I take a Fiber pill three times a week and the directions say to drink it with a full 8oz of Water. I just wrote a blog post "everyone poops, until they can't" for this very reason :) If you have a strong stomach, I suggest reading it. I promise you will NEVER forget to take your Fiber after you read it! :)

I'm regular, but not doing anything special. I do use a Squatty Potty, though.

Was really backed up and had a Fiber one bar...it worked, like the everready bunny... going n going. Now, I rotate stool softener one day, half a fiber one cheesecake bar the next day. So far so good and steady weightloss. Just don't do the dumb sh!t i did n had a few of my nieces Mc D's french fries last week. 5 min later it was explosive. Now i know better. Don't judge me, nobodys perfect. Cleaned me out though. Lol.

Surgeon's RN told be to take Miralax in 8 oz liquid every day for right now. Almost 4 weeks out. Take simethicome chewable tablets as needed for trapped gas and 2 Pepcid a day 1 in the am and the other later in the day. This all helped me so very much. Pooping every day and Protein is very constipating, gas is under much better control and the indigestion is under control. I want to encourage you to call your doctor's office get their recommendations for helping yourself feel better! You can do this! Health and healing to you and God bless you!

      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!
