Not hungry, Not full



Recommended Posts

I am a week post up, and don't feel either hungry or full. I'm just eating something every 2 to 3 hours. Since I don't feel full, I just make sure I pay attention to quantity and don't over-eat. Is this normal? If so, when do people get these sensors back?

I've had zero issues so far!

I think it's normal. I'm the same way at 5 days post op. I'm on purees, and have read we should really start to feel the restriction when we get to more sense Protein. With liquids, I get pain after a few sips, so my guess is that means stop.

Make sure you are on an acid reducing medication, hopefully a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole, protonix, etc. for many people acid can mimic hunger. It did for me and when they increased my PPI it went away. There are lots of posts on this!

It is normal. You will probably not have the full feeling until you reach the solid food stage.

I'm 3 months + post op and never feel hungry. No longer have that sensation. I've gone half a day without eating. (Not recommended!) I do feel full right away after eating about 1/4 cup of solids.

      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!
