1 hour at a time. Find something that occupies your time and your mind so you're not thinking about food. Make sure you are getting at least 64 ounces of Water, Protein water, broth whatever you are allowed in addition to your Protein Shakes. You can do this and soon this phase will be forgotten and you'll be enjoying more and more things to eat along with better health.

I'm getting concerned, my surgery was a little over 2 weeks ago and I'm just starting stage 2. honestly before the surgery everyone was telling me how afterwards I wouldn't be hungry and I would only be able to take in about the amount of 3 shot glasses. I haven't noticed that at all.. I'm still always hungry and I can take in as much liquid as I want. It doesn't seem like my stomach is smaller.. Lol has anyone else that is farther along in this journey had that experience? Please someone give me some good news

I am 5 weeks out and had the same issue. The entire time I am thinking that I got DUPED! I just kept drinking my Water and my shakes and sugar free popcicles really helped me. I had a lot of head hunger and it takes a while to work through that one. I found that (this may sound weird) when I got like that I oils eat a listerine breath strip, gargle with listerine or just brush my teeth and then drink some water and it helped. Greek yogurt also helps a lot because of the Protein. I promise it gets better. Getting through the pre-op is hard, having the surgery is harder but getting through the 6-8 weeks post surgery is the hardest of the hard. I am 5 weeks out and down 30 pounds and just that little amount has made a huge difference in my over all well being. Eyes on the prize don't let your head get into your stomach!!!!!

First month I was painfully hungry. It was part of my healing. Yes some people never feel hunger some people do. I don't mind . I rarely feel hunger now 4 months out. But when I do I think I could eat a horse. Two bites later I'm stuffed..so that's the difference..feeling hunger isn't the be all and end all. It's okay

      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!
