Am I a slow healer?



Recommended Posts

I am 7 weeks out. I still eat mostly yogurt. Protein Shakes And occasionally oatmeal.

I have tried more solid food like chicken or pork or a small homemade hamburger.

I feel sick and nauseous after eating them though.

I read posts here all the time where people are fine after the first week or two.

I am definitely better as every week goes by

But I thought by this time I would be eating a little more normal.

Anyone else in the same situation?

I did have a hiatal hernia repaired the same time as sleeve. But not sure if that affects his my sleeve heals.

I think everyone is different and you have to move at the pace that is best for you. I also had a hiatal hernia repair. On Tuesday I will be 4 weeks out and I have been on mushie foods this past week until week 7. Scrambled eggs, oatmeal, mushed up avocado, yogurt, creamy Soups, etched.

Too early for me for hamburger meat or chicken, but I am sure there are those at 4 weeks out who would feel comfortable eating those things.

Go at your own pace and don't do anything you feel you aren't ready for.

      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!
