Four days after surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

This is my 4th day after surgery and everyday I am feeling better. However, I am having trouble releasing gas and that makes me feel miserable. Any suggestions? It was a long journey to get to this point but it was worth it. I live in a small town in southeast Texas, 30 minutes from the border of Louisiana. I hope to make many friends and supporters and in return support others. My number one question at this moment is should I be feeling hungry? Confused?

Hi Ronnie. Congrats with your surgery! I just got approved and will have mine on the 13th. I've heard that walking and taking some of those Gas-X strips helps a lot with reducing the discomfort of gas pains. I hope you feel better soon. I know each day will get better and better for you. :001_cool:

Not sure how you mean, but I used a heat pack constantly for shoulder tip gas pains, and Gas-X for the gut wind pain issues.

Thanks Erika, I know you are so ready. It seemed to took a long time before my big day came, then all of a sudden it was here. I finally walked the gas off. Yeah! Everyday gets better and better. My prayers will go up for you on the 13th.

      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.

      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!
