Things are going well. But I am wondering how long the blue dye remains in system? I am still urinating blue - I feel like a smurf! :thumbup1:

While I can't answer the question, I had to laugh at you being a smurf. Thanks for the heads up that this doesn't go away on the first day. I won't worry when it happens to me! :thumbup1:

I noticed because they pulled my catheter early due to spasms. It started off royal blue and gradually changed over several days to shamrock green.

LOL ... I am at a pale green now. I guess it's true what I learned in first grade - yellow and blue make green. So, now instead of Smurfett, I am the Green Hornet. :thumbup:

Most people talk about the blue diarrhea. It's so strange, but really common.

Mini-Me ~ you are so funny!

It is strange how some people have blue dye in their urine like you, some don't have hardly any at all (like me), and others have blue stools.

...especially for you and I...same surgeon...same procedure...same day...TOTALLY different smurfett response!

Wow, smurfy pee. I don't remember experiencing this, but I had so many problems with nausea immediately following my surgery, I was probably concentrating more on not passing out than anything else.

      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!
