...and I've gained 13 lbs since surgery! I guessing my kidneys haven't recovered yet. Anyone else gain that much? I know I'm not eating too much, because I'm still in hospital, lol!

I wish I'd weighed myself the first day or two to know for sure, but yes it was something like that. Don't worry, it'll pass!

I gained 11 pounds from iv fluids. Very normal, and it comes off fast.

I would like to say first welcome to the losers bench, I agree with the above statement that it is probably Fluid intake from the iv I too gained more weight then before surgery, your body will drop this Water wait and you will see the pounds began to come off, please remember to walk, blow into that plastic thingy, and to drink your water keep us posted my friend.

I think most people gain from IV fluids. It goes away in the first week.

Well, it did come off, just took a few days. I'm 10 days out from surgery, and I am down 8 lbs from pre-op weight. Doing very well, too! Didn't need to fill my pain script, and only took one of my nausea script. Only 4 days until I'm off of full liquids, and I CAN'T WAIT!

      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!
