I'm day 5 now... Yesterday was my best day yet, but this morning I woke up with a killer headache. I'm wondering if because I've cut back so much that my body has become deficient in something. Carbs maybe?? Haha seriously tho... I'm wondering if it's a Vitamin thing. :(

I'm 5 days into my liquid diet. My surgery date is sept 30th... I Prob do need to drink more Water because it seems to only hit me when I wake up. As I get hydrated and "eat" something, I feel better.

I'm 6 days into my pre op liquid too. I feel pretty crappy in the morning as well. I think it's just kind of common will our baby freaks out because we aren't feeding it. My surgery is Tuesday. When is yours?

Did you cut out caffeine? I had monster headaches - just a few sips of coffee and I was good to go. Feel better.

I hear you. We've had some added stress in our lives the last couple days with trying to take care of my Uncle's estate since my parents live in a different state, but I hung in there and just filled a cooler of liquids and brought them with me. Now today I'm getting my house all clean so I'm ready to go to surgery tomorrow.

Yeppers on the fluids suggestion.. The liquid pre op headaches suck and the only thing that will head them off is water.. keep some by your bed through the night and when you wake up to turn over etc take a big sip.. drink a decent sized glass before bed .. and keep on drinking lol.. it gets less common as you go but they do turn up post op as well when you slack of on your Fluid intake :) Good luck with your surgeries ladies!

Post op day 3 and doing much better. I think I'll actually get more than 32 oz of liquid today. No pain other than random gas pain, but nauseous. I took a Zofran yesterday and decided maybe I better keep taking those regular for a couple days.

      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!
