Glad it went smoothly for you! What you just described pretty much sums up my experience as well. I did walk a lot in the hospital but I am finding it more difficult today with it being my first day home. Wishing and hoping that the gas pains go away for the both of us! Good luck!

The past 2 days I've finally been able to keep food down! Slowly getting better. The doc said I needed to eat "real" foods, but they kept making me puke...so I was on liquids for longer than normal. Yesterday I had solid food, and it was amazing..just the actual chewing part is what I missed lol also- down a total of 44

Lbs since surgery which was 2/2

I am on full Soups. Any and all ingredients. It's liberating to have some variety in what I can eat. Idk. solid food is challenging to me. It's uncomfortable so I actually choose liquids sometimes. I am excited that my sweet tooth has not returned. I crave salt. I'm excited overall.

Today has been an off day. Haven't been able to keep anything down. Only thing I have ate is the Protein and less than half an egg which is weird since I can always finish the egg. Anyone has days like this?

Here's how to join:

1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/lanaepetersen and send me a friend request

      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!
