6 weeks out and hungry



Recommended Posts

I am a little over six weeks post op. I am hungry all the time. I am not getting enough Protein. 20-40 grams a day.

I am losing weight I just feel like I am eating all the time. I am using my fitness pal and staying around 1000 calories. I am just worried I will stretch my tummy out

Any one else experiencing this?

If you are eating 1000 calories and only getting up to 40 grams of Protein, I really encourage you to rethink your food choices. Eat more protein rich foods and less carbs and you will stay fuller longer ;)

I know teh feeling sometime smy emotional eater wants to come out. Fluids help quite my stomach down but then sometimes I just don't eat enough and need some more food. I'm 5 weeks out and still learning how to eat properly ,its hard.

Odds are if you would get enough Protein you wouldn't feel hungry. 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!
