I had to drink 2oz every hour to keep from starving the first week. Some people are hungry the day after surgery. Good Luck

I'm 7 days post-op and still on clear liquids. I've been hungry since 2 days after my surgery. Know you're not alone! :wacko:

I feel your pain! I'm also a week out and cant wait to eat something that has a chance of sustaining me more than 40 min. My stomach gets in knots if I dont constantly put something in it. All I hear is constant gurgling followed by uncomfortable gas moving around.

I must not have gotten the same memo you got about Fluid consumption. I drink as much as I want all day long. I'll finished off a 20 oz protein&vitamin powder drink in 20 minutes. Everything goes right down the hatch and past the band. I can handle being hungry, but dehydration is a whole different animal. Its so interesting the lack of continuity between one doctor's methods for treatment to another. I still have pain everyday where the band is, but it's never been while or after I drank something. This is such a personal process and I'm grateful to read the stories from others and learn from them.

      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!
