hopeful,

It is understandable to be worried, I was; and I have had a few more surgeries than I wanted. From what I have been told by my doc is that the higher you BMI the more likely you will have a fatty liver. My liver shrink diet was 2 weeks and not really to bad, I have an off center lifestyle that has me in a bar 5 nights a week, menu chocie is limited. Since I could have veggies and lean meat, I would get a garden salad with chicken and be very careful of the amount that I ate. I was happy to "drink" dinner but not every place would let me bring in outside food or drink. My doc said my liver looked good, I had lost about 15lbs. in the two weeks. I did fine in recovery, as soon as my eyes opened they were there with ice chips and talking to me. When got to my room, I was able to get in the chair without aid within 30 minutes, and continued the ice chips until they ran the GI

test which went fine. I had juice when I went back to the room, for dinner I was on full liquids. My doc put in place a medication delivery system called On-Q, this was in until my second day home. I slept on my side the first night, went home and didn't get the script filled for pain. I went out that night and every night without problems. I didn't need any other pain meds. The gas kicked in the second night but walking eased it and it stayed with me about a week and a half. I have had no problems from the surgery and I know it's only been just shy of a month but all has been good. I had an issue with a hardboiled egg, but I learned to slow down when eating real quick. You will do just great and try not to worry to much. I am down from a 22 to a 16 jean :welldoneclap:

      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!
