Crystal Light fruit Punch has been my savior. Plain Water tastes weird to me now. I used to love to chug water. :'(

I am so sorry you are having another issue with your baby.

Thanks Mel3620, I did it to myself, yesterday, I didn't chew correctly, food got stuck and made me sick the rest of the day, this morning im able to hold down the meds and Water. However, I'm having some discomfort in the bottom of my stomach, I'm going to pump liquids today and see if that helps. I hope you're feeling good.

I went through this' date=' and still some things taste nasty. Just keep trying different things. I have come across a few Protein Drinks I can handle again, but it took a few weeks.[/quote']

I'm so glad to hear it's not just me. I will just keep going!! :-)

I am doing pretty good. I had an incident on Saturday night. It was my first real party since having surgery, and although I didn't go as crazy as I would have before surgery... Herman was still not happy with me! I was miserable for part of the night, but after I was able to throw up... much better! I don't know if I just ate too many different things or it was that last piece of chicken tender. (It was a little dry)

Since I have been back to work, my insides are gurgling like a leaky pipe! I'm thinking of calling my reroute "Chatty Patty"! I'm trying to be really careful about swallowing air when I drink and not drink to fast. Any suggestions???

Yeah, that last piece will get us every time. I spoke to my nurse this morning, He fussed at me, gave me a tongue lashing, lol and then he put me on liquids and pureed food for the next 2 to 3 weeks, Damn....he said my stomach is a little tighter than most, that I have to give it chance to stretch without the added drama.

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
