Recommended Posts

Im getting ready to start my walking. This is more painful than I expected, please reassure me that this is normal. When I swallow gatorade 2 or Water it burns like I have an ulcer. Ugh!

I also had my surgery on the 15th, I'm home now and trying to walk as much as possible. I splint my stomach with a small pillow while I'm walking and that helps with the pain.

All normal!!! Tiny sips burnt like HELL.

Gas pain was AGONY.

I was tearfull & full of regret.

Day 11 post op & I feel completely recovered!! Eating three small liquid meals & drinking plenty.

Take it easy on yourself you will recover beautifully if you give yourself no expectations other than to rest up & take things steady.

      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!
