When do you like food again



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks out and can't stomach thinking about food. It makes me sick to think about it. I have a hard time eating. I'm not throwing up anything just nothing sounds or is appealing. Does this feeling pass? Will I like food again.

Eating and drinking finally stopped being a chore for me 3 months out. Now I love food again, and make sure every bite is a yummy, healthy one (well, almost every bite)

Oh honey, you will learn to love food again! You may even learn to love it more than before, because you won't have to deal with the constant guilt of overeating, and will feel true satisfaction and satiety! Don't worry - it will come! You are going through a unique period that many of us went through, with the nausea constantly present. You tastes are going to change and the foods you crave may change for many months to come, but yes, things get better from here! Blessings!

At 5.5 months I still don't love food and am hoping this lasts. My love of food is what got me into this mess.

I love considering food for its nutritional value and not as a source of entertainment or method of soothing.

I am 3 months & 1 week post op and started to actually want to eat about 3 wks ago. Before that I couldn't walk into a grocery store without feeling sick. It does get better! Hang in there! It'll go by fast and you will be happy that you made the decision that you did.

I actually have been enjoying food beginning of my 6th week. not eating that much of it but some. Even small bites ( I mean tiny bites of tortilla chips) with guac. / salsa. I had 3 bites of an enchiilda. But this is last week of soft foods for me as my surg. was April 21st. I have been fine.. no stomach pains no over eatting. all is been good.

      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!
