Yes. I would love to keep in touch for support' date=' to track progress and stay motivated.

I wishi could drink like you are. I'm dying. Lol. Good thing the liquid diet has prepared my body for this fast.

My port site is Extra sensitive as well. But I'm trying not to concentrate on that. Staying positive will help us heal faster ;) i hope you get comfortable and plenty of rest. :)[/quote']

Well I am very sore today! It's hard getting in and out of bed. When I stand up, I'm ok. Been sipping all day. My dr recommends 1 oz every five minutes, so my beside has coconut Water, premier Protein, almond milk, Metamucil mixed in some Water and plain water. I'm trying my best to get it all down. I get full after 2 sips!! Lol!

Think I'm gonna go for a short walk later to get this gas moving. Haven't been nauseated at all. I have 5 incisions and they're all sore, so can't say if where port is any sorer. :-/

Well happy recovery to u...

Oh why can't u drink??

I couldnt drink until I did a swallow test with radiology. I finally got in around noon. That was almost a whole day since surgery. So I have just barely started drinking. I just left the hospital today also. So it was nice to recover in there a Lil longer.

So I didn't have any gas problem's until after I started sipping my Clear Liquids this afternoon and WHOA. This gas is killer. Lol. I had a few extra sips of my broth when I got home and I think I sipped too much. Lol. I feel so full. Thats nice to know the band is working. :)

The incision sites r painful and the gas makes it that much more painful. But the loratab elixur helps with the pain. I can't wait to be back to normal. I want to start working out again. I'm trying to have my skin bounce back as much as possible but I think I will still need a Tummy Tuck when I reach my goal weight which is 100 lbs from what I am now.

In bed at home now resting while I can smell my husbands and kids yummie dinner. PIZZA!!! Lol. No fair. My sister says "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"but after smelling all this food I'm not so sure about that. Ha ha. Jk.

Thanks for the liquid ideas. I have just been doing water and broth. I need to add some variety to my regime. Especially the Fiber drink. Hope that gas subsides soon. Let me know how you feel tomorrow. Hopefully better then today.

      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!
