Day 3 of post op and I am a hot mess!



Recommended Posts

Quite sure this is normal and hopefully not too much information. I am three days out and overall I do feel pretty good. But i still feel like there is a giant lump in the middle of my throat (not like I have to throw up although at some times it feels that way), had diarrhea this am and the site where the port is certainly hurts the most and overall I am just achy. Again, I am quite sure this is normal and have seen posts where people are far worse then I am, but never hurts to check. My dr pretty much has me on zero Protein for week 1 is that normal too?

All doctors are different. Both my doc and nutritionist had me on a minimum of 2 Protein Shakes per day since the day after surgery. Just do whatever he tells you.

      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!
