I hate to say it but I think I am regretting my decision on having this procedure done! I was never felt sick after eating before I had this done. I am about 3 1/2 weeks out, it feels like it has been months. My surgery and recovery were uneventful so not sure what is up. I have 3 small children and I am always on the go with them I guess I just need to take a few extra minutes and prepare my meals or plan my meals out for the day.

I hope so. I know there is no turning back and I have a wonderful doctor. Just frustrated right now. How far out are you?

I got sick at about the same time because I was introducing new foods..I backed off to liquids for two days then started introducing foods slowly. It does get better. I'm six weeks out tomorrow and I feel totally different.I'm sorry you're not feeling well...but hang in there!

It does get better... Your still healing. It does help to be planful and eat at the same time each day. Set the alarm on your phone as s reminder. Good luck

It does get better, just watch what you are eating, chew, chew,chew,chew and chew some more. My problem 2 months post op was learning to chew properly because if I didn't I would get awful sick for hours. I learned real quick. Start out slowly introducing new foods a bite at a time if you must.

Make sure you're not dehydrated, I always feel like death when I am dehydrated and noticed since surgery it happens very quickly.

I work 12 hr shifts as a nurse, and often don't have the time to eat like I should. But yesterday I was really crazy busy, and made my body go on 2 oz of chicken for 8 hours until I finally realized that the reason I was about to fall asleep standing was that my body ran out of fuel. Finally I asserted myself and said I will be eating at the desk, get me if there is an emergency, but not for anything else. I need 30minutes and then will play catch up if I have to.

      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.

        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!
