its hard, trust me I know. but its for your health. your stomach has gnoe through something traumatizing and it needs time to heal without trying to digest foods. stick to the liquids to avoid injury and it will get better with time.

I agree, I'm on full liquids this week so it's a teeny bit better than just Clear Liquids but I'm so hungry. My stomach growls all day long and I catch myself chewing my liquids lol. Tomorrow I'm going to buy some spicy Soup from a local Chinese restaurant and strain it, still not actual food but it's going to taste a lot better than the broth I have been eating. I'm actually looking forward to starting mushies on Monday so I can have chicken salad and eggs!

      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!
