So I am 3 days out and am trying my hardest to get my Fluid in (cant even think about Protein yet). I can only seem to keep my Water down if i drink it while walking. If I am standing or am siting while drinking the pain of it moving into my tummy is almost unbearable and the nausea comes on full force. Does this end, will i be able to sit and sip soon?

I know i still have a lot of gas roaming around inside me still and my upper back is killing me. Is the gas causing the drinking issue too?

Anyone have any suggestions about helping with back pain as well?

Tmi time....but boy i would love to have a nice big toot[emoji20]

Just walk. That is the only way you are going to get relief from the gas pain. It isn't normal gas, it is the gas they use to raise your organs to make surgery easier. Just walk.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Not everyone does. If walking is the way to get in your Water, then walk away! Please consult your surgical team too. Good luck!

I also found it easier to sip as I walked. Within a couple more days it will get better. Congrats on the surgery!

Try varying the temperature of what you are drinking. Sometimes, I needed room temperature. Sometimes ice cold. Often within hours of each other. You've 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.

      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.

      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!
