You're hungry cuz you're not eating... Clear liquids have never been a meal and provide minimal nutrients. you'll feel better when you're on full liquids. also, being around all that food probably had more to do with head hunger than anything else. I would avoid those situations if possible for a while.. you won't find me sitting at a restaurant or anything bc of that very reason!

It gets better. It would get much better if your family was more supportive of you and didn't eat that crap in front of you, but you have to do your part to avoid exposing yourself to that stuff in the early days (for exactly the reasons you experienced; it's depressing to smell/see foods you used to eat and know you should not eat them!!)

Your body is still raw and reeling from the surgery, so hunger cues and fullness and all of that is going to feel really off for a while.

As far as feeling really down - fat stores hormones. As you lose fat, all of those hormones get flushed back into your body and can cause you to feel down, weepy, angry or other extremes. Be aware that you might experience mood swings, but remind yourself that it isn't really you - it is those hormones!

And everyone does get a bit "what did I just do" right after surgery when you're still swollen, sore, and can't hardly drink your little bits of Protein shakes and broths and things taste off or you don't feel any restriction.... This is a VERY short time in your journey, tho, so don't worry - you're going to be feeling great and doing way better in just a little while. :)

It will get better with time. You won't really start feeling the restriction until you start eating solids.

You will be able to enjoy those same foods again, in moderation.

As stated your hormones are a little out of whack during the initial weight loss; it is common feel emotional.

Maybe those were tears of joy on how much more handsome you are going to look?

      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!
