Post Op Check up/Next Phase Begins



Recommended Posts

Just got home from my first post op check up with the Doc. He says I am doing very well and to continue to listen to him and follow the plan. They took my stitches out and want to see me in 3 weeks. I started the full liquids phase today and so far doing well with that. I have had 2 ounces of baby oatmeal and 2 ounces of ff cream of chicken Soup today. I also had 3 ounces of Atkins Advantage shake today. No where near the 60 grams of Protein the plan calls for, but the doc didn't seem real concerned about the protein yet. Water is good, and my body looks forward to it. I sip all day, aside from before and after meals. I was down to my pre op weight today, after my hospital Fluid gain, so the weight lost from today on will be true post surgery weight loss. Thinking positive and looking forward to the future.

All take care,

I am not sure what you mean about an all day session. I didn't have anything like that.

      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!
