Well 9:30pm. Recovery it's a little tough. I've had gastritis for years. I don't fart for some reason so getting the co2 out has been tough. I finally just burped for the first time thank God.

When I first got out the stomach pain was really bad but two hits of demirol and one of delotted (sp) and I slept and woke up better

Girls. To say you don't get hungry is a under statement. I've had nothing but Water all day. Zero appetite. Like literally zero. Gonna try broth and Jello tomorrow. I've gotten nauseous a couple times but held it back

Feeling ok right now. Blood pressure is a little high other wise I'm pretty good.

Yay burp. The gas is the hardest part of recovery but it's doable. Walk walk walk. Sip sip sip. And breath breath breath. There is this breathing treatment you di every hour to prevent pneumonia

I'll keep u posted! Thks!

My surgery is scheduled for 11/17th /15. I am scared. My husband does not support my decision. I will probably be alone for my surgery. Praying for God mercy and blessings.

Night was a little rough. Again due to being a no-fart person lol.

Much better today. Took last dose of pain meds and now I'm on Fluid counting. 4oz per hour. Started with protien shake. Now broth. Then Jello

Super excited becuz the liquid diet part is easy!. Cuz you're totally not hungry so not having to eat is almost a relief. Drinking much more appealing

Should be released this afternoon ????

      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!
