I had the opposite problem. I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder if you could take something for it. Usually the pain meds make you constipated. I would call your doctor and let him/her know what is going on.

For the first few days I spent a lot of time in the bathroom it got better within a week. I also started to use benefiber so that I would'nt go too far the other way.

I too had this problem it lasted until I was on Full liquids. And still a little bit afterward too. I also used benifiber to help tighten things up ha ha...

Ended up calling the doctor this am. They had me go to the emergency room to be tested for an infection. So far all tests are okay and they gave me a prescription for diarrhea and hooked me up to an IV for fluids. Using immodium until I can get my prescription filled....still no change but only been on it for 4 hours..

I too spent a lot of time in the bathroom. I think for me it was the Protein Shakes that were doing it to me. I notice it even now when I do Protein shakes for at least two meals. So, it could be your protein shakes maybe.

      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!
