I am seeing my Doctor today for my 6 weeks post op. I am down 44 lbs, on solids and doing well. Although, I always like to come in with a list of questions to ask when i see any doctor. Here is m list, can you thinkof anything else to ask? What did you ask?

1) I am not on any heartburn, PPI (?) medicine, why not?

2) I 'feel' like I get really hungry after the 1st hour I eat, is this really hunger or is it gas or just acid? What can help if it is not hunger, Tums, a PPI (?)?

3) I want him to look at my food journal, it appears I am taking in eual parts protien, fats (I eat a lot of avocados), and carbs. I am eating complex crbs in foods, not simple, white empty carbs. Should I be concerned about this? What should my ratio be?

Any other thoughts to add? Any questions will be greatly appreciated!

You have a great list! I am curious if your doc /place of surgery has a nutritonist availabe too. "Sometimes" a doctor is so vague, but a nutrionist really gets in depth, espeically your questions about carbs, complex carbs, etc.. There has been chatter back & forth regarding the carb aspect, some of us count and watch carbs and some of us do not. Some docs mention it and some dont...

Wishing you well :D

      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'. ???

        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!
