You must concentrate on liquids right now so you do not end up dehydrated. Most everyone has been in your shoes so do not feel alone!

It's very, very important that you stay hydrated during this period. Many people find cold Water doesn't work so they drink room temperature water. Also other warm drinks like tea and decaffinated tea can be very comforting. Whatever you drink, at this stage, just sip. Seriously. Really small sips. If you can sip an once every 15 minutes, you can build up from there. Your hunger is more likely to be thirst. This is a good way to find out. You say you're in the bathroom every hour. Make sure you stick to the liquids appropriate for your stage. Also a PPI (prescribed or OTC) can make a huge difference. I have to take mine twice a day. Ok. Let's see if you can start to feel better.

      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!
