My doctor said I was really oozy..maybe that's why I got so lucky lol

I need suggestions on what to eat. I'm on Clear Liquids only and would like a variety of something besides Water and crystal light. I tried a o calorie sobe water last night. It tasted awful

Last night my husband went to my favorite chimes restaurant and purchased a Won Ton Soup, but the broth only and it was really good. I am with you though, clear liquids as well and Crystal light and water have become uGh.

I can't believe how long they want you on clear liquids. I had very little output in my drain before they took it out so I haven't noticed much drainage. What you want to worry about is if the drainage increased or if it smells or looks like pus.

I didn't have a drain. My doc said he only puts them in less than one percent of people.

When I was on clear liquids only I bought chicken bouillon cubes with added spices and put two in about 10 oz of Water and boiled. I liked that much better than broth.< /p>

      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!
