Anyone have horrible lower back ache during the pre op diet? I'm on Day 3 and I know the headaches are caffeine withdrawal but this painful backache is scaring me. I was a 2-3 day glass of wine drinker. Any ideas? Should I take a Tylenol pm? It feels as if I've slept in bed with a 3 yr old. Help please :(

Do you seem dehydrated? That could be your kidneys hurting........ This is just a guess on my part, so don't take it too seriously. Maybe increase Water intake and see if that helps.

Yes, I though it was just my nerves and stress, but mine hit 9 days in. I'm plenty hydrated, drinking 15 glasses of Water a day. I'm on Tylenol and using a heating pad. The heating pad has been the big healer for me so far.

Thanks thanks Prettynpink1982 I so appreciate it. I think it may be my Water intake. I really don't have any but I'm on it now, I sometimes used to get so dehydrated, then medical center and i.v. It was. But that's something I have to stop doing. But thank you

      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!
