So far, so good. I'm not having any issue getting my fluids in. Recovery was easy. The incisions are healing okay. 1 is still painful when I twist or turn, and 2 look like they are not going to heal very well. The other 2 look fine.

I've been on a clear liquid diet the past week (plus 2 wks pre-op), but today was my 1st day on a full liquid diet. I walked two miles to BJs instead of taking the bus. I did take the bus home b/c by the time I finished shopping, I was drained. I stocked up on Protein shakes, SF Jello, SF applesauce, and a few other things for the next week. I've been saving so many recipes; I'm dying to try them out once I can eat normal food. This liquid thing makes me want to throw myself into a brick wall.

My focus recently was locating a Registered Dietician to help me with the post-op diet. I've done that now. My next step is finding a therapist or psychologist who can help me with food issues.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good I've lost 14 lbs since 8/3 and dr says I'm doing good incisions look good but I do have pain from the middle which is the largest one. Still on full liquid diet as well till Tuesday. It's hard for me at times since I have 5 kids and cooking for them I smell the food and I wanna eat it lol just because I know how good my food is I have actually bit pieces and chew them and spit them out just for the flavor I know I feel bad when I have did it. But I'm not letting it get the best of me. I'm anxious to work out but I know walking and arm weights are the only thing I can do now.

      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!
