I am 3 days post-op and am doing quite well except for diarrhea this afternoon. I am keeping fluids down and am drinking constantly. Anyone else expereince this? Anything to worry about?

I am really hungry and am on Clear Liquids for another 4 days.

Malt-O-Meal is calling me!!!

I'm fully aware my eating habits will change dramatically.

What I'm wondering is I ever be able to eat a piece of pizza, a salad, a burger or anything yummy like this in the future?

Postop diarrhea is very common--I was told to expect it. Not much fun, but nothing to worry about :thumbup:

gracie..i'm sure burgers and pizza will be in our future...but instead of a double quarter pounder we will be able to get a lil cheeseburger instead....tht is what i'm looking forward to..that way i won't 'crave' things i will just have a bite or two. I absolutely love churchs chicken..i could eat 5 pieces in one sitting..now if i were to buy some..I'd get maybe a drumstick. that is a big difference...:thumbup:

i'm 8 days post op and am still on liquids. I get to start 'mushies' on sat...i can't wait!!!

      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!
