Wow! I'm exactly one week post op and I still can't get in enough liquids. I can't even imagine taking a bite of food. I see my dr today & I'm hoping he will let me move onto Protein Drinks, creamy things because the clear liquid stage has been bad. All clear Soups, broths are ok and I can manage maybe 3 or 4 small sips off a teaspoon and then the next time I heat some broth and i smell it the nausea hits & the dry heaving begins.

You want to be careful because your sleeve is at its most fragile right now' date=' but I'm not going to beat you over the head with that but you surely realize doing this increased your risks for complications.

Can I ask you an unrelated question though? How come you type with capitalization on the first letter of every word? Totally random, I was just curious.[/quote']

Lol Just A Habit I Guess. Been Doing That Since I Was Like 16.

I could start having the full liquids like the strained black bean Soup and creamed Soups on day 7

You're almost there! ;)

If you can already do full liquids then you can start now :)

All surgeons are different

Please do not eat this at 4 days out. Do you have a NUT or surgeon you can contact. At 6 days out you should still be on full liquids. Follow your eating plan and do your self a favour and don't stray from it. You could do yourself harm if you do. No broccoli soup either, you can't have broccoli yet.

PPI is a proton pump inhibitor like Nexium, Prilosec and Previcid. They are long acting gastric acid inhibitors....antacids.

The strained black bean is just the broth and the broccoli Soup is cream of broccoli.

Also I told her to start it when she was on full liquids not sooner. Just to clarify!

      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!
