Just wanted to see if anyone had any advice... I am about 3 1/2 weeks post op and am extremely tired. I started back to work this week, working just 1/2 days. I go home and take a nap, I am in bed by 830 or 9pm and have been struggling to wake by 630 or 7. Is this normal or ? I am getting all my Vitamins, still struggling with Protein but that is getting better every day! Just a little frustrated today. I am feeling good otherwise, just don't have the energy to do anything this week!!!

I was exhausted for a long time. By week six you will probably feel more like yourself again.

I'm 3 weeks post op and I completely understand how you feel. Seems like I'm sleeping close to 12 hours a day between the night and naps. Trying to get my calories and Protein up but it's hard when you can only eat so much at once. Hoping each day gets a tiny bit better!!! <== She types as she nods off. :rolleyes:

I was too exhausted. However, since doing research and talking to people about Vitamins ect. I found out that majority of vitamins are only 8-10% absorbable. I started taking Zija Moringa in about month 4 or 5 post op and feel amazingly better. It's organic and 100% bioavalability (absorbed). If your on FB you can go to page of, Moringa's Ninety Nutrients for more info. I swear by it, it's the best of the best. There are two people that I know for sure started taking it from here and both feel the same way I do about it. I no longer have to take any vitamins or give myself B12 injections. Zija has every Vitamin from a-z.

Is it a liquid Vitamin or ?? I struggle with my Multivitamins... Having tried several with lots of nausea! Is this the only thing you have to take now?

I have to take my Vitamins five times a day. It's oh so fun. Didn't know there were other options!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
