What in the world? Do I have 2 stomachs?!



Recommended Posts

So, I've graduated to soft-foods. Has anyone had the sense of eating, being full, and simultaneously feeling hunger pangs (not head hunger, actual hunger pangs?) It feels like I have a pouch which is working, and then a stomach below it, which is whining and raising holy hell at the same time. What's this about? Geesh.

Could be reflux, it sometimes mimics hunger.

I remember my disconnected stomach rumbling and squirting. Has settled down now.

I've found my too full pains often mimic my hunger pains.

I thought I was the only one that felt this way. I can literally eat, feel full but then under/below/behind that feeling is the sense that I am still hungry and growling/pain sensations. I usually just try to ignore it except when I first wake up because then it is unbearable.

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that. I thought maybe it was just me. I have an appointment with my surgeon on Friday and will try to remember to ask him about it then. if I learn anything I can share, I will.

This. It's weird though this feeling for me will be there one day but then it won't be the next.

      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!
