Try yogurt or cottage cheese. try smaller bites,I use a baby spoon and eat slow.I had my surgery Nov.22,2016. I'n still on soft foods til Drs appt Friday. If you can't get food down the Dr needs to check for stricture.

Hi! I'm new to the app and still learning to navigate around but I want to know all I can before my surgery ! Do you feel full with the new stomach or do you still have the cravings just can't eat it?

I feel full when I eat. There are lots of cravings at the beginning, or at least I did. There's a big difference between head hunger and actual hunger, which you will learn to navigate.

Yeah you may have a narrowing. I'd talk to your surgeon's office about getting an EGD. I have one Tuesday

      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!
