Lovely UTI 3 Weeks In



Recommended Posts

Anyone else suffered from UTIs soon after surgery? Strangely it was also mentioned in the book given by the practice. Is it because we aren't getting enough fluids at this stage?

I've had them before but this one is particularly rough in terms of pain. I'm having to swallow pretty large antibiotics (which can't be broken in half) so it's a bit crap all round.

No but I'm three and a half weeks out and I have strep throat. It's thought to get through all my fluids with a really sore throat. The antibiotic seems like it is sitting in my stomach and slowly turning to acid. I hope I can kick this fast.

That's rough, I'm sorry you're going through that. Have you tried those throat numbing lozenges?

I've been really cautious with anything that goes into my stomach. I'm also at the three week stall. I'll be glad to get through this amd exercise again.

Ask for an RX for Pyridium. It really helps with the pain.

      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!
