4 days post op



Recommended Posts

I am four days post op. I am very happy about the decision I made. I am a petite woman- 5 feet tall but I weighed 218 pounds . That was the largest I had ever weighed. I found the first few days alittle tough. The worse thing for me was the bad backaches I had. I suffer from back spasms so after I was placed into recovery, it was bad. A few days after my surgery was the worst. I guess that saying it gets worse before better is true for me. Four days in, I am still sore but I feel good. I got dressed and put makeup on! I went to my friend Alicia"s house and weighed myself and I am down 7 pounds!!!! I can see it in my face! This has been a blessing for me that I cannot take advantage of. I cannot find myself reverting back to those old habits. For the first time in days, my stomach actually growled. It is no where but down for me!!!

      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!
