The back pain sounds normal. I had it also. I went to the doctor yesterday for my one week post op visit and he said that it was fine. There may still be some gas trapped. Walk and take Mylanta chews. That should do the trick. Good luck.

Congrats to you! I didn't have back pain, but many do and it's normal. Concentrate on Water first, Protein, and Vitamins. As for an app for logging, most of us use My Fitness Pal. Do a search on this site and you'll find tons of info. Speedy recovery to you!

I use myfitnesspal.com I have to take 4 optisource Vitamins a day and I'm not good at remembering them. (seriously this will be tmi but I'm tired of orange pee and orange Water coming out of both ends). I also have lower back pain, which I have never had before, I use an ice pack and that seems to help. Walk, sip, take Gas X and it will help. It's a good idea to start keep tracking of liquids, Protein etc. 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.

      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!
