How is this possible? It's just been 4 days since surgery! Uhg I better go to sleep before I make a mistake and eat something I shouldn't. This sucks. Maybe it's all in my head but I feel empty. I am drinking cranberry juice but it's not helping. Is anyone else experiencing this? I hope it's just not me?!

Stop drinking the juice add Water and crystal lite if you need flavor.

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and about day 4 or 5 it was like a light switch went off!!! i was hungry all the time. My dr prescribed a PPI (antacid like nexium) but my ins wouldn't pay b/c it was a solutab. So I went a good week or two with out the PPI. I called and told my dr the pharmacy never filled my rx so they called in normal doses. I just have to open the capsel and sprinkle it on sf pudding or yogurt. It has helped a lot. I took a few days for me to notice anything but i see a big difference in my hunger levels. Now I get hungry only around meal times. Also too, I read on here that it may take a few months for the hormone that creates hunger to diminish in your system. Don't worry, it should pass once you take nexium or something like it. the first week is the hardest. hang in there, it gets better i promise. I agree on the juice too...watch out for sugars.

I've been adding half Water to it though. I don't even taste the sugar. It's the only drink I am liking Uhg. I know this is just a tool to help us but gosh idk why I am feeling this way. I was fine at the hospital. But being home is making me sad and hungry

I was hungry since day one. It gets better when you can add real food. Even the eat,y foods like a scrambled egg and runny oatmeal. It helps. Soup made me happy too.

  • I am a little over 2 weeks out and I am hungry two. Still on liquids until Jan 9th. I am allowed yogurt & farina & strained Soups. It was tough over the holidays with company, sweets, good food, and now snowbound. But I thought the hunger monster would have been surgically removed, lol.

I would take something for acid. Most of that sensation is likely acid. Pepcid complete is what I take, much like eating a large sweet tart!

      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!
