Post Op Day 9 question



Recommended Posts

Seeking some advice.....

I am nine days post-op and I am still learning the signals my new stomach is sending me. I've been healing really well and the past three days my energy level is better than normal. I've been getting my Protein in via shakes while I'm on full liquids and tried a new brand of Protein powder today. Since then I have been insanely nauseous (reminds me of nausea during the early stages of pregnancy). Has anyone else experienced this? Would this just be due to the brand change?

I'm 23 days post op most of the Protein Shakes I drunk before surgery I can't drink them now so I'm making my on with Protein Powder, half a banana and 1 or 2 pieces of watermelon with 1% milk. I blend it all together this is the only way I can drink a shake now. Also I can't drink strawberry shakes they really hurt but vanilla I drink it with no problem.

I haven't been able to do Protein Shakes at all since I had surgery (10 weeks). My suggestion would be to watch for anything with milk (whey products especially). You may have a tolerance to the new shakes or you may need to switch up the flavor.

Have you tried Premier Protein shakes? They sell them as Sam's and costco. Sam's is cheaper by about $6. These have 30g of Protein and quite good. It is the only one I really ever drink anymore and a lot of people have had success with them. good luck to 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.

      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!
