Home from the hospital today. They kept me an extra day due to not being able to pee. Feel pretty good, just sore because of the hernia he fixed. I am getting hungry but not ravenous. I did gain 6lbs but that must be from swelling and Water weight. If anyone has any suggestions as to what to eat during the Clear Liquids stage other than broth, popsicles, chrystal light, G2, the usual would be greatly appreciated.

Surgery was Tuesday and I was released today. Surgery had no complications but because I was so nauseated I had to stay because I was not meeting my Fluid intake. Remember, sip, sip, sip.

I had my surgery on Monday and it wasnt near as bad as i thought it was going to be came home yesterday and slept almost all night. Im only taking pain eds at night so I can get a good nights sleep. getting all my liquids and Protein in is far from where it needs to be but im doing much better than i did while in hospital. One day at at time and I will get there! I hope all my other September sleevers and any other month for that matter are doing well!

I'm on September 23rd in San Antonio. I'm getting scared of who I'll see in the mirror a few months after surgery. I'm also getting excited.

I came home yesterday...I had the worst gas pain.....once I had bowel movement I started to feel btter. Gas x is my best friend. I am walking a lot and sipping slow. Started full liquid today. The premiere Protein Shake is really good. Also remember to move...the pain does get easier.

Im not thats just it LOL Ive only been getting in about 24 oz a day. I know my Dr doesnt expect me to come straight home and be able to go straight to drinking 64 oz a day. While in hospital I only had one bite of Jello, one sip of broth and one sip of crystal light at each feeding and had nothing at all my last meal there I was packing to head home and didnt even touch it! I know it will all come in time and Im not to worried at this point.Oh and by the way the worst part for me was where I had my surgery at they weigh you before you go home I gained 11 pounds while there due to all the fluids in the iv.

      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!
