4 days post-op

Hi all you sleevers!

I just have to say that I am feeling pretty good about having the surgery. In the hospital, when I was coming out of sedation, and they had me on the pca pump of dilaudid I did not pee on my own. They had to cath me 4 times and it wasn't until they took me off of it that I went on my own. Did anyone else have this trouble? I'm going good now. I also seem to be doing well with drinking. So far I've had Water, sugar free Popsicles and Jello, broth, and sf Vitamin water.

When you went and started adding Protein to your routine did you hit your goal of what you should have right off the bat or did you do it gradually? What is the beat Protein shake to go with? I have the Atkins shakes for now, but I want to get the best stuff?

How long did the pain last for? I feel like it's getting better, and I want to get off of the Tylenol with codeine. It tastes horrible and it's bad for you. Anyway, if anyone has any insight for me, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Totally normal to not hit Water and Protein goals in the first week or two. In the first week, it's all about hydration. Your nutritionist should be able to provide you with weekly goals.

      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!
