My body didn't really get along with either the endone and morphine they gave me or the anaesthesia because I had to have 3 anti nausea shots throughout the afternoon, and at one point I started to throw up and nothing but a lot of continuous burping happened which was so painful. And now I'm too scared to take painkillers incase they make me nauseas again. Hopefully this doesn't last long but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.

Hey Nay91, you could try and ask your MD if they would give a script for quick dissolve Zofran. It breaks down on the tongue and is a liquid by the time you swallow it. It is a great drug for nausea, one of the best. Oh, btw, I just got home from the hospital and I feel pretty darn good. I have already walked a few blocks twice today and I will go on a 3rd after dinner. Grats on your new life everyone!

Glad it went well for you Carvinplayer. I'm home. Feeling ok. I told my surgeon I felt like I had been kicked by a horse. He said so long as it was only a small horse!

I did have some kind of dissolvable nausea tablet after I forced them to take out the drip haha. I went home on Tuesday (same day as my surgery) and just felt so awful until today thank god! Can't wait till I'm completely pain free and can lay down properly though. Glad you girls didn't have such a bad experience with It. X

I'm feeling so good now Mel, I do get the occasional pain which I think is hunger but I'm finding it ok to ignore, I do really feel like eating though haha. But I'm already 5kg down so it's so worth it! How long until you can move on to purée and mushies mel?

How's everyone doing? I'm on mushies now. Week 3 postop. Weight loss totally stalled. I believe it's a thing, the 3 week stall.

Regular food for me. It seems really easy to eat pretty much everything. I am not getting as much Protein as I would like but so far so good. I've been hitting the gym every other day and spending a minimum of 30 minutes on the elliptical machines and taking walks on the other days. My biggest complaint is I can't burp! I hate it! But if that is the price I must pay then so be it. I hope everyone is doing well.

      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!
