I had mine on the 20th too. Felling better each day. My left shoulder does hurt a little. But mainly it is the incisions that hurt mostly when I amgetting up from a sitting/ lying down position. I need to go out and get my family gifts and mycar oil changed, not sure if I want to do it today or give one more day before I brave the stores since I am still uncomfortable.

Unfortunately I have not been getting my Protein since surgery. I figure that will get better when I can start full liquids and the earliest I can do that is Saturday.

Fay- make sure ur either deep breath in, cough, let it out or using an incentive spirometer- breathing device that measures how deep ur breaths are, pain in lungs can be Fluid and if ur not breathing in deep enough air can't get to the bottom of ur lungs and help move that fluid out, = penumonia, yuck! I know it hurts, hold a small pillow to ur abd and every hr 10 times breath in as deep as u can and let it out. IF it feels like a finger size space, not just hurting to breath deep, more like it hurts right there and only there you need to call ur doc NOW, could be a PE from a clot after surgery. Good luck with everything, here's to a new us!! :)

      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.

      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!
