No antibiotics... They gave me like 3 full bags in the hospital . I stayed overnight. I'm on liquid pain meds and nausea meds.

I haven't experienced that yet . I've been passing the gas by walking as much as I can. I just took my pain meds. I this it's all kicking in now. I've been on my liquid diet. It's a lil hard to get all my broth down .

Day 2 Post Op

Pain meds was a life saver ! I slept and woke up and walked through the night . I don't have an appetite at all. But I have to eat something. I can't get too much down. One piece of advice is to sip not gulp!!!!!

Gas is not excruciating but it's there... I'm just walking walking walking ! Like they said !

Thank you! I'm just ready for the soreness to go away and I can start walking in the gym. I'm still a bit confused on my diet . I'm getting a long quite well. Getting out of the bed by myself and fixing my own food. I am going thru an emotional ride hoping that I have as much success as the other people...

I just realized making my own sugar free Jello is better than store bought ready made .

Did you have to get staples?

      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!
