I am starting to hate food. Nothing I can eat tastes that great! I made 2 recipes (ricotta bake and buffalo chicken) and they both made me sick. I think I am going back to full liquids for a few days. I can't believe this but the thought of any food right now makes me ill!

best thing to do is take a step back.. Your stomach just might not be ready to move up yet.. Also take it very slow with very small amounts.

Not a big fan here, either. I have to force myself to eat and while things taste ok, actually swallowing the food is a chore. It's mental and physical. I'll get there, I'm sure and you will, too.

I am 7 mos out and I have to force and remind myself to eat, still! If I didn't I could go all day without eating and that is not good!

I'm with you 100%!!!! Solid foods have caused me so much discomfort that I rather not eat. I've wasted so much food it's ridiculous. I know I'm not getting eating enough Protein as I only eat select poultry and fish. Going back to those Protein shakes is not an option, I gag at the thought. I tried making smoothies and adding Protein powder but drinking through a straw causes air in my stomach which is painful.

Despite all the above I have no regrets just learning to adjust to life with a new stomach.

I'm not a fan of food anymore either and I'm sad:( I love food and I still think about it, want it. I look at blogs of food I can eat soon (I call it food porn, hee hee). But then I eat and I'm like, ehhh not so wonderful. I tried the ricotta bake and that was the closest I've been to liking something. But I don't enjoy anything like before. I keep telling myself it's because I'm only 2 weeks out and I will eventually enjoy food again. Otherwise I get depressed.

I'm 7 1/2 months out and this still comes and goes for me. Right around 6 months is when eating really began to not be such a pain for me. And still now I have days where 500 calories feels fine but I know it's not I need to get at least 800 or I won't lose any weight. Just keep at it and introduce gentle foods first. Good luck

      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.

        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!
