how has surgery impacted your hunger?



Recommended Posts

It helped for a short while. But I still had a lot of head hunger. Now the hunger is back, and I'm just very relieved that during my honeymoon phase, I had the chance to learn to crave new healthy foods. It's not that I don't stray or have cravings for bad foods, but I'm very satisfied with eating healthy meals.
I have a fairly large capacity, so I choose to fill my tool with lots of leafy greens, raw and al dente veggies, limited healthy fats, limited dairy, and great dense lean Protein.< br>
I'm craving some serious salad greens. It's a new feeling but I'm just waiting for the day when I can have it!

Right now what I crave most is taste and flavor.I feel like today everything tastes like flour paste. And way back in my little Frustr8 days I did eat paste, got to be a school paste connoisseur. Carter's was the company that had the smoothest and best. I ate it partly for boredom, but mainly to stave off hunger until I could get real food. Yeah, even back then the Ghrelin monster had reared its ugly head
Just like I have alluded in the past, some people are BORN TO BE WILD ; well I definitely was BORN TO BE FAT and even the times I fell within normal parameters, under-cover lurked Obesity, just biding its time until it could reclaim me as its😪🎪 own.

I still do not have a lot of stomach hunger, small pangs and if I am out shopping I can go a very long time without eating.

Head hunger is always around - see food - oooo I want that, never mind I am not hungry. It improves if you are not in crisis or anxiety mode.

It also helps to seriously enjoy the food you do eat, buy the shrimp, the asparagus, the tiny brussels sprouts sprinkle with sea salt and sliced almonds. Don't eat distracted, no phone, no TV, not in the car - unless unavoidable circumstances arise, use small salad plates, chew, chew, chew. Good luck.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
