restrictions after surgery



Recommended Posts

So I had surgery last wed. And I was able to progress to soft foods yesterday then solids today. Ny dr told my parents he did do alittle bit of a fill during surgery. But I don't rly feel any restrictions instead I feel a sharp pain in my right side. Is this normal or wat could it be?

Wow, solids after 1 week is really fast. I am still on full liquids and can feel restriction. My band is empty.

All doctors are so different! I don't get soft foods until week 6.

All doctors are different. My doctor had me on Clear Liquids for 3 days, then Protein Shake and full liquids from 3 days post-op to about 2 weeks post op. Then I was able to move on to soft foods. Maybe your body isn't ready for soft foods. Do you have that discomfort when you have liquids/protein shakes?

Your port is on your right upper abdominal area and is usually the slowest to heal. This might be the cause of your soreness.

I'm sry my pain is in my left side its only after I eat. But then a few minutes ago I noticed when I burped a tiny bit of food came up with it so I think the discomfort is prolly from eating so tomorrow I'm gonna just do liquids and give my body more time to recover even tho my dr said I could eat. Thanks

ya that seems fast for even soft foods. my doc requires a week of clears, then a week of full liquids, then soft foods. but like someone already said, theyre all different. Hope youre feeling better :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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.
