Everything I eat froths up on me. They say that's normal from the swelling. It makes it hard to keep the meds down so I've been in the hospital for 4 days now. I hope to go home soon.

I have officially been a 'sleever" for about 12 hours now! I am a bit sore and definately groggy but so far everything is going well. Took an assisted walk down the hospital hall and am wearing the 'squeezing' leg socks which also helps. Definately better than I expected so that's all for now, since it took me about half hour to peck out this little post...:). Fingers crossed for continued progress for all of us! Oh is there a post-op M arch Sleevers group? Thanks.

Small sips and bites. Chew very well. It's all swollen and a small hole. I have to take tiny sips. It's killing me not to guzzle a whole bottle of water!

Hi @@Bonawanabfree I called my doctors office and they said it is my stomach having a spasm when I put anything into it. They said it will go away and just to eat very small bites and drink very small sips. I felt like I was doing that already so I made them even smaller. Lol. I hope this goes away soon. Thanks for the much appreciated help.

@@stacy458

Yes, To me it felt like a spasm. It still happens once in a while but not as bad. I kept feeling like it was hunger. Very strange feeling. Then came the acid stomach. If you do start getting acid stomach call the nurse right away and get something for it cause it will wake you up at night.

      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!
