I cracked a rib last week from fainting when I was sick and dehydrated. Now I'm on pain meds and just laying around. I've been doing good since I had my surgery in Aug I've lost 60 lbs. Today I grazed all day for the first time and it scared me. I don't want to revert back to old ways. Support needed please!!

I just sleep. it sounds lazy but when I was sick I would just sleep as much as I can. I'd rather do that than eat.

another weird trick (works for me at least) brushing my teeth often. I think it's because I hate the taste of toothpaste and food so it helps.

nothing scientific, just my 2 cents.

good luck!

and force yourself to drink that Water :-)

I do the brushing my teeth thing too. But that's because the floride makes me feel funny and I can't eat because of it.

I cracked a rib last week Sunday! I had a hysterectomy 2 weeks prior to that and tripped on a load of laundry. I was counting the days left after having my hysterectomy to being able to exercise and now this! Now I added a few more weeks to my recovery, so I definitely know how you feel! I don't take pain meds, but I think if I did I would prefer to sleep the weeks away. Lol... A lot of Water seems to help me. I'm not extremely hungry because I'm kind of nauseous from the pain. I've been reading and on my I pad a lot to distract me. I have also went through my old bills and shredded things I no longer have to save. I think keeping your mind and hands busy is important! We can get through this, it's just a hiccup! Good Luck!

I've been reading and knitting maybe I'll put a before pic on the fridge to remind me of my goal. Thanks I hope you feel better too.

      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!
