I guess I'm doing as well as expected. Thankful that I've not been nauseous at all and able to drink with ease.

Special note...don't wait too long to take your pain medication. They give it for a reason. I'm not a pill taker and I waited too long yesterday and ended up in tears. Also buy GasX!

Yesterday was awful but today is better. First day I have not cried. Lol

Protein Shakes are still not very good. My taste seems to be off. I have whey 2Go Protein packs that mix with Water that's kind of like crystal light.

I'm not sure where you are but I'm UK and use slim and save shakes. They taste quite nice but I've only managed two today. www.sns.co.uk they taste quite nice maybe give them a try. It takes me an hour to drink one though. Hope that gets better.

Congratulations, you will get better each day. walk as much as you can, and drink liquids. I had to be on Clear Liquids for 4 days so I did not get Protein shakes right away, however I like muscle milk and I do sometimes still use that as a go to when in a hurry.

Hi. I'm in GA. The pain has been manageable. I'm on day 4 post-op. Day 2 was the worst for me. Today I've slept a lot but tried to walk every two hours.

      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!
