Awww, sorry to hear but don't worry, it DOES GET BETTER! Remember to walk, remember to continue to take small frequent sips of Water and PROTEIN! I bet in another week you'll start to feel really great! Good Luck!

if you have nausea and vomiting, please call your doctor and maybe they can give you something for that. i have read many people getting anti-nausea meds post surgery. you need to keep what little you are getting in you IN you. :)

No you are not alone at all. I didn't realize I would feel so horrible either. It happens to a lot of people. Take pain meds and sleep. Get the dr to give you an anti-nausea med. It is very hard but about week 3 for me started getting much better. I am week 7 now and feeling much more normal. It is a traumatic surgery. Please try to rest and know you will soon be much better.

      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!
