6 days post op and still not in the groove of things



Recommended Posts

Getting back to school is important but at this point so am I. I was worried about missing days before surgery now I'm grateful for the days I attend lol. My setback yesterday is just another trying obstacle in my path. Now I'm really going to focus on healing.

@ you're doing very well. 6 days post op I was just lying in a ball on my bed and struggling to get up and moving. It takes time and everyone heals differently but you're doing well.

Once you're on week 2 and 3 of your diet it gets a little easier. As I'm 2 weeks post op I'm starting to feel less fatigued. I'm supposed to go back to work on Monday and since I'm a nurse I'm worried it might be a little too much for me. Either way I have to brave it out. You can do it! You've done great so far!! Keep drinking and keep up that Protein.

      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!
