I am having so much trouble getting all my Water in. While trying to get in 5 small meals a day and not drinking with meals, time is limited to get in the water. How are you all doing it??

I drank from the time I woke up till the minute I fell asleep. I kind of set mini goals, too....16oz before I went to work. Another 16 oz before lunch, another 16oz before the end of the workday and the last 16oz before going to bed. I Kept a easy-to-sip-from bottle with me at all times and grabbed it every chance I had. It was a full time job and I was really sick of HAVING to drink all the time, but I just kept doing it. I got my 64oz fluids in everyday but it was WORK. It finally got easier after 3-4 months. Some people have set an alarm on their phones or watches to take a sip every 5-10 minutes. My drinking/eating restrictions were nothing 5 min before or 45 min after. Maybe this was easier than the typical 30 min/30 min. ???

It's an all day long thing, I've been getting in between 4 & 5 8oz glasses. I'm drinking the Premier Protein and only get two (30g protein) in. But I have got a cup of creamy Soup and a cream of wheat in and I'm stuffed!! 11 days post-op.

      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.

      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!
