My saving grace were the sugar free Popsicles and Jello. They went down the best and easiest. Water is harder to get down because of the density. I'm almost 11 weeks post op and it has improved tremendously (it goes down best when I'm drinking it during exercise; perhaps the movement helps it go down better) and I find cold water goes down better than room temperature water. I literally survived on Popsicles, Jello and Gatorade. As the swelling in my stomach went down and I could eat a little better, I then began to concentrate on Protein. My goal during "hell" week was to stay hydrated and not end up back in the hospital for dehydration. Full liquid phase, loved the cream of chicken Soup, broccoli n cheese Soup, sugar free pudding, my doctor allowed a scrambled egg (not dried or over cooked) with cheese during this phase. Hope this helps.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
