Since my surgery I have been taking chewable vitamins. At this point, just the thought if them makes me gag. I'm still getting full on very little food. When were you able to start swallowing whole pills with liquid?

Since my surgery I have been taking chewable vitamins. At this point, just the thought if them makes me gag. I'm still getting full on very little food. When were you able to start swallowing whole pills with liquid?

When I started on solid food I was told I could also go to my hard pill Vitamins again. But I can only take one hard pill at a time and sometimes it still makes me feel sick but fight to keep it down cuz I know its good for me. I'm 7 almost 8 weeks post-op

I was allowed to take my pills the same night that i had surgery. But don't just follow what my doc had me do - check with your doc!

I was also able to take non-chewable medication on the day after surgery.

After they saline locked my IV in the hospital I got sick in the evening and they couldn't administer gravol through my IV. They gave me gravol by mouth and I tolerated it fine

      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.

      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!
