Fluids and Food ... Questions!



Recommended Posts

I had my revision on April 16th. I have seen a lot of comments about individuals not being able to get their fluids in. I have had no problem getting my fluids in from the beginning and have started on soft (pureed) foods and am feeling good. I have not ate much when I do, but am having no problems (except some stomach acid).

Is there anyone else who is feeling this good and not having problems with Fluid or food? I seem to read all about the problems and wonder if something is wrong that I am not having any???

What's a revision? I just came out the hospital from being sleeved today and this liquid diet is not doing it for me. Neither are the Protein Shakes. I am super hungry and wonder what I'm doing wrong. I shouldn't be this hungry. I also have no issues getting liquid down.

I am having a lot of trouble getting fluids in. When I did the upper GI at the hospital the barium got stuck. I had to keep dry swallowing to get it to down. Then he showed me how swollen my stomach was. Right now I am not hungry at all. I'm sure I will be when the swelling goes down.

@@jennafah make sure you are drinking enough fluids, also ask your doc about a ppi if you are not on one already.

Thirst or reflux can cause you to feel hungry.

      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!
