Day 2 post op was really hard for me. I was in a bunch of pain and my tummy would not stop rumbling. Today is day 3 and I'm not in as much pain. I'm still weak and out of breath. I'm not as hungry though and I continue walking around the house to help with gas.

Glad u are feel n better I am nervous about the gas pain..

I think the soreness is much worst than the gas pains. Getting in and out of bed or just trying to stand up from sitting is where all my pain is. Get you some gas x strips and walk. The gas pain did not hurt me. It was just very uncomfortable. I could feel it move from one side of my body to the next

I love my heating bad. I pretty much turn it on when I sit back down or lie down. I just hate how I'm so hungry on the one week Clear Liquids diet.

Are you drinking your liquids every 15 minutes . Don't know what your doc or nutritionists directed you to do, but I haste that you're hungry. They have clear Protein you can drink. Try that for your hunger pangs.

They told me I can have all the clear liquids I could handle since I'm wide open. I still can't find Isopure anywhere for the clear Liquid Protein.

I need to get out and check GNC or buy some my doctors office. My band has it's own mind today. I'm so full but my tummy is still giving me hunger pains. I've only got down about 16 ounces of fluids today.

      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!
