I have to admit I haven't done much since surgery. I had a ton of nausea, was lightheaded, and just plain felt like crap! I've been telling myself to suck it.. So far so good. Lol. Anyway.. Protein Shakes are a complete turnoff. I want to gag just thinking of them. I haven't had a lot of fluids either, all things I'm focusing on today whether I like it or not. I just want to eat real food, but know I'm not allowed yet. :(

Ps.. Lost 9lbs and actually got a little nervous. Lol

It gets better! (I'm 3mos post) I really couldn't get Protein till time 2-3weeks out. It was so heavy in my stomach, an i felt like it was sitting in my chest, I had to force them down. Keep up the good work!

      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.

        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!
