I'm leaving for the hospital in 10 minutes. My surgery is scheduled for 5:30 am. I'm ready to start healing and look forward to something besides a liquid diet in a few weeks.

Good luck I am sure you'll do great and enjoy your morphin pump I know I did.. I sleep great that first night next was good two but you know...

Also I worried about liquid after surgery but honestly i was so un interested mentally in eating it didn't bother me. Nothing really has. Just drink your Protein and try the unjury chicken Soup if your hospital has it, I ordered that for every meal while in I could stand even the sweetness of sugar free stuff, I drank my Soup and ate ice all day. Congrats it is the best hospital stay aide from becoming a new mom

Thanks for all the good wishes. Things went well and I am home. I didn't expect to be this sore. I'm on my first day of liquids and can't get enough in.

4mydogs,

Wishing you the best in recovery. I'm right there with you in the recovery process. I have felt a little sore. My biggest problem has been gas; but praise the good Lord I had no gas issues during the last night--so I'm seeing little improvements each day. Right before I went into surgery,I asked my doc about Protein this week--both he & the NUT said not to worry about it this week. Please keep posting your recovery & I'll post mine.

      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!
