liquids and pureed went great and i felt great only issue has been Constipation, saw my doc friday and he said add a stool softener. Today i have severe diarehha its like Water and I cant get far from the toilet.I had some nausea yesterday and some loose stools last night. Friday was my first day on soft foods I first thought maybe it was the soft scrambled egg for Breakfast Saturday but now im wondering is it the stool softeners or something else anyone else had this issue Id love some input? Today ive only had some oatmeal one Protein Shake and some pureed mashed potatoes with meatloaf and gravy about 1/2 cup.

I have had the same issue with stool softeners. Suggestion to take every other day is good. You might also try some Fiber gummies or something like that to add fiber to your intake rather than the stool softener.

Be real careful what you puree. It very well could be the potatoes and gravy. Your system might not have been able to process the fats and carbs in it. That can cause diarrhea, sometimes quite severe. I also agree to back up on the stool softeners. I took 1 a day for about week and had no issues, but I could see that taking one a day could cause to a dam break if you get my meaning...

I would stay away from the stool softeners, you want to try natural things. I was having problems with Constipation, so bad I had to be hospitalized and I ended up with stitches, but know I eat black berries and I go daily with no diarrhea or any other problems.

      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!
