Still In The Hospital... But..



Recommended Posts

I am still in the hospital getting a bunch of crap put into to me. Turned out that I was out of carbs and sugars and my body wasn't working right because of that and I was like in a mode of starvation pretty much. My doctor did say that I am able to start phase 2 of my diet which includes pureed foods! I am so happy! I just gotta take it slow!

How did u know this was happening what symtom did u have?

i came in because I was short of breath. They discharged me later saying it is just my lungs not opening all the way and to use the breathing thing they gave me the day of my surgery ever 5-10 mins. I went home at 7p. I got a call around 9:30p that night saying that my electrolytes we messed up and to come in and stay over night. I had my surgery Nov. 2nd. They said this isn't normal at this stage for me. Not sure why it happened to me.

      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.

      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!
