Almost one week out and hungry!



Recommended Posts

how often are you sipping on your liquids? have you remembered to include clear broth and popsicles into your plan? I would think the broths are more filling than just Water and sugar free non carbonated beverages?

Today I was truly HUNGRY! Stuck to the thin liquids plan but I'm hungry still. Help!

When was your surgery? There is a lot of what people call "head hunger" here. My husband and I do not feel hunger, and our doctor told us to not eat 3 meals a day, to only eat when we feel like it. Apparently you are still on the liquids stage so keep it up! Good luck!

I'm only "eating" three times a day. I have broth or Tomato Soup, Popsicles, sugar free beverages, 1/2 cup to a cup of Protein Shake a day.

Surgery was on February 13 and I was hungry that very day. When I got the all clear for liquids I was ecstatic and at the hospital had broth and 1/2 cup of tea

I was hungry for the first week after surgery and then it passed. I think it was actually my stomach settling post-surgery and/or acid rumblings. Take your anti-acids!

Only half a cup of Protein shake? Today was the first day I wasn't hungry. I finally got two Protein shakes down. I had to take them everywhere with me and pack a giant ice cube in the bottle. But that made such a difference for me.

Hope you figure it out. The hunger was really upsetting me the past two days.

I saw my nutritionist for a follow up today and she told me to take in more Protein Shakes. So from now on I will try 3 8 oz shakes a day to see if I can get rid of the hunger pains. She said I wasn't taking in enough protein! Thanks again everyone!!

That was my guess because that was my struggle pre-op. hope you get to feeling better soon!

      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!
