I had an unexplained ulcer back in June! Follow what your surgeon says! Mine put me on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks' date=' Carafate for 4 months, and has watched me pretty closely ever since!

Mine will watch over me too for awhile! They said a long as liquids are good I can do soft foods for a while. Nothing rough or hard or even fresh veggies/fruits.

Yep! That was me too.....My doctor just now took me off Carafate, but told me if I have the same symptoms as before, to get right back on it! Soft foods were my best friend after mine found my ulcer!

How scary. I am glad that you got help fast and you are now on the way to recovery. I wonder what causes some to get ulcers and not others. This whole journey is such a learning experience.

Glad to hear that you're doing better and good for you for getting help quickly. Ulcers can often be controlled with diet so no cheating on the diet your doctor gave you! The sooner you get better the sooner you can get back to a regular diet!!

I had excruciating stomach pain for over a week. No tarry stools, but excruciating stomach pain. Because of the pain, I dumped everything I ate and drank. It was torture!

Thanks DL :) I'll stick to what they tell me which is add protine powder to everything! Lol I'm doin carafate in the am, then my acid meds, then having cream of wheat in the am with skin milk and protine powder, then a protine shake, then Soup with added protine powder, then another shake, and then something soft like soup for dinner with protine powder added. I'll be doing this for 6 weeks :/ as long as I get better it's whatever!

      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!
