New to site and 4 days post op



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Deborah and I am a 38 year old female who is happily married with an 11 year old daughter, and more importantly I am 4 days post op and I am feeling great. I am able to hold down my Water, Protein Shakes, pudding Jello and Soups. I have been up walking on my treadmill and around hte house trying to get this gas out of me. Thats been the hardest part for me, but otherwise I am doing great. I am a little sore though I still have to use my trusty pillow for comfort. I am so glad my friend told me about this site, I had my surgery before her and I dont have anyone to really talk to about mine, but she will have me and you guys to get answers from. If anyone wants to talk let me know.:wink2:

I am so excited to see you are doing all that right after surgery. I am only taking a week off work and I love to hear when people are feeling good right away.

This is a great group of people on this website. Make yourself at home. We are happy to have you.

Hi,

I am 2 days post op and starting to feel better today. I have the gas pain and it is tough, however I can deal. I feel sore and have a hard time getting comfortable, sitting and laying down. I am actually most comfortable standing. I am encouraged by the posts that as the days go on it gets better and better. The liquid diet sucks. I am feeling hunger pangs, but don't feel like another shake. The gas pains also bloat me and I don't feel like drinking much. Anyone else felt this way?

Sara

      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!
