What was your worst day?



Recommended Posts

Had RNY Monday morning. Was doing well enough to head home Tuesday afternoon. Sipped as much as I could but it's like as soon as it hits my stomach I need to burp to make it go down. It's slightly painful but overall not terrible. The incision pain is annoying at best.

I feel super sluggish today on day 3 and I know that's to be expected but when does the pain of swallowing stop into the belly or the burping to get it down?

Hi. Congrats on a smooth start! What you've described is part of the process. I'm post sleeve 5wks, and at first I could only get down sips and burped too. Dont remember it being painful, but i took my pain meds as told so that may be why. Remember your stomach was just cut and rearranged so your gonna feel twinges here and there while it and nerves heal.

Now that I'm on regular foods I find that burping is a trigger to tell me to stop. I can eat more but when i do, i feel uncomfortable and have to wait for the burp to come to feel better. Other signs of fullness early on are running nose, sneezing, and hiccups. In my first 3 weeks my nose ran when I drank or ate anything.😄

      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'. ???

      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!
