You could be dehydrated, lacking Protein and calories. Could also be anemic. I would let your doctor evaluate you.

I agree with unbesleevalbe, you sound like you may be dehydrated. When you are, it literally will take everything out of you. How are you doing with getting in your fluids? I know it is tough, but it is absolutely vital that you constantly have a bottle with you and take small sips all day long. During the first few weeks, when you are taking in so little calories, some energy depletion is to be expected, but it definitely sounds like you need more fluids and Protein Shakes to me. I agree with contacting your doctor and explaining how you are feeling so he/she can make some recommendations to you based on the post-op diet he recommended you follow.

Had the same problem. More Protein and fluids will help. I have a hard time getting enough Water in but I figured out how to get it in other drinks like milk or juice. The additional calories also helped I think. Good luck!

      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!
