O week one is ok, I have heart burn a lot and gas yet gas x is not working, going to doctor tomorrow. I have only lost 4kg since surgery! I thought it would go quicker! I had lost most of that 3 days before surgery on the liquid diet. So I wish I can lose more! Maybe next week for week 2.

Have you been walking? If it's surgical gas, then walking is the only thing that will relieve it, Gas-X won't. There is also a lot of swelling and a lot of extra fluids we are given during surgery. It can take time for the swelling to go down and fluids to leave, so some people take more than others to lose all that extra weight from surgery. Hang in there!! Good luck with your appointment.

Yes I am walking not doing too much more then that! Passing gas lots but I have no issues eating and so I will have some soft food, like I had some mash potatoes here. But not losing any weight And I thought I would be by now!

      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.

        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!
