist who has delt with bariatric patients.

Pam we all have different surgeons this is my surgeons protocol. He has his reasons for 75% weightloss before adding fruits and veggies. Most the people on this forum are eating fruits and veggies much sooner than myself. Intact I, don't see the nutritionist until 75% had been met.

I know that 2 weeks is hell but I promise it does get better. I struggled myself. Reach out on here. We have all been where you are and we have all struggled. Just set your mind to it. Maybe talk with your family about it and let them know how you feel and see if they can be a little more considerate to what you are going through. Good luck to you.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
