Can we just chat about this? Prior to surgery my bm's were extremely soft (sometimes with no solidity at all) due to my poor diet and the metformin I was on for PCOS. Post op my poopz are wonderful! I haven't had the joy of taking a gigantic firm poop in over a year and am thrilled. For those of you with little maturity and a similar experience please share :]

Well I don't poop every day and eat a lot of cheese so Constipation is an issue, usually I just am in the bathroom for like 20 mins trying. Eventually it just works. Try ti eat more Fiber. (Hummus has some fiber)

LOTS of people have that problem with metformin! It is nice to hear about someone that is having positive bowel issues post op rather than problems all the time.

My surgery was may 23rd . Since 2 days post op I've been doing regular solid poops 2-3 times a day like clockwork . Drink your Protein Shakes and eat Protein and you'll go regular. Drink a lot too.

      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!
