Back Home And Adjusting



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I want to thank you for all the comments and prayers. So surgery went very well. The Dr was super impressed with how small my stomach was (yes I passed the prediet check). However, after surgery was a dofferwnt story. I was sleeved on Thursday morning and now back home (Sunday) and happy. But I must say those were some tough days in the hospital. They kept me because I could not keep anything down. My Nausia was super horrible and medications did not seem to work. I really turned a corner this morning and have not had the sensation to puke (thank goodness) but I am also not hungry at all. I do have really bad gas pains and seems to be getting better. Any suggestions on how to make sure I am getting enough full liquids in? I really want to do well but drinking anything makes me feel like I have heartburn and gas pain. Oh well I guess this is just the beginning and cannot wait for this to be over! I happy to join you all on the losers bench!! Good luck to everyone this week!

Welcome to the loser's bench!! :) I'm sorry you've had a rough week, but it sounds like you are moving forward. Just keep trying to sip and worry about Protein Drinks after you're able to get some Water in you. Walk a lot to help with the gas and it will help you recover quickly! :)

Congrats. Sorry you have a rough start. Hang in there it gets better. I couldn't get Water down but could other liquids like ice tea so try different things. I need to do better with Protein but I'm also never hungry. Heal quickly.

      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!
