Post op question



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 12/7. I feel really great. I’m working out on a regular basis. As of today, I’m down 43Lbs. My issue is I’m hungry more than I thought I’d be. Obviously it doesn’t take much to fill me up; but it worries me to be hungry so often. Has anyone else experienced this?

Intense work outs *may* boost your need for caloric intake which *may* prompt a response from your body to want more calories...

I think regular cardio and strength training is great - training for a marathon will boost hunger. In my view . I still use thebshakes to get the Protein first thing in the am and if I do the hunger is much less -

I use my Fitbit app and log all my liquids . I also do at least one but often 2 Protein Shakes a day . I will Thin then down to get more liquid in . I drink out of a swell bottle and know how much I am drinking . I’ve got to be diligent !

I had my surgery on 12/10 and some days I can eat every 2 hours and some days it's hard to even have one normal meal. I found it best just to get in a routine. For me, I wake up and go for a mile and a half walk. Then an hour or two later i'll try to have a meal (1.5 ounces or less still for me). I just try to eat 3 meals a day, mostly chicken or for a snack i'll have some cheese. So far it's worked well for me I'm down over 70 pounds.

      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!
