Funny thing is' date=' prior to surgery I never liked ice or anything too cold for that matter. I always went with room temp liquids. However, now ice has become one of my favorites. I am in love with the sugar free tropical flavored popsicle. Yum. Feel better!

Thank You! I'm feeling much better! I go on power walks and I'm doing just fine!

I have hit a stall! I think because TOM, but I don't care I'm still thankful for my current progress. I lost 13lbs in 12 days post opt and 26 total from my starting weight! Again I'm happy! Praise God!

OMG' date=' i just ate a grape!! I totally forgot for that 1 second. I'm still on the liquid diet for another week.[/quote']

I forgot I can't "gulp" Water and on Sunday while running errands I had forgot my handy candy cup that doesn't allow gulping so I got a bottle of Water at the gas station and took two giant drinks and the pain didn't hit until the second was on its way down. Needless to say I switched back to my cup after that.

What's a candy cup?

Well, I'm more worried about not being able to eat the grape since I'm not supposed to eat any solids for another 4 weeks. I don't want to have eruption of the staples :/

I had the runs 3x a day for the first 2wks. Then Constipation for 10day after being switched to stage 3. Now I am pretty regular.

I did the same thing last night. I was distracted while taking my reflux meds and took a big gulp of water. It hurt as it went down but only for a few seconds. Then there was a lump, like a marble, in my throat. It's just below my breast bone and I feel it mostly when swallowing. It doesn't hurt and I have no trouble swallowing liquids. It is very uncomfortable. I've tried gas-x, warm broth and walking. Nothing is helping. It's been 14 hours now. I'm getting a bit worried. I hope I didn't mess something up. I wonder if I should go to the ER or maybe call my Dr. Any suggestions or similar experiences?

      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!
