I’m like - I can not beleive I did this—- why did I do this to still be hungry!

I totally understand, my surgery was on the 13th of June and I too could not understand why I was so hungry. I'm more hungrierthan I have ever been in my life, but it will eventually go away as you are able to eat food, I still growl, I just wanna feel normal again.

I’m new to posting, but I’ve been lurking for a while. I had my sleeve surgery on the 26th. Surgeon said it was a simple procedure with no complications. Liver looked good, no hernia needing repair. I had horrible luck with my IVs (both were infiltrated), my anxiety and BP were pretty high and I ended up with bad muscle spasms in my back and neck, but I’m a week out and feeling mostly normal. I’ve lost 12lbs and I seem to be tolerating everything okay (knock on wood).

I was hoping everybody was ok. Haven’t heard from anybody in awhile. I’m now eating salmon, grilled nuggets from Chick-fil-A and shaved turkey. I was kind of fatigued for a few days but I upped my liquid intake and really started taking those 4 Vitamins and it’s made a difference. Hope everybody is still hanging in there. We got this y’all, we did this as I’m assuming last resort now let’s make sure we make it count. Keep it up everybody. I’m sure it will get easier and easier just hang in there.

Yeah today was the first time I literally woke up without having a headache it was scaring me I ended up at the emergency room again because my head just wouldn't stop hurting so today was the first time I just upped my food a little bit more in trying to put in a little bit more liquid and today was the first time I woke up without a headache.

I had my first post-op appointment yesterday. My surgeon told me to just keep following the stages on the handout and scheduled my next appointment for three weeks from now.

He told me to go ahead and start eating eggs and other foods that I could smash with a fork (that was kinda broad, but I know what he meant, lol) when y'all make your eggs, do you add anything extra to them to make them softer? Usually when I make a scrambled egg, I'll use butter and heavy cream to get them fluffy, but I know that neither are a go right now.

Y'all don't know how appreciative I am to have this group to be able to interact with people that are going through the same things I am.

Thanks for your help!

Glad to see another Texan here that had the surgery around the same time that I did! I also lost around 12lbs after the surgery, I'm assuming that it's normal?

Glad everything went smooth for you.

I use whole milk cottage cheese in my eggs & shredded cheese. I cook it right with the eggs. I had VSG June 1st & I can still only eat about half an egg

(Before anyone comes at me for using WHOLE milk dairy, I've been okay'd to do so because my body tolerates it & I'd rather have real fat then fake forever chemicals in my body from the low flat crap, it's my health journey, feel free to do as you please with yours.)

I also like adding Avocado to my eggs & I eat cottage cheese & Avocado with salt & pepper every single day. It's my lunch & I love it. So yummy! You can also mix cottage cheese with canned fruit (no skins) I love Peaches. Very delicious 😋

I was soooo hungry 2 wk PO! I couldn't understand & was very disheartening.. I had buyers remorse, but it faded in a week or 2. I am 5 weeks PO now, down 32 lbs & have to force myself to eat & drink. My appetite is usually sleeping but wakes up around dinner I will get a hankering for a type of food, lately has been steamed veggies & chicken. Yuuum!

It will get easier, day by day, stay positive, stay thankful for this tool & make small goals that lead to the larger ones! Best of wishes

      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!
