Thanks guys!!!!

I was doing okay the night of, but I think it was because I was still doped up :P

Yesterday was pretty rough, lots of gas pain under my ribs and shoulders. I went for a walk but I think I pushed myself too far.

Today I'm doing a bit better but it still hurts to inhale and when I move around, better than yesterday though. Today I am able to drink clear fluids with a little less pain too. Still on gravol,codeine and tylenol.

Looking forward to getting back on my feet and back in to the swing of things!

Even though it hurts to inhale, MAKE yourself do big deep ones a couple times a day ,as well as some coughing. I know it sucks but its good for ya to help prevent pneumonia .

Glad ur surgery went well. Best of 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!
