At what week did you notice you could eat the most and then it stopped - meaning how much can you eat and what week did you notice your stomach fully healed?

Not quite sure what you mean but I don't think it is possible to know your stomach is fully healed since it is aLL on the inside. My surgeon said 6 weeks for healing. As for eating more, I can't remember, however today at 6.5 mths I still have days where I can eat more than others. Don't know why but I just do the best I can to meet my goals.

I guess I'm just wondering when I will know my stomach's "permanent" (I use this loosely) limit. By what week for example

So, I don't know each day how much I will eat. As I said before, some days I can eat more than others. Each day I work on getting Protein in and can do that. My surgeon said that overtime I can expect 3/4 cup food max. As of now 1/2 cup max is it for me. We are all different so it is hard to pinpoint.

I don't think you get your true capacity until about the one year mark.

I could eat more at 3 months, then 6 months, and then at 12 months. My capacity from 12 to 18 hasn't changed.

      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!
