Me exhausted guys! All I want to do is sleep. That can't be normal.

I'm taking the multi Vitamin, I'm hydrated, and I'm trying to get my Protein in with ease. Its been a little rough because nothing tastes good.

I'm not sure if I don't have enough nutrition in my body or if I'm possibly throwing a little pitty party because I'm starving and am craving something with substance. 5 days post op today.

Excuse my typos, autocorrect has a mind of its own!

Maybe a little bit of a pity party but I suspect it has more to do with you just needing to recuperate from surgery. People think that because it's laproscopic and you are home the same day it's not a big deal. Well..it is a big deal and you need time to feel normal again. And yes, just consuming liquids is tough. You will feel more satisfied with actual food..this is just the time where you have to tough it out unfortunately. Hang in there...you will feel better and all this will become a distant memory.

Day 6, 7, & 8 were my worse. You may need to increase your nutrition a bit to get to feeling better. I felt like a wet noodle on those days, I increased my food intake a little and it made all the difference in the world. By day 10 I felt very normal.

Hi there. Today is day 10 after surgery and now I feel great. Since I had surgery, if I felt tired I just took a nap. I think walking helped alot but it is natural to feel tired after surgery. I also agree that just being on the liquids does make you feel a lack of energy. Just a few more days until mushies!!!

      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!
