HELP! I hurt when I drink,



Recommended Posts

I would say take the IV fluids! If your ins. is paying for DO IT!! You are probably already dehydrated and that plus the swelling is not good!

I was able to keep a liittle fluids down into my stomach this morning, I am hoping for a better day tomorrow.

Will it be possible to drink at least a 1/2 cup of a drink in a sitting little by little, what is the most that anyone can drink and how many weeks will I have to wait, I miss drinking a cold glass of Water....

My doctor had me on a sipping schedule after surgery. That gas they put in you makes you feel terrible. If you have the energy just walk too. That will help you to burp and get all that gas they put in you out. I hope you feel better. Just hang in there. One day at a time.

      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!
