Surgery 8/21



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

My name is Amy and I am 4 days post-op. I have lost 10.8 pounds since the liquid diet a week prior to my surgery. I can not wait to get the the soft food stage and actually be able to chew my food again. Good luck to you all :)

Hi Amy!

Hope you are starting to feel better! I thought that honestly around day 5/6 I was actually feeling myself again (well as much as can be expected)! Good luck on your journey and we are all right there with you! I am 10 days out and still on liquids....

I too had my surgery on the 21st! I am down 15 pounds since starting the preop diet. I am 6 days post op and woke up feeling great. I still have a little pain where my port side is but not too much. THis is the first time in a long time that I am feeling good about myself. THis was the best decision for me!

I feel the same way. As of today I'm down 14.8 pounds and feel great. I have pain where the port is also mostly if I'm bending down to pick up the kids toys, lol, and getting out of bed. Like you I'm feeling better everyday.I'm so excited to be on this journey.

      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!
