Wondering how many days/weeks you will need to feel like getting out of the house

I know it is different for everyone but just wanted to get an idea about getting back to normal...so to speak.

For me my first outing was to church and I was a week and two days out and I felt perfectly fine...now at 2w3d I feel completely normal :)

My first outing was back to the hospital but that's a different story. UGH So after that I think I went to the grocery store about a week after my second surgery. Felt pretty good just got tired. Just be really CAREFUL and don't over do it! When I went to my first Dr. appointment I reinjured my self getting out of the car and good grief did it hurt.

I was released from hospital on a Sunday and their pharmacy was closed. My first outing was from hospital to Kroger. I walked around grocery store while waiting for my meds.

I had surgery on wed, went home on Friday and stopped at two stores on my way home. After that I went out with my mom on Monday for a few hours in town to get some fresh air and walk. It was nice. I went out for 2-3 hrs each day that week with her to walk around because of the snow. I then would come home and take a map as I was totally done.

      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!
