Papya enzyme will help break down food if something feels stuck or your pouch feels full or something isn't settling.

It gets better!!! I had the CT scan last month. That stuff is nasty you have too drink!! And a lot of it too boot with a tiny stomach. The EDG for stricture dilatation is very easy

I had one last month and after debating with the nurse, we decided that I should just chug the liquid that they add to the Water straight like a shot. That worked much better as opposed to trying to drink all of that Water

Ok thanks! I saw someone at some point recommending for nausea also, wasn't sure what it really did.

If you are having nausea you should get a prescription for sublingual Zofran.. Helps tremendously... Most surgeons and doctors have no problem prescribing especially since nausea can sabotage our day for eating and drinking.

Mine was throwing up non stop after 3 months post up.

I wasn't throwing up constantly but that's probably because I wasn't eating. I was dehydrated and low on Vitamins especially potassium but getting all that through IV now. Hopefully by tomorrow all will be good.

      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!
