Finally17 54 Posted June 27, 2017 Angel Gloria: let me know how your surgery goes. I also gave a hernia. My surgery is Aug 2. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XYZXYZXYZ1955 675 Posted June 27, 2017 For what it's worth, I had a hernia taken care of in conjunction with a hysterectomy two years ago. That was a fairly major operation--not laparascopic--but the hernia part was almost unnoticeable in terms of how I felt afterwards--other than being glad it didn't stick out any more! Your mileage may vary, of course, but I wouldn't stress about it at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angelgloria 11 Posted June 27, 2017 This is a hiatal hernia located right at the end of the esophagus and the stomach so it has to be repaired before I can get my sleeve done. Thank you very much for your support looking forward to getting this taken care of next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllysonB 18 Posted July 9, 2017 Wow...,so you aren't full liquid yet? I was on liquid right away...premier Protein, Water, sf popsicles, sf Jello and broth. What are you eating now?Sorry haven't been back here for a while.I am doing much better, blasting through the full liquids and tempting the purred stage. I am mostly eating the full liquids and puréed Soups. Premier shakes for my protein. I will try cottage cheese today. What are your best protein foods you like? Hope your well.

angelgloria 11 Posted July 10, 2017 Since I'm on liquids pre-op I do drink Premier Protein only the chocolates. I've tried many different Proteins and can tolerate them but Premier Protein seems to work. I know post-surgery I'll be on liquids for a while before going to pureed food I'll be very anxious to get some regular food and me even though it's just pureed.
