I am having a difficult time eating now that I am pregnant. Everything looks, smells, and tastes gross.

What are some suggestions?

Talk with your Dr or Nut. and see what they say. Really don't know what your nutritional values shoukd be right now, but they should know.

Have you had your band unfilled? I had mine unfilled and this did wonders for my appitite. Especially since I could easily eat a wider variety of food, like rice that is sometimes good when you don't feel like eating anything. A lot of people seem to be really worried about gaining weight, but I have been eating what seems appetizing to me for the last several weeks and haven't even gained a whole pound yet. So, don't be overly worried about that!

I did have an unfill. I'm scheduled to see a nutritionist next week. I think the nausea and gas just make it hard to eat anything.

I just want to make sure I eat healthy.

I have not gained anything. I lost 10 pounds so far due to the illness and lack of good intake.

The first six months if my pregnancy were like that. But come seventh month I did fine. Intact I gained 100 pounds. Ouch!

Congrats on your pregnancy!!! Having that feeling in the first few months is normal. The first 14 weeks were the worst, and now I eat anything I get my hands on LOL (within reason). Talk to your dr and see about Zofran or some other kind of anti nausea pill. They work wonders. Make sure to get your Water in! Especially being pregnant in the summer. Its super easy to dehydrate

Thank you! It's getting better. Those pills sucked. They just caused constipation... No fun there. Now I eat a few more foods than before. I'm still picky and not gaining any weight... Dr doesn't seem worried yet. I'm being seen by high risk Dr's so I just go with what they say. After this nutrition panel I'll know what else I need to do.

      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!
