Yes, it is normal to be exhausted for several weeks after surgery, not just a couple of days even. Be kind to yourself, nap when you need to and walk as much as you can.

Walk enough to avoid blood clots and nap.

You just had major surgery. Rest.

Yup very very normal. You had major surgery and are still dealing with the side effects of anesthesia and pain meds and very little caloric intake. At this point you need make yourself walk and get your fluids. I was exhausted for a couple weeks. There is a incredible light at the end of the tunnel and it just doesn't get better it gets incredible! You will get there!

Yes, you are normal---well in this incident anyway. ;)

Your body isn't awake yet from general anesthia. You just had a serious surgery that your body may take 6 months to "normalize".

Be patient with yourself. Be kind to yourself.

Rest, sip, walk, sip and then......REPEAT. :) (don't forget a bit of peeing and pooing :) )

Your journey will get better. I promise.

      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!
