Does it ever feel normal again.



Recommended Posts

Yes.. sometimes you have to go back a stage or modify what you're eating... maybe introducing a good you're bdy I'd personally not ready for ??

For instance. Many drink some Decaf coffee early on... I'm three weeks out and it makes me feel sick! So maybe latter....everyone heals different of course but I've commonly read...around six months in, most people seem to be able to eat anything

Just stay strong! Eventually it will all calm down and you'll get used to your new stomach. Some days are better then others but it is all worth it once you learn how your stomach works again!

Keep up the great work and stay strong!

Yup. It all goes back to normal for most folks.

No pain, just feelings of fullness after a cup or so of food. And you will likely be able to eat anything - candy, Cookies, cake, fast food, breads, fried stuff... all with no ill effects.

Some folks do get lucky and still have a negative reaction to eating the bad stuff, but that doesn't seem to be something you can count on happening for sure.

That's why it is sooooo important to get your new healthy eating habits established and rock solid before the first year is out, because chances are very high that you will have no issues eating anything after that. The only thing that will save you and make sure you have continued long-term success is relearning how to eat and what to eat now.

Thank you everyone for the te assurance. I' think my struggle had been kind of well a struggle with dealing with if I want to have more. Or enough to feel full bc the uncomfortableness. But you are right establishing good eating habits should be something I focus on. I'm excited about that.

      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!
