My guide says that Imodium is okay to take. Hope you feel better! If it doesn't get better within a day or two, I would call your doctor though.

I had really bad diarrhea for my first 6 days postop. My doctor ended up recommending that I drink kefir (liquid yogurt) because of the good bacteria in it & it worked like a charm.

I love Kefir, I drink a cup every morning. I'm sure the plain Kefir is best but I love the blueberry and today at the grocery store I saw chocolate kefir. Hmmm sounds interesting, might have to get some of that!

Immodium is a life saver.

I never tried the plain, but I love the blueberry, too. The raspberry & the cherry are also good. The pomegranate was a bit too tart for me, so I added a little Black Cherry Mio & it was perfect.

I'm just over 4 months out and I'm having the opposite problem. I feel like I'm living on laxatives and Miralax. I'd rather be pooing my brains out!

I, too, had diarrhea the first week. Now, 4 weeks out, I'm sitting here trying to drink a bottle of magnesium citrate. There just doesn't seem to be a happy medium, does there?

      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!
