Baby products actually work?



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm about 9 days post opp GS. Haven't been able to really keep much down except half an ice pop per day and maybe 8 oz of Water. Met with my surgeon today and he sent me to ER. In ER I was offered applesauce and it was Gerber brand. Of course I couldn't eat it all at once but it stayed down and I didn't feel sick. I was also offered Gerber brand water. It stayed down as well.

Does or did anyone else have to start off slow with baby products due to digestion? I thought it was a little weird at first but the apple sauce taste great and the water taste wonderful, very purified. I was drinking Poland Spring at first but I was able to pick up a few gallons of the Gerber Pure water since it can stay down without a problem. I didn't realize I had to drink atleast 48oz of fluids a day. Hopefully I can now that I have easier water to drink.

Nursery Water is basically distilled so it has no minerals. Maybe Gerber is too. Wish I had known about that post op. Maybe it was the minerals in water that made me nauseous.

I know the mineral content of our well Water still sits poorly with me three years out. I do bottled Water even though my family loves the well water so minerals can make a difference

      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.

        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!
