Junk Food Cravings



Recommended Posts

Something that made me feel better, it might help all of you that have had or might run into this problem. I for a long time and still to this day have a real hard time eating. I have tried a ton of stuff and gone a day or two without eating at all. There was a day when it was going on day three and everything but the bathtub cam back. I was hungry and weak. So I grabbed a few chips. I know it was wrong, but I was really honestly getting so sick I had to try something. Low and behold they stayed down! I only needed a few. I of course had to stop myself from making myself get rid of it. Not because it hurt, but because I didnt want to risk my weightloss. Seems I'm paranoid about gaining anything back. I force myself to eat now, because I found myself at one point being proud of not having to eat for two days. Sounds stupid, but it's honesty and I am a straight shooter with people. So I go to the doc and tell him about this little problem with the chips. Ready to sink into my seat, he looks at me and says " you know Erin, I have heard that many times!" he then looks at my eating habits and goes on to tell me, if I am not getting at least 600 cals a day, then he wants me to eat anything that will stay down. They really push the 600 rule. So there are days when I can't eat, because I feel so sick, I'll grab a handful and eat three to five. Still brings me nowhere near the target, but it helps. I don't really crave them anymore, but I can't let myself starve until the little a**hole that my new pouch can be says okay you can eat now. I know I'll never let myself go back to bad habits because I just don't want those things like that anymore.

      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!
