Welcome. The week's following your surgery are the hardest. You're going to want solid food before your doctor says you are ready. It is very important that you follow your Dr's instructions even if they are different than others on here.

Thanks for the adivce, it has been hard especially wanting to eat, I thought I would not have any hunger pains, boy was I wrong. The gas pain and shoulder is craaaazy!! But today is much better, trying to get my protien in and Water. Another question, I bought this liquid Vitamins at all natural and vegan, but! it is very green and has particuls, which I am sure is great but don't think I ready to drink that. Any recommendations on how I can get my vitiamns with over the counter products???

Thanks for the help.

I bought Centrum chewables. My doctor said you could also take two children's gummys or chewables.

I am 11 days post-op. I take chewable vitamins as well; can't handle the liquid. The gas pains were really the only pains I had, but they were bad for about a week. Keep with the diet your doc recommended & you will be surprised and motivated by the weight you lose! Good luck!

      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!
