Recommended Posts

I'm home everyone! Came home on the 10th, Surgery was a success, and all week i have been tired. I just am trying to focus on getting my Water in. I've been sleeping so much and it's so hard to get the water in, but I've been up today, drinking my water and doing a lot of walking, so it's helping.

Just checking in-how is everyone doing? I have surprisingly little pain, just some twinges here and there but have no energy. I am getting in my fluids and Protein. I need to stop weighing myself because I haven't lost a pound this week-I lost 9 between Tuesday and Sunday then nothing.

I'm still having struggle getting Protein in, but other than that little discomfort sometimes but nothing I can't handle, I still get spasms in my stomach when I eat which hurt bad! And with the weight, I know how u feel, I lost 8lbs since surgery which was in the last 4-5 days of surgery and then nothing, it's annoying and stressful!!! But my dr said its normal right now! So I'm trying to stay away from scale. He said just worry about nutrition. But hopefully I lose more soon!

I am also struggling to get my fluids in. I have felt great and almost back to normal. I also had a possible incision infection but my surgeon cleaned it out yesterday and it seems much better now. As far as the scale, I'm down 9 lbs since the morning of surgery. Today it hurt a bit when I drank anything so I hope it feels better tomorrow. We have to stay strong and get through these few challenging days so we can reap the rewards of this surgery. We can do it!

Ok dropped 2more pounds and learned my lesson-I only need to weigh once a week. It is weird but my stomach feels different this morning-almost tighter.

      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!
