Are you taking small sips or gulps? It might be gas also, after I drink I walk around the house to lose the bloated feeling and it goes away. Btw I'm 6 days post.

I also had trouble getting used to small drinks instead of large gulps so I bought a sippy cup to train myself. :)

It really did help I also bought the toddler dish with the little spoon and fork. I felt silly at first being so large with tiny silverware but it really helped with Portion Control and the size of bites I was taking because not much fits on a baby spoon!!

Also Gas-x helps with bloating. this gets better over time but in the beginning mine was really bad. Learning to eat and drink takes time.

      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!
