Had surgery at noon, can I have popsicles?



Recommended Posts

When I went home today (about 4pm) the nurse gave me some little medicine cups and said I could slowly sip Water out of them tonight. I'm doing fine with that, but I'm starving, so I had a sugar free popsicle. I did fine with that and now I want another lol. Is that ok? Will I somehow over do it on my first night? I'm probably being silly but I am so scared I'll screw things up lol. Thanks in advance!

I had to stay overnight when I had surgery in June (as per insurance policy), and SF popsicles were on my tray for every meal. I'd say you're fine sucking on them today and tomorrow.

Thank you that makes me feel so much better. I figured they didn't mean for me to just have Water all day but I was too groggy to ask lol.

The popsicles and very cold ice Water will help keep the swelling down. Stay with the very cold stuff. I also kept an ice pack on my stomach off and on for longer than they said and I think it really helped.

      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.

      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!
