Wow!!! I did it. Lol. Thank you all for your replies!!! I am really concerned that I'm not getting enough fluids in. I'm 5 days post op and really struggling to drink a lot. Also my intake of Protein is low as I don't drink milk at all, and most Protein drinks have to be made with milk. Getting increasingly worried that this wasn't the right decision for me :-( .......

I do almond milk... I can't do regular milk. No real Protein but tastes better than a shake made with water!

I have never mixed any of my Protein drinks in milk, i always felt milk made them to thick, most of them are fine in Water, for that matter the nutritional facts reported on them don't include the milk so you still get the listed amount of Protein when you mix them in Water. It does take some time to get enough fluids in without it being a true struggle, this is mostly because of all the swelling inside, the one thing i found that really helped was to drink warm liquids early since the warmth decreases the swelling, also make sure you are up and moving around as much as possible to get all the air out which will also effect how well you can handle fluids. Good Luck.

      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.
