Yesterday was my big day too! How is everyone holding up? I had a rough first night, lots of nausea and vomiting, but much better today!

This was my first night. I have pain and nausea that comes and goes. I'm hoping today is a little easier. I'm hoping to go home tonight.

Surgery went smoothly and I am home now. Haven't had any nausea and limited pain, more aching than pain. Sneezed three times today and that was a challenge!!!

My shakes taste terrible ......just do not want food but forcing myself to get the 60 g Protein in and all the liquid.

Wow, I am already struggling with what to eat. My diet calls for strained blenderized Soups, Protein shakes, sugar free pudding or apple sauce, smoothies, greek yogurt. Everything is sweet! Tried strained cream of chicken Soup tonite but couldn't eat much of it.

Any suggestions for foods that have worked for you so far that aren't sweet. Everything just seems to be sweet.

And sweet isn't getting it . . .isn't that amazing?

I had my surgery December 22. Laying in hospital bed now, hope to be discharged today. So far so good. First night very uncomfortable but has gotten better. Hard to sip and get enough liquids in. But working on it while in the hospital. Good luck everyone!

I had my surgery the 22nd as well. I came home yesterday. Not really in much pain, just hard to get all the fluids I need. Any advice?

      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!
