6 months out. Still cant eat much!



Recommended Posts

I still live mainly on cream Soups n very mushy things. I do do things in the crockpot and pick at them all day to get something in. Even then it's no more than 3 bites at a time. I've lost almost 80lbs n 6 months. Anyone else?

I've lost 84 lbs in 5 months but I have no problem with my schedule and food. I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast and another one for dinner, eat one of the following as a snack: jell-o, chobani yog, low-fat string cheese, cottage cheese with fruit, low fat turkey Snacks or some trail mix, and have fish or chicken for lunch with either salad or steamed veggies. I always get more than 80g of Protein per day. I stay away from meat, I did not love it before surgery either, so I stick to mostly fish.

Maybe you have a stricture.....

Have you talked to your doctor about this? After six months it seems like you should be able to eat more than that. I am only about 3 weeks and I can eat more than you. I'd check to make sure you are getting enough and stay healthy. 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!
