Protein Drink has a lot of nutrients that will help, gartor aid I heard works well. I find hot Water is easier to go down. Do you have chewable vituims? be sure to have them daily. This is the tough time but it will get better. get your rest as much as possible your body is recovering it might just be its way to say take a nap.

You just had major surgery, give yourself a chance to recover. As you are able to eat more your energy will come back.

Sounds like you are doing everything right, it took me 2 weeks to get my strength back to what I considered normal.

As was said, you have had major surgery, take care of yourself. My son-in-law had his surgery on friday. He is walking and drinking lots of broth, e tc. I know the lack of chewing gets boring, but its only for a little while. Best wishes on your recovery.Karen

      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!
