there are a couple, but these two came to mind right away- walk as soon as you're able to, ask someone to help you if necessary. also, follow your post op directions to a "T"

If you have children, DO NOT lift them. Do not lift anything over 10 lbs because i lifted my 10 month old, and i made my biggest insicion hurt way more than it had to. Don't cheat on your liquid diet, because most of the time it IS painful. Drink your Water, drink your protein...thats all i got, good luck!

definately walk if possible and if not then make sure you flex and point your feet throughout the day because after any surgery you could develop blood clots so make sure to move your legs even if your in the bed. Don't lift anything to heavy and if you have to cough try to put a pillow against your belly it won't hurt as much.

      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.

        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!
