4 days post op and hungry



Recommended Posts

I really think this is head hunger. I just want something to chew...I'm hanging in there I eat my cream Soups and full liquids but

I thought I had a grasp somewhat on the mind hungry since I did well on pre op. This really kinda sucks. But I know there's a reason I'm doing this

I'm six days away and I can tell you that you are definitely not alone. I think I just miss chewing the most. I'm trying very hard to be good, but I did have a raw salad a few days ago. I'm hoping since it was low cal and no fat it won't affect my liver shrinkage.

I'm two months post op. Felt the same as you. However, I've had to relearn what being hungry actually feels like. I definitely get hungry now but once I eat all is good. I will tell you that it gets better. The surgery for me was not a silver bullet. You have to eat the right foods, the right amounts, and with the right frequency. But, I couldn't be happier with my results. I'm down 48 lbs. since my October 8 surgery. I kinda thought that after the surgery I'd never ever be hungry and that just isn't the case...with me. I'd say follow the doctors orders, take your eating and exercise seriously and you'll be just fine. Good luck to you.

      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!
