I'm a week post op as well. Down 6 lbs (not including the weight fainting the op IV fluids). What are you doing about the gas pains? I'm having them as well.

I felt great after about 6 days. I'm 6 weeks post op and still have yet to be nauseous, throw up, etc. I just moved to no restrictions on 9/15 and so far, I've tolerated everything I've tried. I think we are the rule and not the exception. IMO, it seems much more unlikely to have a bad recovery than it does to have a great one.

I'm on day 6 and I'm a bit more sore today than I was yesterday, but I pushed myself a bit yesterday afternoon with extending my walks and shooting for 3 miles. No biggie - the dilaudid mixes well with my morning coffee. ;)
I've had no issues with fluids or shakes (or even thicker shakes blended with ice for a Protein milkshake type of thing). I feel amazing. And the scale showed another 1.5 pounds down from yesterday.

Hi- I am 6 days post op and am in about the same boat. I feel good. I am maybe a little more uncomfortable when sitting at my desk which I need to do for 8 hours a day. I have gone back to work full time since I can work at home while I sip my constant liquids. :) I am not hungry either but I like the term head hunger. That is a great way to describe the desire for pepperoni pizza that I have every now and then still.

I am working on just sipping my liquids but I gave up on using the little cup. I found that 3 small sips was equal to the cup. But I don't always wait the 15 min. Is that okay or could I already be stretching my sleeve?

I am getting 30 grams of Protein but only taking in about 200-300 calories. Is it okay that I have lost 12 pounds in 6 days?

My energy is decent but I do get a little light headed on the treadmill. Not doing a ton but trying for 10 min twice a day.

Thanks for any advice. :)

      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!
