My stomach is doing great.. My mind.. Idk! I cried this morning bc I felt sorry for myself and wanted to eat..lol

I have really had no pain at all! No problem with drinking stuff.. Just hate the Protein shakes and I'm already sick of cream Soups.. So I'm not getting in enough Protein at all and at certain times of the day I feel soooo weak! What are you eating?

Today was my first day of full liquids, I've had applesauce. It hurts if I take too many sips and I get air stuck a lot, or at least that's what it feels like. The pain has been a huge battle for me, but today was finally my turning point. I feel like I've just done way too many sit ups. Ice is my friend on 2 of my 5 incisions. I'm just glad that I'm starting to feel human again.

Hey guys I was sleeved on the 9th, and really the only pain I have had is the gas. My wife is a nurse so she makes sure I'm sipping like I'm supposed to

      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!
