Newbie Needs Help



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 2 days ago. I got home from hospital yesterday. This morning I started with my first Protein Shake. I am sitting here trying to get it down a tiny spoonful at a time. I hear lots of gurgling and some discomfort. I just want to know if this is normal and will it get better?

Yes, this is very normal. I couldn't even drink protien shakes at all because they made me feel sick. I drank High Protien Boost instead and it agreed with my stomach better.

I was told not to worry about Protein for the first week just to stay hydrated. Protein still makes my tummy bubbly at 9 weeks.

I'm 4 weeks out and my gurgling tummy is my alarm clock! When it's empty or getting full, it tells me! Annoying but it does remind me to eat otherwise I could go hours and hours now without eating/just don't feel hunger the same as before!

The first week, my surgeon wants me on Clear Liquids, but to add Protein bullets....1 42g bullet/day. Then the second week (after the first post-op appt) on to full liquids and the Protein Shakes.< /p>

      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'. ???

      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!
