Was sleeved on the 25th too. Hiatal hernia repair too. So much pain. Broke down and cried this AM regretting my decision. Have to stay strong, but it's difficult. So glad I found this group.

I cried after my first walk. I'm NOT a Cryer but the pain was intense and every time I breathed it got worse, which I think made me panic.

How are you all eating? I was cleared for purees but I can't eat more than full liquids.< /p>

Haven't been able to drink much of the Isopure. Makes me want to puke. So disgusting, even with Crystal Lite flavoring. Am able to hold down Water, Jello and broth. Nutritionist wants me drinking 64 ounces of fluids a day, at a minimum. Can't reach that, but I'm trying.

Very gassy. Staying with my mom for a few and she's rubbing my back to help with that. sleeping on the couch because it feels better to be on an incline. Trying not to take painkillers, but need them at least at night. Tried Tylenol and it did nothing for me.

Abdomen and between breasts are so sore. Doesn't hurt to walk, but does hurt to get up. I'm walking hunchbacked.

The gas was terrible for me as well...I'm 8 days out and it's a LOT better. I'm still having problems getting all my fluids in. I actually like the Isopure. What flavors did you get?

fruit punch and grape. I made it halfway through the fruit punch and sips of the grape. I'm going to try again tomorrow, but if I can't get them down, I'm supposed to start Protein Shakes Friday. I have vanilla and strawberry to try and hopefully, I like them. I did enjoy both flavors of the Optifast.< /p>

I got Alpine Punch, Peach Mango, and Blue Raspberry. I love them all. I'm on Protein Shakes now so I drink both along with Crystal Lite. I can also have cream Soups and the broccoli and cheese has saved my life!

Hey guys don't know if you have Duane reades or cvs or Vitamin shoppes where you live but I got these great Protein "shots" they don't taste great but they are only 3-4 ounces a piece. The thinner ones are about the size of a five oz energy and have 28 gm protein and the larger ones from Vitamin Shoppe are whey Protein Shots and 42 gm protein each. I HATE the Isopure. If you're gonna have to have something gross at least make it a smaller amount!

      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!
