Oh my Gosh that was me. I had a hernia repair too & I felt the same way I just stayed on liquids until that nausea passed. I'm 4/12 weeks out. It will go away in time I would eat lots of sugar free Popsicles & cold stuff.

I am scheduled for july 2. I have to have a h. hernia repair as well. Does this significantly increase the recovery time and make for more pain? I am just curious as to what I should expect. Also, as for a grocery list...what will I need from the store to keep me full???

This info. is good to know I am 1 week out and I had a hernia removed as well. I have not experienced a great deal of nausea yet. Of course I still have a week on the full liquids. Popsicles are very satisfying for me as well.

I had a surprise h.hernia repair thrown in with my sleeve, lol. I don't think it increased recovery time. My biggest hurdle was the incision that my surgeon said he had to cut a muscle to pull stomached through. But it's been two weeks today and it feels pretty good, virtually no discomfort.

Attached is my food progression list my surgeon wants me to follow.

Today I had oatmeal, only ate a 4th of the packet. I also had bake potato today, was only able to eat a 4th of that also. Both things sat well in my new stomached.

I'm looking forward to tuna Fish Day!!! Lol

From what I understand... when the doctors go in to do the sleeve... they are repairing the hernia that already exists. A hiatus hernia or hiatal hernia is the protrusion (or herniation) of the upper part of the stomach into the thorax through a tear or weakness in the diaphragm.

Is that something that happened pre-surgery? Is that from GERD or something. How on earth would you know you had that?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
