Recommended Posts

First day post op and I can not tolerate ice chips....are these things making anyone else nauseous?

I'm 4 days post op and ice chips were the worst!! I didnt think i would get any liquids in fooling with the ice chips. Small sips of room temp Water helped immensely. Best of luck to ya!

Oh girl. I hear you -- anything too cold gives me spasms and I can't do it! Warm things -- broth, Soup -- or room temp things are a must.

I was sleeved 8/6 and try to eat regular food per my doc, and after 2 oz of Protein my head hurts and face gets hot, and chest gas pain, so odd.

Re: Protein.

Has anyone tried skimmed milk? My surgeon's nurse practitioner said its good for getting protein in. I have a latte for Breakfast daily and add milk powder to my Soups. It's working for me...

So glad you told me about the powdered milk, its so easy to add to soups and potato and carrot mash, just made it taste creamy, I have about 3 coffees made with milk aday :-D

All except one of them. I think its called dexilant or something but the doctor said I wouldnt start taking that one until the 30th after the 1 week follow up. How's your pain level?

      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!
