What's the postop rule you absolutely follow?



Recommended Posts

There some rules I've broken but I always wait 30 minutes after eating before drinking Water. I literally check my watch when I stop chewing and calculate what time I can start drinking.

I followed all rules for first 6 months or so, then I defined what maintenance was going to look like for me individually. Absolutely follow the rules until you can fly on your own.

I'm still learning from trial and error. But I don't skip a morning Protein or my Multivitamins.

I'm 13 months out, and I still follow pretty much everything except for 2 that I never followed - I eat in front the the TV sometimes, and I don't chew a lot or eat super slow. Oh - and I don't always measure food, but I still do most of the time. Other than that, I'm pretty careful about all my eating habits.

The rules I have been most apt to stick to would be the 30 20 30 rule and the small portions rule. I cannot eat and drink within 30 minutes of eachother and I cannot have more than 3-4 bited per meal without having to throw it back up. I am almost 3 months post op.

      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!
