Congrats! I was released yesterday afternoon and can I just say... OUCH!!! One question for all of you post opers' date=' how long did you stomach gurgle and hurt with even tiny sips of Water? It hurts so bad to drink![/quote']

The gurgling took about a week and the pain/weird feeling when swallowing took a little over a week. It gets better everyday!

Gurgling is decreasing slowly - although as soon as my intestines started working again they jumped into the gurgling too, now I am just a symphony of weird digestive noises all day. Pain was gone pretty much after day 3 or 4 except when I take too big of sips.

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely forcing myself to walk, take deep breaths with my incentive spirometer, and get my Fluid in.

I started my liquids an hour ago and I'm having the same issue. Water goes down, and a painful air bubble comes up. Hopefully it's only temporary!

I would try apple juice or crystal light. They say the composition of Water will do that sometimes. I am having a difficult time with water as well. The nutritionist consult I attended pre-op warned that might happen, apparently it is very normal.

      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!
