That's actually common. They pump you full of fluids and you can stay bloated for quite a while.

I'm 10 days post op and I finally saw the scale move today! Must have been pretty overloaded with Fluid and swelling. I'm so impatient too.... Everytime I get off the couch I ask my husband "am I skinny yet?"

My appetite was pretty strong today actually! I kinda felt hungry all day. I had 2 shakes, some sugar free Jello, broth and a lot of Water. Keep your head up. I'm sure you'll definitely have lost some weight by the 25th!!

I did really well, and still am with the shakes.. I can get them down no prob. The soft diet I am on now is a bit challenging. I can only take a couple bites without my stomach going in to spasms. I am certain it gets better but I am feeling super fatigued. Hoping I get some energy soon. I only have one week left b4 I have to go to work.

      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!
