Congrats Doriana!

I took the junior strength chewable tylenol too, and if yours is also 160mg per pill, 4 pills is only giving you 640mg, which is a little more than 1 extra strength tylenol (500mg). *I* normally take 2 extra strength, so really, that would be 6 'juniors'. Seems crazy (especially when there's only 18-20 in a bottle)... but that's the way it works out.

Don't know about the coffee... that's a q for your dr's office. Personally, I had coffee (and milk!) in the first week, and I'm still alive. But listen to your Dr!

Great to hear things went well Doriana! Take it day by day and you will soon be feeling better.

To all those Americans who keep on telling us Canadians to buy "adult" liquid tylenol....how many times do we have to say...HELLLLOOOOOO CANADA HERE>>>>>>>different country....not the same products!!!!! Yeeeeesh; it gets frustrating.

Anyways.....sorry Doriana....had to vent. So, yes, as some others have mentioned, I also took children's liquid tylenol and gravol......you can start taking your Vitamins right away if you like. I didn't (thankfully) have much gas pain but I did have gasX and oval on hand.

My saviour during the first several days were sugar free (Delmonte juice) popsicles!!

Good luck on your recovery!

Thank you....

I'm feeling very sore today. All over, actually.. I feel like I've been punched a million times, but I know this is all normal....

I slept a bit more last night, but still very tired.

this morning I took only 4 chewable tylenols, so I'll see how that goes.

I got some popsicles, the regular ones.

I will check in later.

Have a great day.

Doriana, my doc gave me an rx for liquid codeine. Call the doc and ask them to call in an rx to your pharmacy...that stuff is a life saver!

Yeah liquid codeine was my friend, but very constipating so Milk of Magnesia (MOM) became another friend. I experienced bad pain for 7 days straight, hope it doesn't last as long for you.

Hey Doriana, I'm sorry I missed you grand entrance into bandland. Congratulations!!!! I also was given a script for liquid codeine. I only used it once, but it was GOOD. Take care.

Congratulations Doriana! :clap2: I'm glad to hear that all went well. Dr. Coburn is a great surgeon. I saw what people were saying about the gas, and the Gas-X (I used the Gas-X strips..awesome!) works wonders. :thumb: I also walked, but not as frequently as some guys on here. I think just take it as you can. It sounds like you're healing really well already! Woohoo!:gluck:

Congrats, Doriana!

Now is no time to keep a stiff upper lip.

Take your pain meds - whatever your doc has prescribed, or lots of tylenol.

Pain is bad. Oh - and I am with Pat - I can't stand coffee without milk. I did it right away and had no problems.

Good luck!

      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!
