Congratulations on your great start!!

Any time you advance your diet, it is scary. Take small spoonfuls and rest between, give your body time to react to the new items. You may find things that just don't agree, but don't give it up, just try it a little further down the road and see if anything is different.

YOu may feel & hear grumbling from your sleeve when you introduce new items but in my experience, that is normal. Every time I tried something new, it was like WHOA!! what's that -- not in a bad way, but I did have a reaction. Thankfully I had no issues with anything really, but I kept it mild and took it slow.

I was only able to get in a few ounces of soft foods, that has increased to about 4 oz. which is what I expected (I'm 6 months out)

Has it only been the last two days you have had trouble drinking? What , if anything has changed?

Best of luck to you!!

Yes, I am still afraid to eat things, gotta say eggs are not MY best friend unless they are hard boiled and mashed with a fork...

I'm afraid of a few things, glucerna made me dump... "that was so awful" I'm just so careful about what goes in my mouth.

I also have trouble getting liquids in with the restriction of no drinking 30 min before or after a meal... Makes it a challenge..

So I think you are very normal

Best wishes to 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!
