My mom passed almost 2 weeks ago. I'm drinking enough but my appetite is horrible. I had a boiled egg yesterday. Those of you that have suffered the death of a loved when will I get my appetite back? Back on the treadmill tomorrow. Maybe that'll help?

I am so sorry for your loss. It is tough to deal with for sure.

It surely is different for everyone. When we lost our son I was just detached from life in general for about 3 months (and gained my final 30lbs). It took a full 6 months to shake the worst of the depression. I never had the lack of appetite, but it was before the Sleeve for me. I guess now I would just not care to eat too...

At the least have a Protein Drink or 2 daily so you are getting in some nutrients and Protein.

I'm sure a hug would be welcome right now, so here's one comin' at you...hug.....

I can't tell you when your appetite will return. Like liannatx said, everyone has there own timing. So make sure you get the essentials, and your fluids, for sure. Don't overdo with the exercise, especially if you aren't getting in the Protein and fluids. But you know that.

Nothing can rush the grieving period, you'll know the answer to that when it comes. Ask for peace, and you will have it. With that peace comes all you will need for the moment. Our prayers are with you, and you are NOT alone.....

I'm so very sorry you lost a child. How very heartbreaking.

I finally ate yesterday. Some friends took me grocery shopping and took me to dinner. I could only eat a couple bites but that's progress! Thank you both for your kind words and prayers. It means so much, hugs.

      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.

        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!
