Had surgery on April 27th. With hernia repair as well. I can't stomach the Protein Shakes or Water and only been able to get in about 50-60 oz of liquid. I stay so nauseous , burp a lot, hiccups, and when I do try something by mouth it feels like it is trapped between my breast and chest. Any answers or suggestions please!!!! Very stressed!

Have you spoken to your surgeon's office? The first few weeks were rough and I had a massive hiatal hernia repair (as well as gallbladder removal). I think that weird feeling of there being an alien inside my esophagus went away around 12 weeks. I didn't have much nausea. Are you on any anti-nausea pills? And what about antacids? Are you on a prilosec or something like that?

I hiccupped a LOT when recovering from the surgery. I was told it was from the hiatal hernia repair and maybe if my stomach is too full.

Have you tried the Unjury chicken Soup? that was something I was able to stomach pretty well.

Hang in there, it gets better!! Recovery isn't easy for everyone and the more you had done the harder it is. Walk walk walk walk walk. Even just slowly around the house. That will help as well.

I have talked to my surgeon. He prescribed me phenagran and it helps a little. I'm just so over the sweet Jello and popcicles! Thank you for replying!!

      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!
