5 months post op



Recommended Posts

I will be 5 months post op on the 15th. I had my 6th fill last week. I am feeling more restriction and I am eatting way less than even last week before the fill. However, I am not losing weight and I am wondering how to get the Protein in. I need some ideas for good Protein Shakes etc. I can eat maybe half of McDonalds cheeseburger, but then end out sliming a little and spitting out the last bit or so.

I also can not eat until around noon or later. Sometimes in the morning I can't even drink Water. Which is fine, but I am having a hard time with the not eatting until afternoon and then still not being able to get much down.

Any input is great

Thanks

Jessica

TRy a warm cuppa in the morning to relax things. Stay away from McDonalds. Try some tuna or salmon or moist chicken and salad and eat slowly and chew well. Stay away from bread. If things don't settle you may need a slight unfill.

Hi, I will be 5 months post op on the 14th and like you Im having some problems. I cant eat in the mornings. I do good getting my meds down before I go to work. I dont get lunch til about 1:30 or maybe even as late as 2:30 on some days. Sadly Ive been grazing on cheetos (thats a big no-no), to keep my stomach from hurting while trying to work. I would also like to know of some healthy Snacks.< /p>

Ive been stuck at the same weight for about 2 months. Im wondering if my ports too full. There is not much I can eat that I dont get the slime and then run to the bathroom. But I still catch myself eating too fast and taking too big of a bite and not chewing as good as I should. This causes me to still be hungry even though I have just eaten.Forty six years of bad habits are hard to break, so Im still trucking along hoping things will get better.

      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!
