Yesterday started the ever so fun diarrhea after doing some searching on the forums I've found this is pretty normal. What I haven't heard is it keeping someone awake all night I can't find a comfortable position cause my abdomen will get tight and then feel like I'm being stabbed until I get up and sit on the toilet. I'm walking all the time and I've taken GasX strips but I don't know what else I can do I'm about to lose my mind from the exhaustion.

Oh, that's awful :( Will your dr let you take Imodium? Some allow it. My diarrhea lasted several days but is better now (day 7).

My diarrhea lasted about a week until I started eating pureed foods. I was more comfortable propped up on the couch then in bed- I could not get comfortable in bed for almost two weeks. Unfortunately, the first two weeks just plain suck, and there is not much you can do.... BUT, but week 3 you will start feeling great, so hang in there!

A surgeon can't just leave for a week with no one on call!!

      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.

      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!
