eating /drinking before sleep and pain



Recommended Posts

i am on my third week from the operation and i realized i have to have my last meal at least 2 hours before i go to sleep, otherwise i have abdominal pain and cramps when i lay down. so i just do not eat anything after 8 o clock and that is ok with me.

but the problem is that the same thing happens to me if i drink prior to sleeping so i guess i should not also drink anything2 hours before sleep?

weel that is heavy to me since i am thirsty in that period of time. i also wake up at night thursty but i am afraid to drink becuse of the pain. what shell i do?

i am metionig one more time that i do not have any troubles or pains with food or drink during the day- only when i lay down.

Call your doctor he is the one that should be advising you about what is causing the pain.

I get that as well as I like to have Water at bedside table for during the night. I do get gas pains though and have to stand up and walk around and try to burp - that seems to be the only way to get rid of the pain. I also get cramps in the side and flip to the other side to sleep - seems to help.

      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!
