Warning! My husband took a sip of his beer then kissed me. I licked my lips and got a buzz! Lasted a good 10 minutes too! Beware! Lol

I got fluids and left last night. Felt better so I tried to have 3 bites of food tonight and I've been throwing up since 9. I can't lay down bc of the severe heartburn.

Very depressed right now. Thinking I made the wrong decision. I can't eat anything. Not even a tiny sip of Soup. Can only take tiny sips of Water and that gives me heartburn. I just want to be normal again.

No. Never heard of it but unless it's just like Water I wouldn't be able to hold it down. I can't even hold down a tiny sip of Soup.< /p>

Its a watery liquid that coats the stomach. It hwlps me out a lot. You may want to ask your surgeon to order it for you. Its worth a try. Sorry you're struggling. I will continue to pray for you. They may also want to look at your gallbladder.

Sit up after meals, let gravity be your friend. Start with small sips (5ml) and increase if you don't vomit. Try sipping every 10-15 min. And increase as tolerated. Avoid fluids that have acid- lemon/ lime. Try distraction too. Listen to music and think positive thoughts. It can be easy to get depressed when going through something like this. Baby steps. Hydration is #1 ! Hope this helps!

Having a hard time with fluids again. Not sure why? It hurts about 30-60 seconds after I drink, strange feeling? Anyone else? My weight stalled for a while too, lose a pound, gain a pound, finally lost 2 pounds today. DOS weight was 269. Is everyone else averaging around 10-20 pounds since surgery...those who are 3 weeks postop? Thinking I might need to get some fluids soon if it continues to hurt since I find myself not drinking as much.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
