Yet to get to the green mode



Recommended Posts

Ok I got a fill over a week ago and while I am not having issues with eating I do have problems with drinking, One time in the past it was filled too much where I could not even swallow Water without throwing up, so I am confused right now. Only things I have eaten are eggs/fish and things of that nature and like eating 1 egg filled me up. But when drinking, I am uncomfortable, I am not sure if its because in the past I could always guzzle water with no problem, and now I can only take one drink. Another question I have is when I do drink I get a pain in my left back area????? I have tried to read up since its been awhile since I had a fill, I am somewhat uncomfortable but if this is normal I want to continue to work on this.

I am going through the same thing. I figured out if I sip Water I am usually okay. I can't eat more than three small bites every 4 hours so I rely heavily on drinking Water and I can normally get in one Protein shake, but it takes me all day to sip on it. Gone are the days of guzzling water. It's small sips constantly throughout the day.

Hope you feel better!

thank you for your post, I am on week two and yes realizing that sipping is a must, I too still can only eat like one egg or around 1/2 cup, but staying full. I think the other pain was just not eating much so things were...lets just say sticking around.

      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!
