3 days post op!



Recommended Posts

Well today is my 3rd day since surgery and I am starting to feel a little better. Fortunately, I did not have issues with gas pains although I took a the Gas-x strip anyway. My main isssue has been soreness-but that's getting better too. Getting all my liguids in has been a real effort since I get that sensation that I need to stop. I haven't been real hungry-butthe bacon that my daughter is cooking right now does smell good! lol

We have been invited to a friends BBQ-no one there knows about my surgery. The only person that knows at this point is my hubby, but I eventually tell my daughters (19 & 24). ANyway I have mixed feelings about the BBQ-part of me wants to get out of the house. The other part thinks it might be too soon after surgery. I won't be able to eat at all-we told them I have a stamach virus which isn't a complete lie since I have Gastretious (sp). I guess I'll take a shower and see how I feel.

Don't push it too much. You might feel okay pain wise but you may be weak still. If you get tired or shaky, take it easy.

      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.
