Mornings are HARD! Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days post op and having a really hard time. I'm having what feels like extreme heartburn usually happens about 10 seconds after I drink but sometimes happens when I move suddenly (like get up or bend down). Called the doctor Friday he put me on Levsin for spasms and Nexium for acid reflux (which I never chronically had before maybe 4x a year tops). And when I wake up first thing in the morning the nausea is so bad I gag like I'm going to throw up. I take nausea medicine and it goes away within 15-20 min. I'm wondering, did anyone else have all of this? How long did it take to go away? I can't imagine living like this the rest of my life. Please help!

I am about three weeks post op have to take prepaid for 6 months but I just had to get a refill on my nausea meds. I only have to take nausea meds in the morning generally after that I'm good so it could last a little while but I was told should go away soon. I still have tightness and burning sometimes when I drink so I'm going to ask my Dr about that, I'm already on the prepaid wouldn't think I should have that problem.

Thank you millerlillygirl. I'm so scared I've done something I shouldn't have. I have small children and I really need to get back on track. Let me know what your doctor says about the tightness, please? I'm going to call mine again tomorrow.

I took nausea medication for about two solid weeks after my surgery. I also had horrible pain in my chest after drinking the first few weeks. I had to take very tiny sips, slowly and experiment with different types of fluids. Plain Water made the pain worse.
It does get better after your stomach is healed.
Good luck

      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!
