You should call your surgeon. You do not want to get dehyrdated. It is not fun. Your body needs that Protein and hydration to heal a large wound (your stomach). Good luck to you.

let your surgeon's office know how you are feeling! dehydration is not a good thing. I could not drink the required 64oz but I was able to get 32oz in plus the Protein Drinks (16oz) SF pops, 2oz yogurt or Jello or pudding. Really hope you feel better...

I was the same way. I could drink about 1/2 of a Water bottle a day. I did not have any Protein or Vitamins for the first 3 weeks. Doctor said to keep trying the Protein powders. Nobody wanted to believe that the smell of that stuff made me want to vomit. Greek yogurt does too.

So for all those weeks I felt like a big pile of crap. Then suddenly at 4 weeks when I was able to eat regular food it all got better like overnight. It will get better!

I'm 4 weeks out, trying pureed foods, always make me nauseated. having a very hard time getting my Water in. cant quite figure out the schedule I should be on. When to take my pills, when to take my Protein, when to drink...I don't like how my stomach feels. Cant wait until this stage is over.

      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!
