Oh my Gosh that was me. I had a hernia repair too & I felt the same way I just stayed on liquids until that nausea passed. I'm 4/12 weeks out. It will go away in time I would eat lots of sugar free Popsicles & cold stuff.

I am scheduled for july 2. I have to have a h. hernia repair as well. Does this significantly increase the recovery time and make for more pain? I am just curious as to what I should expect. Also, as for a grocery list...what will I need from the store to keep me full???

This info. is good to know I am 1 week out and I had a hernia removed as well. I have not experienced a great deal of nausea yet. Of course I still have a week on the full liquids. Popsicles are very satisfying for me as well.

I had a surprise h.hernia repair thrown in with my sleeve, lol. I don't think it increased recovery time. My biggest hurdle was the incision that my surgeon said he had to cut a muscle to pull stomached through. But it's been two weeks today and it feels pretty good, virtually no discomfort.

Attached is my food progression list my surgeon wants me to follow.

Today I had oatmeal, only ate a 4th of the packet. I also had bake potato today, was only able to eat a 4th of that also. Both things sat well in my new stomached.

I'm looking forward to tuna Fish Day!!! Lol

From what I understand... when the doctors go in to do the sleeve... they are repairing the hernia that already exists. A hiatus hernia or hiatal hernia is the protrusion (or herniation) of the upper part of the stomach into the thorax through a tear or weakness in the diaphragm.

Is that something that happened pre-surgery? Is that from GERD or something. How on earth would you know you had that?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
