3 months post op help



Recommended Posts

Hello friends

I am now three months post op and down 50 pounds since my surgery. My trouble is lately I have no desire to eat or drink anything it is a struggle daily to get in Protein and fluids. This only started happening in the last week.

Any suggestions as to why or what I can do to break through this funk I am in? I know I need to eat and drink more but I just don't feel like it

Work up an appetite with exercise. I am always wanting a good Protein based meal after a good workout.

I am working out at least four times a week and it doesn't increase my appetite at all... Just drink a little more but that's it

Same problem here... I have *no* appetite ever since my surgery and I am 3 months out as well. I do like TammyDTM suggested & exercise then easy a high Protein meal. I also find if my drinks are ice, ice cold it is easier for me to get them down. I fill 2 Water bottles with SF flavored water & one Protein Drink the night before. Stick them in the fridge & they are cold for the next day. I buy Quest Protein Bars & some protein 'chips' and sometimes these are my meal. They are really small portions & help me reach my protein goal for the day.

You may be in a rut with your meal choices. Trying different spices or some new recipes. Wake up your taste buds with variety, that works for me. 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!
