I was back in hospital for a week. Got home a couple of days ago. They inserted an Ng tube down my nose to my small bowel and am being fed 24/7 that way. They are hoping it wakes things up. I am able to tolerate some liquids finally. If this works may remove tube in a couple of weeks and be on my own so we will see.

Thanks for the update, Cowboy. Sorry about the NG tube, but if it works, give it a little caress from your peeps at Bariatric Pal. Will keep you in my prayers.

Ty. Tried Protein Shake for first time this morning but threw it up so worried again as I should be able to tolerate? Maybe I drank to fast? Does that happen?

Yes it does. I had to drink out of medicine cups when I first started. Take one teeny sip, wait 2 minutes. If the tummy doesn't rebel, take another. it would take forever to drink 2 ounces, but I kept everything down.

      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!
