Cranky and frustrated



Recommended Posts

I had my revision on June 6th. I haven't been able to get all my liquids in because it hurts and I have lots of gas. I am walking taking gas-x etc but nothing is really helping. I went to the doctor and everything is ok. She gave me a prescription dose of Pepcid to help with my hunger.

Right now I am at the mall so I could walk. I am cranky because my family is eating food and I can't. I am frustrated because I have lost only 7 pounds including preop. I know this phase will pass but I just want to feel better!

You just had MAJOR surgery-- 2/3 of your stomach removed ! Your body will not lose- your body is on WTF mode, lock down, don't even think I can heal without nutrition chapter. My kindest sent message is get off the scale, recuperate, don't break the rules, stop feeling sorry for yourself and embrace the new, exciting, wonderful life you have enabled yourself to have !! Its going to be so great, so wonderful and not everyone gets this opportunity. If you get hungry- more Protein, if you need to chew do so and SPIT IT OUT, rinse your mouth out with kitchen sprayer. Youu have to WANT this-- its not easy, its not fun and you have to change your mindset. You can do this !

      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.

      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!
