I'm feeling great, but while learning to listen to my body, I'm able to take In more than 1-2oz of fluids. I don't know how to feel about that. Am I pushing it?? It kinda feel like I never had the actual surgery.... Idk

Don't worry about the liquid intake so much -- everything is normal. I was able to drink more each day after surgery and had the same doubts. When you get to eating more solid foods you will definitely feel the restriction of your sleeve. Just keep getting in your Protein and Water and you'll do just fine.

The day after surgery i could only take in about half an ounce at a time. Within days I could down one ounce at a time. I just noticed a few mins ago I gulped about 4 swallows from my water bottle. I can still only eat about a half a cup of food so it's all good.

You're probably okay but talk to your doctor anyway.

Belladonna, you should be very careful, at a week out you may not feel it but that seems like a LOT to be eating now! Especially chicken. I'm almost 6 weeks out and I can only eat a few bites at a time. I have to go really slow. I know everyone is different and each Dr gives different instructions, but I haven't seen anyone on here say that their Dr is ok with 4oz of chicken at 1 week.

Don't get discouraged, it will get better and we're here to support you!!

      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.

        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!
