3 1/2 months out- a few observations- anyone else identify?



Recommended Posts

So here are a few things I notice.

I can't eat avocados ????. I throw up almost immediately after.

Sometimes, all I can keep down are a few Pringles - about five. But then the next meal I can tolerate something more substantial.

Noodles are No Bueno! I cannot digest them either- and I throw up after.

I have just had a cold. This is gross, but I have been eating smaller amounts because I am already full from - drainage. Ewe.

I lose a few pounds and then silence from the scales for a week or so. Every now and then my weight will go up a pound or so. But then the loss continues on track.

I really want a food I can eat that I can say, wow, that was awesome!

chicken broth with lemon juice is comforting most of the time.

I go to the grocery store and I wander- looking for something appetizing and something I can keep down.

But overall, I feel better than I did pre op. And people are amazed, but sometimes, I don't see what they see.

I have more energy overall.

I'm about a month ahead of you and Ican have everything. The only thing that makes me feel nauseaus is egg yolks, so I'm only having egg whites. Just got all my blood work done and everything is good, although I'm really tired and haven't been working out much this past week. Also, craving chocolate :(

I am just over 3 months out. I can eat most things. I had some stuffed chicken that was dry and another time a piece of a crescent roll; both of them made me nauseous. I have way more energy than before. My hair is starting to thin. :(

I will be 3 months November 22. I can relate with the grocery store! Shopping is torture. Nothing looks good, so I'm eating the same things over and over. I have been on a major seafood kick. It really has been the few things that agree with me. A lot of talapia, shrimp, tuna, and crab. chicken is hard to eat. So is some beef. I am still completely staying away from junk food and carbs. Feeling pretty darn good! I also walk 5-6 times a week. No Hair loss as of yet.....

      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!
