I am 4 days post op and progressing well. I am sipping liquids, Protein, broth, and popsicles. I'm belching a lot and have the stomach rumbling after every sip and sometimes pain.

I have hypoglycemia and that those symptoms are what I'm feeling now. I'm trying to stick with "doctor's orders" and so far, so good. If anyone has experienced this what did you do to help the symptoms?

My second day of pre-op liquid diet I ate an egg and then everything settled down I was able to complete my 2 week liquid diet. I have some time before I'm supposed to introduce puree foods......is there something I can do to help with these symptoms? Nausea meds are not helping and the Protein isn't helping either.

Thanks so much!

The gas (both up and down) is completely normal. Also, the weird gurgles and squeaks too. It will all start calming down about a week out.

i'll try the applesauce and see if that helps. I just want the hypoglycemia symptoms to stop. I know that everything is on track......just need to find a way to get through this part.

Thanks!

      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!
