1-1/2 years post-op; food aversions, gas, bloating, digestive issues



Recommended Posts

306lbs., 09/11/14. 175 lbs., 03/11/16. yea! but, i current exhibit what seems like "morning sickness" all day until i can pass all the gas and clear the bowels. i am having difficulty drinking Water, and the mere sight of any food makes me want to puke. i'm also fatigued, lack much strength, suffer from depression. i found a frozen fruit/veggie bar (strawberry/rhubarb) that i can tolerate, half at a time; or a dollop of yogurt with slice banana/strawberry is of comfort.

anyone else have anything like this?

No, quite the opposite really. I am almost 1.5 years post op and can tolerate just about any food at larger quantities. I am much more careful about my food choices as compared to before surgery and it makes all the difference.

I'm sorry you are going through this. Are you still taking your bariatric Vitamins? How are your labs? Have you notified your bariatric doctor about your complications?

I do find that my energy is lacking on days that I don't get at least 100 grams of Protein. How much Protein are you consuming everyday?

labs are all pretty good; a little low on vit D, zinc, magnesium and potassium... i take supplements; we recheck next week.

i forgot to mention the "foamy gassy bubbles"... maybe a gut yeast?

if it matters, my age is 55.

thank you!

      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.

      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!
