Definitely bring slippers to the hospital with you. Because all you will be doing is walking and sleeping.
Don't forget to take before pictures and do your measures. Really help when you hit stalls and scale don't move.
First two week after surgery it will be hard to even take sips. Only thing that I could get down is Atkins lift Protein Water. Lemon one my favorite. It's at big Lots right now for 2 dollars a 4 pack. They are usually 10 dollars. I got these mini 2oz red solo cups to keep track of liquids intake after surgery. 2 oz every 15 minutes. Just remember to sip sip sip. 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.

      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!
