I'm on my way to the ER now. The doctor sent me. No nausea or vomiting though and with a stricture there would be.

Was talking to the patient care tech here in the ER who had the surgery 10 months ago and she said it could be a problem with me being able to drink thin liquids

@@layknee hope they figure out soon. Water is not my friend post surgery, cramps and liquid burps immediately, though Powerade zero is ok so far.

Same as Smiley. Gatorade 2 works really well for me.

What are your favorite flavors of Powerade zero? I am making an epic shopping trip tomorrow. I feel like I live in Alaska and I am making my yearly pilgrimage to Anchorage from chicken (a real place named chicken, wow). Last time there were so many colors of "Gatorade" and so on, I was overwhelmed and in a hurry, I gave up.

Hey all, weighed in at 168, haven't seen that in 15 years. With my short height and lower bmi at surgery time, it did not take long, long ways to go.

Also, had to get a treat for some guys who repaired my bumper while I was not driving. Went to a gourmet cupcake shop. Amazed that I could not even smell the buttery sweetness u know was there. No desire at all, and I love cupcakes.

Last amazed at no headhunger, and really no appetite. Hope everyone else is the same.

I like the blue, orange and strawberry. The red fruit punch tends to be too strong and the lemon lime reminds be of the bowel prep at this point

      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!
