I was sleeved and had a hiatal hernia fixed on the third. The first few days recovering were kinda rough, but I feel pretty good now. Down 17lbs since surgery. Seems kind of unreal.

im getting a hiatal hernia fixed with my sleeve too! What do you mean by rough? Keeping liquids down or incision site pain or perhaps something else? I'm glad you are feeling better! My surgery is on Feb 17tb

I'm getting it fixed with mine as well. The hernia fix is actually covering most of my surgery. I'm just paying put of pocket for the sleeve itself

I found that the hernia made it difficult to swallow anything for the first 4 days. Even a tiny sip of Water felt like it was getting caught in my throat. The feeling would pass quickly but it was hard to even drink one shake and one bottle of water a day. When asked they said it was the hernia and would go away after 7 days. It was practically gone on day 5.

I lost 12.5 in 13 days on the preop liquid diet. Unlike some, my program did not call for a "healthy" meal once a day. Strictly liquids. Just remember, the reason for a preop diet is to shrink your liver for a safer surgery. You owe it to yourself to follow it.

I had surgery with a hiatal hernia repair on 2/8. The first day morphine was my friend. Once I got up to walk the gas pains in my shoulder got much better. I was not allowed to drink anything the first day. I think that was the hardest thing. My mouth and lips were so dry. Don't forget your chap stick. Day two I was finally able to drink and have some Jello. I was never so happy...lol I came home the day after surgery around 3pm. Have been getting my fluids in along with jello. Tomorrow I will start my Protein again. Life is good!! No regrets!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
