Yes you really should go by what your doctor hs told you. Every doctor is diff on what they allow you to have. I have seen where people were on liquids for six weeks to eating soft foods first wk

"I've had lots of NSV's (from a size 22 to an 18)."

"Im trying to focus on the NSVs but I sympathize with your frustration."

Sorry to be so dense....but still can't figure out what NSV is! :)

Non scale Victory (i.e. lost inches, looser clothing). I could go on all day with this!

Hello;

I'm four days out and feeling pretty hungry. Anyone feel similar?

Take an anti acid it can cause feelings of hunger or drink more Water being dehydrated can give you a signal of hunger but its actually dehydration.

I am tired of reading about how hunger is just in our head. I appreciate you on the boards Amazon, but sometimes ya gotta let others be different than you. :)

Some wake up from surgery and are never hungry again. Some are hungry after a year or two. Some are starving a week into it.

I'm going to say that (for now) I'm stinkin hungry. It could be acid but I've been on this Dang antacid for 5 or so days now and I'm really not noticing much of a difference. This feeling comes and goes just like hunger did before. I'm pretty sore I've read that it can take a month or so for all or the grehlin hormone to leave our bodies as well.

I just hate seeing newbies come here saying they are hungry only to be shot down. It's true that some people REALLY ARE hungry after sirgery.

(Hugs for the hungries)

I am two months out and get hungry !!!!

This is not like before I might add. ;). I just get hungry NOT ravenous so this is nice! I agree with a poster about acid or need for more fluids

I eat about 600-650 calories now. Before I was about 4-500 for the last few weeks. I get on treadmill about 4-5 times per week or do Pilates.

So everyone will be different. Good luck guys! Our journey will be successful ;)

      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.

        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!
