6 Weeks Post Surgery



Recommended Posts

I am 6 weeks post surgery. Everything healed well, but I have lost my appetite. I am still not on fresh fruit and vegetables or fiberous meats, but nothing is tasting good. My appetite was fine a week ago and I was actually looking forward to the new types of food I could eat at 5 weeks, but it is gone. I can eat 2 bites of something and next time I think about eating it, it makes me nauseated. Is this the after affects of anesthesia? or is this something that you experience from the surgery? Any ideas?

I am 4 weeks out and feel similar. I have no desire to eat at all. When I force myself to eat, it is only a few bites and thats it. I am trying to stick to calorie dense proteins(chicken, Jerky cut up small) to get in as many calories as I can. I also drink the low cal G2 gatoraide to get some carbs for energy.

thank you so much! It sounds like not very many people experience this. I am going to try to get some gatoraide, see if that helps.

I am only a week out and I am experiencing something similar. Nothing tastes good. I am hoping this is temporary because it will make getting my fluids and Protein in very difficult.

      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!
