Same here, can't stand broth! I'm no where near 64oz but enough to keep me hydrated. I've been fine until last night, my stomach is really sore and it feels like my whole body is vibrating. I feel really tight in my entire abdominal cavity. I'm sitting now with a heat pack on my whole stomach and sipping some hot tea, hopefully that will help.

The pain from that post passed and I have been fine for the past few days. Still a bit tired but I've been able to do some chores, errands and keep up with the kids. Usually needing a nap each day but that'll get better too.

Hope you're feeling better too!

Had surgery on August 27th, spent one night in hospital. I admit that I was unbelieveably miserable for the first 2 days, but I improved very quickly after that. (I have fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease affecting my back) Lost 10 lbs pre-surgery, 17 lbs in the 2 weeks since. 4 inches from my waist!!

I can feel cool items go through my stomach, really weird! I keep Water next to me all day and sip a little at a time - but still only getting about 48 oz, but it is increasing.

I am ready for something better than broth!! I am soooo sick of broth... Get to start soft foods today and I have to start worrying about Protein.

Sorry to hear that Kelly. I am doing ok now. Spent the first three weeks in and out of hospital for dehydration due to swelling. Weight was going up and down during that time but steadily going down now

Kelly thank you for your kind words. Every once and awhile i get that twinge of regret but i keep saying it can't be this bad forever. Still having a hard time with keeping things in and definitely not getting anywhere near enough fluids

      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!
