I have been swallowing Water in a more normal fashion than I thought I would be since the first week post-op, but now, at Day 26 post-op, I would almost characterize drinking Water as "normal" for me. When I was able to introduce Premier Protein shakes at Day 10 post-op, though, it took me about 2 hours to drink one. Now, I can drink one in about 20 minutes.

I count my blessings about the water, though, as I have read about many people who are still sipping weeks out from surgery.

Never had a issue drinking Water after day 1... Fast or slow. Easy recovery here, but that worried me... Felt like I didn't have the surgery. I am a band to sleeve revision so things may be a little different for comparison purposes.

I still have to sip :( I took a gulp on accident 7 days post op and it hurt so bad. It literally takes me half a day to drink 12oz because I'm constantly sipping, sipping, sipping.

I'm able to take normal sips too. I had a rough first few days but doing well at 6 days post-op.

I can drink completely normal and I'm 12 days post op but I've been able to drink normal since like 7 days. I kinda got nervous when my surgeon emphasized sipping all day so I at least get my Water in and said "since you can't just drink a glass of water" but I could and didn't say anything because I thought I was doing something wrong

      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!
