Please tell me I won't be hungry anymore!



Recommended Posts

I'm almost three months out and I feel very little physical hunger so far. I do get the head hunger to 'graze' at times, but if I "think" about my hunger, I really don't have much in the physical sense, unless I go 5-6 hours without eating anything I start to feel a little low on energy. I'm eating 4-5 meals of no more than 4oz of almost pure Protein. I take in at least 64 oz of liquids and I checked my caloric intake a few days back and I'm just under 1,000 calories. On days I exercise, I burn between 500-700 calories.

I recently went on a vacation and eating felt more like a nuisance, which I thought was rather funny. I actually bought Snacks like cottage cheese and Protein Bars. I lost weight on vacation! Who knew that could happen?

Hi

9 months out, I feel hunger occasionally but it is a polite sensation which,

if it is not convenient, I can ignore. An hour later, I will get a slightly stronger sensation.

Even though I used to eat low GI foods to avoid energy swings, I used to be ravenous , headachy, and tense about 2-3 hours after eating and was desperate to get to food - anything.

From talking to (thin) friends, I understand that the polite "empty" which I now feel is more

like the "normal" sensations that they have always experienced.

      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!
