I am two months post-op and I eat whatever I choose but in very small amounts. It's important to focus on getting the Protein and Water though. When I first started on solid foods I went very slowly and carefully, just trying a little bit at a time to see how it tasted and felt. It has been kind of fun in a way, like rediscovering food all over again. I don't eat much bread but have eaten small amount of rice and Pasta without any problem. I have eaten some dessert items a few times too. Sometimes I've found intensely sweet things make me feel queasy, which is probably a good thing since I'm a big sugar junkie. Just take it slow and listen to your new tiny tummy tell you when it's full.

      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!
