4 Days Post Op Feeling ???



Recommended Posts

I keep going back and forth between feeling 9 months pregnant with a big swollen belly, and just having a baby feeling the same.

Am I the only one who feels like this?

I've never had a baby, but I'm used to having a big belly, lol. I was feeling super full earlier bc I had drank a lot of liquids, but I peed it out and felt relieved as well. I still carry my big belly around though, lol

I had surgery 2/17 also and yes my stomach feels pregnant I think it's from the gas they blow you up with for surgery and all the IV fluids I read it can take up to two weeks





Good to know!

My side pain is like a stab, it's not constant but it is worse now than when I was in hospital (I guess I was in bed much more in hospital) dr said it was the large incision sight and that there is an internal stitch that can pull, it's about a 7. At hospital I was saying 5

I definitely felt like I was hauling around a baby belly for the first few days. That still happens sometimes if my day is busy. I think it's normal, but definitely annoying!

I had surgery the 10th of February, I had mild pain specially when I drink something . I am having trouble getting hidrated but I am walking and hopeful . My incisions look like healing . I do still have some air .

      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!
