Hello everyone, here we are 2 days post surgery - yesterday was rough to say the least, mostly because I had a migrane headache, possibly from anesthetic, and was zonked out most of the day on migrane meds. Tough, but today is much much better. I had a fairly easy surgery day on Monday, surgery at 7.30am and I was released and sent home at 6pm. I have two small incisions in my naval that are pretty tender and one at the base of my rib cage on the right hand side that doesn't hurt at all.

I am very surprised at how much I can drink - thought it would be minimal but I can drink a Protein drink or cup of broth with no problem. Planning on resting, keeping up with my fluid/protein intake and starting my food journal (plus maybe some wishful thinking window shopping) over the next few days.

So glad its over and the second part of this journey has begun. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I am excited that the worst and most risky part is over. I feel energized with optimism about the changes that are now going to take place in my life.

Will check back in over next few days! Thanks so much for everyone's good wishes, it certainly helped!!

Rachel

      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.

      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!
