How many days until...



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out so I'll answer what I can...

I'm still in a recliner and am planning on being there for another 2 weeks probably.

I am able to get in my 64 oz and 70 g Protein now. I was able to probably as of day 9 or 10.

The gas pains left as of day 6/first bm (sorry tmi) BUT i am still having active gas creation at both ends (very embarrassing since i've been at work all week in a quiet cubicle setting)

Get up in the night to do what? Bathroom or just walk? I haven't gotten up at all but I also was using pain meds immediately before bed up til a day or two ago which knocks me out. I've been having trouble getting up in the morning.

Good luck to you in your recovery!

I had heartburn at first when laying flat. I was okay by day 4 or so.

10 days out and I am still struggling with getting more than 40 oz or so of Protein.

Gas pains were gone by day 3.

Slept through the night after 3 or 4 days.

You no longer slept in a recliner?
You were able to get in your full 64oz and 70g Protein?
The gas pains left completely?
You could sleep through the night without getting up?

I slept in my bed flat day four, I got over the gas pain after fiveish days, I still do not get in the right liquid or food, ( today meal four bites of tuna and three multi grain crackers one Gatorade small size and 3 ounces tea and a cup of coffee) I slept all night day four when I came home from hospital. I slept for three days besides getting up a couple times to sip because my husband made 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.

      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.

      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!
