The nurse suggested some to me I bought but haven't taken it...but I know this is weird...if we are not eating anything..and only doing liquids/ broth what's gonna come out?

only liquid going in is only liquid coming out for me! I was sleeved on 9-6 and I finally had a "bm" yesterday. One of the best pieces of advice I got from a friend is NEVER trust a fart. I am very careful about that and thankful for the advice!!

Good luck. Everyone is different and it will happen sooner or later :)

It was quite a bit of time before I had a BM. Well over a week and I was worring about it also. I finally took Miralax and nothing for like 2 days. :)

i would get worried if you have not had a BM before this weekend hits. Stool softener should help. Anesthesia can cause Constipation after surgery. If no BM by this weekend than i would take miralax and call you doctors office

      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!
