After my surgery I walked so much I was getting to know other patients in the rooms and well their family lol because I kept trying to get rid of the gas pain... It seems it didn't get better until I actually started passing gas, and the only thing that worked is I would sit on a recliner with my legs bent on the foot rest and that did the trick, and beef broth was actually very comforting for me because jellos and Popsicles where too sweet and chicken broth was nasty.

They actually didn't want me to leave hospital until I started to pass gas and I actually told them one day that I wasn't ready to go home yet, so just speak up depending on how you feel, don't rush things...

When I got home it was harder because I didn't have handles on the bed or a way to raise it up or down to help me get up, so it was actually easier for me in the hospital.

Hope you all get better and the gas pains go away!

Me too! I was in my bed in the waiting room. They said okay it's time. Next thing I know, I'm waking up and they said surgery was done. I don't remember anything in between.

But now, all we have to focus on, is healing and dropping them pounds! Yey to us losers! Congratulations to everyone sitting on the losers bench with me! You guys have motivated me even more than I already was. Thank you for that. ????????????

Hey there all you losers!

I'm 15 hours post-op!!! last night I just needed to sleep. Today I've gotten in a couple walks and 2 oz Water, 2 oz popsicle, and now working on 2 oz of Apple juice.

I had a nausea patch, so so thankful for that......So I'm in good shape there.

I started using morphine today and I feel pretty good. Luckily no gas pains unless morphine is just masking it.

Haven't been able to pee yet either.

Hubby spent the night with me so I was lucky to keep this private room.

Okay... So I'm still in lots of pain from gas, particularly shoulder, neck and chest area, but I've been trying to get in fluids every 15mins

And have been doing walks to try and help.... Another think helping me is doing"windmills" with my arm to help move the gas down.... I have had gas and bowel movements so I don't expect to have pain much longer

I've taken the liquid really good...teeny tiny sips and it stays down. LINDSAY did you have RNY or the sleeve.

I just realized why I haven't needed to pass gas....my husband is passing enough for the both of us lol

Btw, heating pad helps a lot for gas pain in shoulder and other areas, I used so many of those ready heated pads while in hospital.

My gas pain is mostly gone. I had my bandages changed and had last minute meds injections.

I'm going home in 30 minutes. I won't weigh myself until the gas pain is completely gone. I don't want a false weight because I'm bloated. Lol...

Now we will gather to tell our progress instead of how scared and nervous we are.. yey maybe in a month or two, I'll post a progress picture. I hope to have lost at least 30 in two months. I can't wait.

      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!
