So I took like three table spoons of no fat no sugar ice cream and melted it with some Protein on top. Kinda foamy mixture. Four bites and I felt funny so I stopped eating it. Funny like too much air. About a half hour later I'm having a weird crampy pain in the center of my chest like where my sternum is. Anyone else have this happen? I'm 7 days post op

I am 4 months out and ice cream/frozen yogurt is one of the few things I can not tolerate. It makes me feel awful!!!!

Ice cream, etc is on my avoid list until at least 6 weeks out... I wouldn't do that again for a while!!

Yeah, my list of what I could eat at 1 week post op was pretty small, and it didn't include ice cream. I really think that restrictive list helped me reset my way of eating. I'm 4 months out and can eat just about anything, but I've surprisingly developed new habits, and I still avoid high fat, high calorie foods. It's about changing our eating habits. I probably could eat ice cream, but I ever think about doing it! That's a little shocking me, but I attribute it to those early days post op. Don't get me wrong - it's still a learning curve and I am in no way claiming to be perfect - you are doing the right thing by realizing you are changing, too! Congratulations on your recent surgery, I wish you continued success :)

      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!
