My tummy actually growled ! ! !



Recommended Posts

I'm about 5.5 months post op, and have still not felt true hunger. I knew it was time to eat because I would get grouchy, or just kind of feel blah.

Anyways, I always take my Prilosec in the morning, wait an hour, and have Breakfast. This morning was no different except I got distracted renting a car online, and mapping our trip to West Virginia next week that I forgot to eat at the 1 hour mark.

2 hours passed, and my tummy growled so loudly it actually scared me. It was an amazing feeling, and it sounded pretty cool.

I ate some cream cheese, a slice of ham, and 3 sociable crackers. Yummy ! ! ! I still didn't feel "hungry", but knew that I needed to eat. Just thought I'd share.

Isn't it weird, when we were fat, (I still am, but i digress), did our tummys ever growl or were we so full all the time and kept feeding ourselves that we didn't know true hunger? It's funny how you say you scared yourself with a tummy growl and then still didn't feel all that hungry. . . that is so amazing!

Tiffy, You forgot to eat! That is what my thin friend says to me all the time. She forgets to eat. Forgets. to eat.

I want that to happen to me . At least once in my lifetime.

Forget to eat. What a concept.

I can easily forget to eat, but there is not much time to get in all the Protein and fluids, between work tasks, etc...so I have to constantly be mindful to be sipping or stopping for a meal. Once I'm at goal I won't feel bad about forgetting though.

Tiffy, I heard my stomach growl last night. My hubby looked at me and laughed. He was eating popcorn and wanted to know if my tummy wanted some. Lol

      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!
