Hey all. Things are still going really well and I really appreciate all of your support. To those of you vets, I have a couple days a week where food sounds icky and I end up back on Protein Shakes and mushies. Just wondering if this is something others experience and does it go away? I got some herbal tea to see if starting my day with that would help, but we'll see. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Yeppers happened to me. food lost all appeal, and I really did struggle with eating around 2.5-3.5 month mark. I kept talking to Daisy about options, and talked to my surgeon as well, but I had to stay on mushies because it's the only way I could hit my Protein goals in a day. It was temporary, but it was frustrating.

Yep. I was sleeved a week before you and I have those days, too. I figure it's all good as long as I get my Protein in.

I just vomitted for the first time since surgery. Over a piece of toast with Peanut Butter on it of all things. Guess my tummy didn't like the peanut butter. Anyway, I am going to do the shakes today because I don't want to upset my stomach.

Some days, time just gets away from me and it's 12 pm and I have had nothing to eat. It's those days where I miss my Protein goal. And I refuse to eat another Protein Drink.

It's 7 weeks out and for the most part, unless I am totally bored, food is an afterthought now. It's just not what makes me excited anymore.

      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.

        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!
