How many oz of liquid are u getting a day? Seems like I sipped all day and still didn't make it over 30 oz. I don't want to get dehydrated.

Well it's almost 8 pm and I'm at 28 oz. This is impossible!

Not today but they did itch yesterday. The "glue", or whatever it's called, is starting to peel off of one. The sites actually feel pretty good, except one that has a bruise all around it. My friend said that the site hurt bad for about 4 days and then it subsides. How are your feeling?

Feeling pretty good. Sipping is a full time job. The op sites still have glue but also a little red and itchy. I have a red whelmed itchy stripe under each boob...looks like they pulled off tape. Trying to keep ice packs on to help with itching. Mouth is always dry. Tongue feels weird and I'm bored. Other than that...I'm good. How have u been?

I have that same itchy stripe under one boob. I freak out for a second and had my husband take a look at it. My mouth isn't really dry but I constantly have an awful taste. I started with Protein this morning. I'll have some yogurt in another 45 minutes. Sipping is a full time job. No wonder I had to take 3 weeks off work.

I ripped my strips off! They became itchy and come to find I'm allergic to them! But today is day 4 post op and I feel ok. I really need a belly band because I think most of my pain can and would be prevents of something held my stomach in place

Low grade fever is normal after surgery. Its our bodies way of dealing with the injury. If it gets to 101 them you should worry and call your surgeon at that point. Mine got as high as 99.9 a few days post op. Fever does make you feel bad so I did take Tylenol. Hope you a feeling on the mend soon.

      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.

        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!
