Ok so I am having a ruff day today... I don't know what is normal with this new body of mine...

I am having pain/discomfort when I am eating, well at this point, drinking. I'm 9 days post op and I am afraid it doesn't seem to be normal. I am going to talk to my dr tomorrow but I am just scared I have some kind of complication and will go back to the hospital.

I am trying to pay attention when the pain starts or what may cause it, I have different Proteins I take and still can't point to what may be the cause. I thought it was lactose, so I stopped having milk with my shake and still same issue...

The pain I get once I swallowed and liquid is gone down, it becomes kind of crampy - gassy pain.

Can you please tell me your experiences?

Thank you!

I would see what the doctor can offer. Hopefully you do not have a leak or anything like that. Are you drinking too fast? Perhaps it is the temperature of the drink? I know in the beginning I couldn't drink really cold things; had to be a bit more room temp.

Keep us informed on what you find out.

Did you see the doctor and did they offer any help? Again, I'm thinking it might be drinking too fast or the temperature of the liquid. Also, where is the pain located after swallowing?

      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.

      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!
