'Normal' is subjective...

But what you're experiencing is certainly not uncommon...

You're body is going to rebel in some manner because you're suddenly depriving it of the sugary/salty/carby/whatevery goodness that it's been used to...

You will probably get thru it without too much if a problem but if it persists, contact your medical support team...

Good luck with it...

Keep us posted...

By day 4-5 I was calling my surgeons office and telling them that my blood sugar was too low and I was not going to make it. Basically told to hang in there, I would be ok. They were right. By day 7 it leveled off. I survived. It is soooo hard!!! But you've got this!!!

How long is your preop plan for?

Days 2-4 into 5 are the worst days. At least it was for me. Once you get over the hump it's relatively smooth sailing afterwords.

In a few short weeks I get to do it all over again.

I went to my doctor today and I told them I was feeling fatigue and tired so the nutritionist told me to buy sea salt baleine that supposably helps for tiredness and fatigue

Hey girl,

I was super tired too for my 2 weeks. Cold turkey off caffeine, sugar, food (well the food I liked to eat) and pot had me all kinda of moody. By day 5 I was okay. I cheated twice, but was proud of myself for getting through it.

You got this!!!!

      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!
