So I am now 9 days post op, 25 lbs down! I feel amazing! I meet my surgeon yesterday and I am healing well, I do have some bruising however. I watch my 4 1/2 month old, 20lb son, all day and have no issues lifting/playing with him. I am now on a purée diet. My wife made turkey chili and I purée'd that last night. Was able to get 2 tbsp down(with cheese and tapitio) OMG, my whole body changed after eating! I have been so tired and lethargic and I never thought 2 tbsp of food could give me so much energy! It's funny because I'm using my sons spoons to eat, he's not using them yet! Lol. I still have some gas but have taken a small, strained, BM the last 3 days. The two things I forgot to ask my surgeon were: coffee intake soon? And should I be using Fiber? Anyways, sorry my story is all over the place, new to blogging. I'll keep you all updated! post-286891-14575409588058_thumb.jpg

Your son is adorable! I am 4 days post op and using my son's baby spoons as well! (He is 9, so he certainly doesn't need them.). From what I've read Fiber like Metamucil is a no no for at least 2 months. I think I've read 6 weeks for coffee, but I'm sure each team is a little different. Best of luck to you!

      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!
