I'm a little over one week out now. Very little pain from the beginning. My biggest problem was walking the gas off, lol. I don't feel very different yet. I'm not hungry but I've got a schedule and I'm sticking to that so I can get all my fluids and Proteins in. I expect that I'll be able to tell more when I transition to solid foods next week. Right now I'm doing 2 shakes a day, one meal and a snack. I'm trying to keep the Protein first so my Snacks are something with Protein like string cheese. I've got sugar free Popsicles and Jello but so far I haven't eaten any. I'm kind of surprised to find that since the shakes a sweet, what I crave is savory so no Jello or Popsicles.

I lost pretty well pre op, and still have some swelling and fluids but was down 9 lbs and 4" since my pre-op appointment. I deliberately didn't buy a set of scales yet because I know I get crazy and will be on them every few minutes. I'm beginning to get excited tho, I am anxious to see where this journey takes me.

Day after tomorrow I transition to solid foods, meaning I can finally get some meat. I must really be a carnivore because meat sounds so good. I will be able to have fish, shrimp, pork and chicken. I'm sooo looking forward to a piece of chicken.

So far, I've tolerated everything I've tried but I really concentrate on Protein so am mostly eating eggs, cheese, some Beans. I have done very small amounts of mashed potatoes, maybe 2 teaspoons, and cream of wheat for one small snack and they were good but like I said, I'm mostly working on Proteins.

I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and I'm on blended foods. I eat a lot of Soup as long as I blend first. The string cheese sounds delicious I might try that I've also eaten a lot of guacamole with my Soups it gives me some added flavor. I would take it easy on the solid foods a week out your scar is still vulnerable to tearing. Good luck.

The day after tomorrow I'll begin my 3rd week. I've been really careful to follow my doctors instructions, and will continue to be super cautious when trying new foods. I've heard way too many scare stories to be careless now.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
