Still emotional, but I made it through. Home now, having trouble meeting my liquid and Protein goals, but working on it. Hope everyone else is doing well that got banded this week.

I am two days out also. Feeling the gas pains a lot worse today. I'm still on only Clear liquids until tomorrow so I've only averaged 150 calories yesterday and with the track I'm on today I think I'll end up the same.

I am excited to move into full liquids tomorrow and start getting the Protein I need in

Hang in there' date=' the first couple days are rough but it gets a lot easier relatively quickly. You'll be amazed how "normal" you'll feel again within a matter of days.

Ditto this! I'm on postoperative day 8 and I feel awesome! A week ago... Not so much! Hang in there!

try to keep the gas controlled and take lazitive to get that out of there it will help so much...heating pad is a life saver. This part is the worst and we are all there for you..sleep rest, sip as much as possible. I ate a ton of cream Soup made with Water and of course made my own broth so there was a lot of flavor...you can do this

thanks everyone! You're kind words mean a lot. It so hard some days, people stare at you for having a liquid diet, yesterday one of the nurses aides laughed at my meal they served cause it was pureed chicken with gravy. I'm just overly sensitive, which I never am sensitive, I guess cause it's such a big change. I hit my liquid intake today. so that's good. Thanks again, you guys are the best!

      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!
