How are you feeling?!?!

I'm better today. Yesterday I was miserable. Today I'm having a lot of gas pains. Started liquids today, can honestly say I'm not hungry . How are you? How did you yesterday ?

Today I'm all better. Yesterday was not as great. Pain was manageable (I kept my finger on that button!) My mouth was so dry and my throat was so sore from the breathing tube during surgery. I started liquids today and am tolerating them well. Walking the halls really makes a world of difference in how you feel. It working wonders for me.

How are you doing today with liquids? I'm afraid to eat the jello!

Yes! I came home as soon as they asked me if I was ready! Being at home and trying to take in liquids and all that is way easier than being at the hospital. Is Optifast a Protein Shake? I tried some Protein yesterday, took forever but I want to focus on staying hydrated

      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!
