The first 24hrs were definitely hard for me. Mostly my recovery from being put under for the surgery. I didn't even feel like taking and liquids that day. I was doing ice chips. I was able to walk a few times that evening, but I slept most of the day. The next morning I went off my pain pump and that made a huge difference. I was able to take in more fluids and I walked about 7times that day. It really helped move the gas out.

Had my surgery yesterday and I'm feeling pretty good, need to walk more but I'm so tired from the meds that it's hard to get up but I'm doing pretty good on my liquids. How's all the other post-op people doing?

7 days to go!

I've lost 31lbs since I started surgery prep, 13.9 since I started the pre-op diet 8 days ago...

I'm ready to get this moving!

My Surgery is February 21st. I am so excited. My doctor has not had me on any pre-op diet but I go in on the 15th for all my pr-op testing so I am sure he will talk to me about that then.

EGD on February 9th went very well. (I don't remember a thing). Lol. Visit with the anesthesiologist on Monday, then Surgery the next day. Tuesday February 14, 2017. I thought this day would never come. I'm so ready for this. Bring it on. I'm can't wait to start living a healthy and more active life. I can see the future and it's full of bike rides, hiking with my fur babies and kayaking with my hubby. Best wishes to all. What a great community, can't wait to share the rest of my journey with you.

      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!
