You are not alone! I received 1 shot of morphine post-op...for shoulder pain from the surgery. I bounced back very quickly! I slept when tired and moved with the energy. 8 months later I still feel fabulous!

Man that's good that you feel well. Don't push yourself too much tho'. When I was a few days out I felt the same way and wound up pushing myself until my body reminded me that I had just had major surgery. Just listen to you'd body man, and you will be fine.

I'm post op a week now. Had surgery on 12/15/12. I haven't been on the pain meds since coming home. I do feel good and a little week at times. Lost 13lbs in this last week since surgery and am sipping away, getting my Water in and now able to get all the Protein in. I have pain by the incision by my belly button, however that is it. I've noticed since I'm getting more Protein the weight loss has went up to about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs a day (for now).

I agree listen to your body and don't overdue it. I'm 2 weeks out and my reminder comes when I wake up cuz I've been sleeping all over the place lol not a good start to the day! Take your time and enjoy the rest while you have it. Oh! And welcome to the losers bench!!

Looking forward to you story. And like others have said don't over do. glad you feel so good, but don't be shocked if there is a day here and there that you feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you, that happens. but then every day will be better and better.

      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!
