What did you guys do for drinks your first week post op. Currently I am only drinking Water and eating bits of Jello. I can't stand the taste of crystal light or Powerade zero. Yesterday I was feeling ok but today I feel tired and lightheadedness.

Try some skim milk. You need Protein. I drank three cups a day when I was on liquids.

I'm making my husband go buy me some popsicles, I can't do broth even thinking about it makes me almost throw up. I used to have an "Iron stomach" but now even there mere though of things will bring Jen to my knees. Oh well on day at a time. I did drink a small glass of milk and that helped with my lightheadedness.

I just found out I will be drinking 1/8 a cup of clear juice mixed with 1/8 a cup of Water three times a day just to keep blood sugar levels from going bonkers.

I am pretty sure you can have any clear juice under 20 cals per serving. I have found minute maid has a couple of flavors in the refrigerator section at my Walmart. Also, ocean spray makes diet juices like cran-grape etc that were a nice change up.

The only broth I could make it through was the beef bullion cubes and after two weeks of that I will be glad to never see it again.

Crystal light lemonade is amazing. I wish I would have discovered it sooner. I also did pedialyte Popsicles to help with electrolytes.

The crystal light lemonade burned my pouch or at least that's how I felt.

Fuze slenderize is good, low fat milk, Motts Tots has a light apple juice that I've been drinking - only 50 cals and 12 g sugar in 8 oz serving. Plus the juice helps keep Constipation away. Lol

      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!
