how do you know if something didn't digest?



Recommended Posts

Im not really sure what it feels like or how to know if you can't digest something? Are they're certain foods any of you have a hard time digesting?

You will know if you cannot digest something because you will vomit and your belly will hurt and sometimes you may hurt across your chest! I personally cannot digest hamburger patties to this day and I'm 2 years post op. Also anything soft and doughy comes right back up. You will discover foods that work well and foods that you will need to stay away from. It's a process to find what works and what doesn't. Best of luck to you! ;)

For me I ate some chicken today that was kinda dry and it didn't hurt going down, but when I tried to drink some Water 30 minutes later the chicken and water came back up. It will find a way out if it can't go down. My surgery was 9/4/13.

      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.

        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!
