I don't like this answer! (Titanium staples). Foreign un dissolving objects?! Booooo

Just about any abdominal op will leave you with some titanium staples. They are v stable and don't set off alarms at the airport. But your X-rays will be fascinating! I've had several surgeries and have quite a few of the darned things - I look quite "arty" on the inside IMHO.

So' date=' no judgement here but just an observation and a question. I'm sure that egg was good, the first food I ate once I was allowed was a scrambled egg and it was the best damn egg I ever ate. But if you're having a hard time getting in liquid Protein, how did you get in solid food? The liquid should go down even easier no? Is it just that you're sick of Protein shakes by now? That's understandable, I think most of us were. Just go forward from here and know this is the toughest it's going to be. It gets much easier very soon. Stick it out....keep drinking that Water and those shakes. Very soon you won't have to drink them any more.[/quote']

The problem I'm having is that nothing tastes good. I'm living off aporox 30oz a day of Isopure because its the only thing I can drink that doesn't make me wanna puke my guts out. So the fact that the egg tasted AMAZING made me so excited! I'm trying my best to up my fluids but if I drink much more than I am now it makes my stomach hurt.

In the words of the great Yoda, "Try"?

'do or do not" "there is no try"!!

No judgment. I've been on purée, per my doctor, since the morning after my surgery. I wouldn't worry too much.

It's possible you're now lactose intolerant. My shakes were mckinney nauseated so I took lactaid pills with them and that has really helped. May be worth trying that, or switching to soy-based for a bit.

Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup? I recommend it a lot, as it tasted great to me, went down easy and gave me the Protein I needed.

Good luck!

      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!
