Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

I'm new to this website. I'm excited to fine a place where I can vent, and get answers to my questions.

so I'm eating "soft foods" and I haven't started exercising- however my NUT said I could start some light activity if my stomach is no longer sore. I want to start lifting weight and also doing abs. guys think its too soon?

do you guys think I can start taking Gummy Vitamins? what about take capsules? I hate taking the powdery sh*t with pudding or apple sauces. ugh :angry: I just rather swallow that crap!

Hi,

I have been on Gummy Vitamins since the beginning per my Dr. I would be lying if I said I have stuck to an all Protein diet....but confident I still eat less then 800-1000 calories a day (this is 3 weeks out going forward).

I am starting to feel much better and it does not hurt every time I eat now which is a relief.

I try to get in all my liquids and Proteins but find it difficult most days especially since I was told to drink/eat 30 minutes apart.

Overall I am 4+ weeks out and in a stall which I have read is normal....

      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!
