I had my X-ray yesterday and it was all clear. I was able to see that I do have reflux during the X-ray. After seeing that it was all clear I went back to eating again with confidence but much slower now. It sucks eating slow but the throwing up is a lot worse. I am down 41 pounds over five weeks so it's really hard to complain. I miss eating regular food but it feels good to be down!

What were you guys eating after your 5th week? I want to try some new things and look forward to hearing any and all suggestions. Can we eat Peanut Butter?

** Glad to hear you know what in the world is going on. After reading your blog, I was like OMG, I am experiencing the same thing. I see my dr on Tuesday and may have to have an xray too. This is crazy. When was your surgery? Mine was on 5/17th. I so feel your story and hope that we both can soon be normal. It just does not work the same for everyone. Good luck.... =)

One more thing, I have not taken the Lansoprazole prevacid prescribed because I did not think I needed it... Tonight I just did 4 the 1st time after reading your story indentical to mine. Thanks!

How are you feeling now?

I am about 8 weeks out ... I can eat everything really, but like everyone else just not a lot. I stick to the Proteins first of course. I also feel I can consume more than others from what I have read but still a fraction of what I once did. I was on a stall from week 2 to 6 and that really was hard to deal with but tried not to stress it too much lol. I chalk it up to me losing a lot of weight pre surgery. Hope all goes well.

      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!
