It doesn't matter if you have an appetite you need the fluids so you don't become dehydrated. Try to drink at least one oz of something every 15 minutes.

You will eat "food" when you feel hungry. It gets better. The first few days are hard to get adjusted.

For the first day or two, Water alone should be just fine. But you really do need to start getting some sort of calories and nutrients in you. I had trouble stomaching MORE broth after so much of it during pre-op, so I was straining low sodium broth based Soups and sipping them through out the day.

Remember terrydumont she is only 2 days out of surgery so the oz, of Water every 15 min, is what is normal , I am not sure if she can have more on day 2 or 3 , hopefully she got the post op directions fro her surgeon, it says what to do, just saying , then again different doctors do different things .

If you got the pre op instructions from your Surgeon ask for the post op instructions it says what to do and if not you can find it on the e where and follow that for pre & post op , I know for me I think it was either 1 or 2 days 1oz of Water everf course it was hard and it had to be room temp or I could chew and suck on ice chips , then I could do clear broth on either day 2 or 3 if your never sure about anything , always please ask your surgeon.

      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!
