I was told that the stretchy part of the stomach was removed. What we have left is made of muscle which is much tougher and harder to stretch. It may be that the inflammation in your tummy is subsiding. Just follow the protocol and you will be successful.

it's also possible because you are still in the liquid phase. Liquids will go through you faster. That feeling should subside once you transition to purees or soft foods.

@@Joy889 Liquids shouldn't stretch out your stomach, they go right through.

I wonder if you are bloated...I know if I drink a milk or milk-based beverage, I bloat. Feels terrible, so I tend to stay away from it. It does subside, but takes some time. Good luck!

@@BLERDgirl because I feel so for every time that I drink I feel that I'm about to stretch out my stomach or something like I feel that I have too many ounces of Water that i drink in one sitting even though I try my best to monitor that. Even though my stomach feels at its compacity about 30 minutes or so later I still drink more water because I'm trying to get in all of my ounces by the end of the day

Relax. It's Water. It's gonna run through you. It doesn't sit in your stomach because it doesn't need to be broken down and digested.

Yes but its not just water...it's Protein Shakes and Soups as well... But I guess I'm over thinking even though I've already had the surgery I still just get scared sometimes like something will go wrong...this is still so new to me...

No idea. Have you talked to your doctor? It may be the food is not soft enough. Are you doing purees or soft foods?

      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!
