Sure I am guessing alot of us understand the way you are feeling. But its what you signed up for. I know I would have to be on liquids for 4 weeks (2 pre op and 2 post op) and then move to mushies for a week. I didnt like it but its what had to be done for a successful surgery and the proper healing of my band. Its mind over matter... it wont last forever.

I know that sounds like I am being uncompassionate but its the truth. You CAN get through this and when its over you should have a nice loss to kick start your journey and you body will have the time to heal that it needs.

I dont know what stage you are in but if your are on Clear Liquids... lots of chicken broth (sodium free) will help as do sugar free popsicles.

Best of luck!

What did your Dr. recommend. I had to be liquids for a week, mushies for a week, then gradually into normal food. You need to follow the recommendations at this point, it's very important. You are not supposed to eat solid foods, you do not want to shift your newly placed band. Your stomach is swollen and solids most likely will not go down. If you end up stuck and throw up it could be a real problem. Ya, you probably feel week. You just had major surgery 2 days ago. Drink Drink Drink.

Good Luck!

I'm on full liquids for 30 days. I set my regular food date on my phone, in case I forget what day it is.lol Nov 16th! I got a eating schedule from Dr and I do follow that.

I would def try to get your Protein shakes in. If you don't get in Protein, your body starts robbing your muscles.

I'm not having as big a problem as many I read about, b/c I have been dieting for 7mths so I have no sugar or carb withdrawal. That's all I can figure anyway!

Best wishes on your journey!

      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.

        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!
