Not sure I did the right thing

I don't have the support I need and the pain is terrible. If there is anyone who can understand and relate to my situation please reply.

I may not be the best person to reply, but I can tell you that the first week for me was the hardest! I didn't have pain, but I couldn't drink! I craved Water so bad, but I just COULD NOT drink. I am now 12 days post op, and things are 95% better. I can drink with no problem and I have started eating. I still get tired easily, but each day is a little better. Hang in there, you will do great. One day at a time!!!

Hi I'm 3 days post op and still very sore, each day it has got a little better but my advice would be to keep up the pain medicine, I was trying to be brave and not have the strong stuff last night and wish I had now, make sure haven't got a temperature with the pain in case it's an infection, we will get through this then we can Celebrate life!

Thank you so much 😊 for responding and I will keep up with my pain medication. It's too late for regrets so I will try to be more positive!

I am almost 5 months out and it gets better I promise. I was hurting for the first 3 weeks after surgery, but each day I could do more.

Don't sit around, try to do extra each day and you will heal quicker and you will generally feel better.

you can do 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'. ???

        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!
