Food harder to tolerate



Recommended Posts

8 weeks out and I’m starting to force myself to eat

I do get hungry but i don’t want to eat 😣 and I don’t want anything else with Protein it. No Protein Shake no protein Snacks

They’re all becoming disgusting and hard to eat 🤢

Food…i take 2-3 bites and I’m tired of it. Put it in fridge to never be seen again

Yes this is a thing, I found it so wasteful. It seemed like all my very favourite foods before surgery were no go foods to me. Humous and salmon are still yuck foods to me. I have just started to eat eggs, avocado and pork.

Feeling never hungry is also a thing, we all give ourselves a set time to eat each meal. My meals were tiny so I had 5 or 6 a day and a glass of milk. You will get very weak if you don't get enough nutrition, forcing ourselves to eat is a strange thing that I never had before

It does get better, just give it time

I know this sounds weird, but enjoy it while it lasts - because it doesn't last for the vast majority of us. Sometime during the first year after surgery your hunger will come back, and it makes things a lot harder. I wish I was one of the lucky few whose hunger never came back. It was so easy to lose weight when I was never hungry and didn't give a flip about food!

      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!
