5 days postop sleeve surgery; I an so hungry and full at same time



Recommended Posts

On May 17 I had sleeve done with hiatal hernia repair. I have hunger. Like the way I felt before surgery when your stomach would growl. All day. Non stop. And when I drink, hiccups and lots of burping. Try and have something like Soup or whatever, pain bloating hiccups and burping. I feel like I made a mistake. Anyone else have this?

The first few weeks are going to be tough. You just have to do what your dr tells you and get through it. Try to keep your mind busy and not on food. Turn off the tv when commercials come on because I swear...EVERY one of them is for food after you have surgery and it's a mind f***.

I had vsg 5/17 too. When I feel like that I grab a sf popcycle and walk around for a bit. I'm not sure if this distracts me or actual makes a difference....either way I feel better.

There are pressure points behind your ear that relieve pain. I would find the sensitive spots behind on the cartilage and put your finger on it and rotate for the count of twenty. It should help and drink Water you could be dehydrated.

      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!
