I had my gastric bypass on 11/8. I had major issues with the pain meds. Once I stopped then I felt so much better. My question is how do you know how much broth to eat? I'm able to tolerate sugar free popsicles. I am really missing regular food. Especially my saltine crackers. I used to eat like a pack of crackers a week.

I had one ounce every 15 minutes. It's more about staying hydrated during week 1 than overeating or oversipping. Give yourself a few more hours and the feeling should pass. It gets easier, I swear!

@@sjohn185 I had my bypass the same day that you did. I haven't had any hunger issues yet. I hope that it doesn't happen too soon. I can't drink too much at one time so I am basically just sipping.

I had mine on the 4th and I agree about the pain meds. I stopped then last night. I feel so much better. It seems we all on here have a ways to go but good for us in the steps we have taken.

      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.

        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!
