Hey everyone I was sleeved on Monday at 8 am...I'm still in the hospital due to the amount of pain I'm having...and the strokes hurt really bad...it does feel like everyone else said, like period cramps and a thousand sit ups that I wasn't ready for...I am so glad I had this forum so I knew about the cough pillow and gas x strips...they have saved me...the only thing in concerned with is I am weighing in at 10 l s more than I was when I got here

I weighed 9 pounds more when I came out of surgery than I did when I went into surgery. I think it's due to all the liquids they give you via IV. Sorry you are having so much pain and I hope for a speedy recovery for you. I am 6 days post op and feeling ok. Good luck and God bless.

I'm glad your doing ok. I gained two lbs being in hospital, but I lost 3 this morning, I am not getting in all my protien. Nothing taste good, the nectar makes me gag. I have a question? Is it ok to have the juice from pinto Beans. They smell so good and I'm starving

Hey try hitting the pain pump as much as you can before the walk, wait a few minutes and then walk it out.

Congrats!!! It gets better each day... Trust me!!! Just walk as much as you can.. and practice getting out of bed alone, if you're not already doing that... It definitely helped me prepare for moving around at home...Blessings and a speedy recovery...

      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'. ???

      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!
