I had my surgery on 3/28/12!!

Makes me 3 days post-op

And I feel just fine. I had no pain after surgery, they removed the morphine by Thurs. I have very little-to no discomfort and am able to drink my liquids per day. I am very grateful for such a great recovery session

I'm just a bit confused

I don't know when I should be drinking. I literally feel like I'm drinking all day long!

For example today

830am-cup of tea

Between 915-11 drinking Water

1130-Protein

I mixed 16oz of water with 2 1/2 scoops of whey Protein

I am still drinking that

And at 1230-broth

I am able to keep everything down no problem

I'm still w the protein from this morning

Is this normal??

I feel like a need a time line

Any suggestions?

hey kiddo, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

as far as drinking, you are doing absolutely terrific.

Many people would be jealous of your liquid accomplishments. you are supposed to drink as much as you can ALL DAY, Protein mix, Water, broth, popsicles. You are doing great.

you having no pain, great recovery - be happy for yourself.

good luck til your next stage. If everything goes as well as above - i see smooth sailing for you. Congratulations

best

      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!
