I feel even better today. I am finding it a bit difficult to drink my liquids. You don't realize how much air you swallow with every sip until you don't really have a stomach. I can't imagine how hard it's going to be once I'm able to eat soft foods next week. lol Any tips?

I haven't been hungry one time and I'm completely shocked about that. One of the nurses pre-surgery told me she's had many patients call her and say they can't do it because they're so hungry. I do get concerned that I don't really let myself get full, but I'm never hungry. So I don't really know what's in store for me next week. Anybody else feel that? I told the PA that the other day and she told me that I'm way over thinking it and I don't even know what full is yet.

As far as movement, I'm getting tons of walking in. I'm going to the park and walking a couple laps around a pond 2x a day. I don't know if it's too much, but the Dr said the best thing to do is walk as much as I can, and get my 60+ oz of fluids in per day.

      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.

      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!
