3 days post-op and feeling much better!

Still have pain and am taking my meds but this is way better than those first 36 or so hours were. There's still a big adjustment to be had and I am working on it slowly, but oh man, I'm so glad I'm out of the woods, pain-wise.

I still haven't weighed yet -- I want to wait a full week post surgery. For now I am focusing on getting my liquids in and resting so I can heal. And walking, too, but with a 2 year old, I don't have much choice other than to be up and about most of the day.

Jury's still out on whether or not this surgery was the right decision for me yet, but I feel much much better than I did when I originally posted. Whew!

If you have surgery soon or just had it and are in pain, take heart! The pain is not forever (even if you're wondering if maybe it might be).

Thanks for the update! So glad that you're feeling better. I must admit that reading your original post started my anxiety . . . I am having surgery on the 13th. I hope you will continue to share your experience.

yay! so happy that you're feeling much better. i am anticipating that first week of pain and being down so i am trying to prep as MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN lol. my sleeved family members are saying i'm doing too much--but i'd rather be overprepped than underprepped and i don't want to take any chances not being able to have something i really need to make my life better.

thank you for the encouragement, and i'm sure you'll think surgery was right as soon as your body adjusts and you fall back into your old self again!

      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!
