Hi everyone! I had my RNY about 4 weeks ago and I feel like I'm already struggling. I need to stay motivated. I seem to always feel hungry/rarely full and I am scared I'm going to go back to my old ways of stress eating. Would love to have someone to mentor me or a buddy that had surgery around the same time?

Thank you!!!

The hunger is head hunger most likely. What is making you want to eat? Now is the time to work on the head part. I examined my eating habits and I am "hungry" when I am home alone. I have figured out it is boredom for me. Who knew? Instead of eating I now work out. If I am hungry I ask myself why didn't you go to the gym? Then I go. If I go directly after work then I never get hungry except for meal time. I also only allow Protein Snacks.

Hi! Thank you for the advice! I've heard of the "head hunger" thing before and I'm sure that is the case most of the time. Since I was probably 14 my thing was to eat way too much at night. I'm still in that habit now. After the kids are in bed and I have some down time I end up eating (because I swear if feel hungry). Like tonight I ate 6 Popsicles. SF but still not good. Idk just feel kind I'm screwing all the work that was done to prepare for this and I just feel like I've ruined it.

Hi

Forgive yourself! We all have our moments where we feel like we have goofed. Just like before surgery if you dwell on it you will stay focused on that instead of focusing on program. Anytime that you feel you did something outside program just say ok that happened. Now I will start the program all over and get back to routine. Wishing you luck in your journey!

      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!

        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!
