Hello! I had a VSG on 11/29. So far I feel like I’m doing good, considering I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel. It’s so weird not being “hungry”. Although I feel like my new tummy is starting to give me cues. On mushy food stage right now. Hoping to be advanced at my second PO appointment today!

Welcome! Congrats on your surgery!! Yeah, I never lost my hunger but it sounds nice... Good luck with advancing your diet! It can take a few months for those tummy cues to all come through accurately since so many nerves are cut and need to heal. But I certainly feel it when my stomach is ready for food!

I also loved not being hungry. It felt very liberating to me, and it was much easier to stick to my plan back then. Like most others, though, it eventually came back - at five months out for me (it usually comes back sometime during the first year post-surgery). Things do get harder once you start dealing with hunger again..

      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!
