They took out my drain before I left the hospital! That's my most painful spot though. My left side is second to that. It's a little better today compared to yesterday' date=' I'm only taking one teaspoon of pain meds instead of two. I agree it's so hard to get in all my Protein and Water. I think I only got about 21 grams of Protein yesterday and 36 oz of Water? I'm trying to increase today, but it's hard with the half hour rule, and not being able to handle much in the first place, and plus I just want to nap![/quote']

I'm not get as much as I was yesterday but I'm trying my left side is aching so I'm trying to rest

I forgot all about the half hour rule. Been drinking a couple of medicine cups slowly, waiting 15 mins, then drinking some more.

You're certainly welcome! It's my new nest friend. Between walking and the heating pad that's how I was able to get rid of that awful gas pain.

I wasn't in any pain when I woke up in my room. I had someone help me up to get the walk over with - they want you up and walking asap - and then I went back to bed. I was soooo sleepy! I walked three times the first day, each time followed by a nap. The worst part of the first day is not pain. The pain is manageable and they're giving you the good stuff for it. The worst part is the thirst!!! You can't drink until the second day...

I was scared of pain waking up too, but you're so drugged up its not too bad lol, just sore. You feel like you did a whole bunch of crunches. Or like you've been sucking in your stomach really tight. Other than that I slept most of the first day and the pain button helps a lot.

      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?

        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.
