Surgery Experts Needed



Recommended Posts

I have just hit my 10 day out mark and I have a question for the experts - Are you still counting the oz you drink on a daily basis. Right now I have so much focus on how many oz I am drinking in a day does this priority go away once you start eating food again? Does it get easier and you just know that you are drinking the right amount?

I have an app on my phone to count it. It is really important. Another way to do it would be to fill up a 64 oz pitcher in the morning and then just make sure you finish it by the end of the day.

You will ALWAYS need 64 ounces of fluids. Period. But as time goes on, drinking gets a little easier, and you find a routine. You'll figure it out :)

Yeah exactly it becomes routine. I just know I have to drink 4 16oz bottles and then I'm done. I drink one first thing in the am, One after my run or yoga class, one in my car when I am shuttling kids here and there and one more throughout the day.

You will need to make sure to get in at least 64 ounces of Water every day for the rest of your life. That is something that will get easier with time, however, you will still need to count.

Congrats to you Babbs on making it to your goal!

      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.

      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!
