Yes, I am on liquids for another two weeks...i am no where close to meeting the Protein and Water levels...too much to drink in one day




That's definitely understandable. But, try as much as you can to stay hydrated. Use the 2oz red cups every 15-20 minutes throughout the day and you can hopefully get it down that way. [emoji3]

5 days post-op...no weight loss....is that normal?

Did you weigh yourself when you came home from hospital? I actually gained 11lbs in hospital from all the fluids. It took 4 days to lose that. Then I started losing.

I didn't lose but a pound or so the 3 days in the hospital, but from the 20th to the 25th I lost almost 11 pounds. when I was sent home with 6 liters O2 and a JP drain- by a few days out, (even though I'd been cleaning it) I KNEW I had an infection at the drain site. I called, reported it and at my 1 week they took it out- it was badly infected. I had to have Antibiotics and another liquid to coat the stomach too. I didn't lose anything from Jan 27th to Feb 10th-2 weeks! I was panicky because I'd lost the 11 in 5 days and now nothing. finally started losing again, but when I got to 260 (started at 300) I got sick n spent the night in the hospital with severe pain in my stomach, nausea, vomiting and back pain. plus a weird severe allergy- I itched everywhere! so badly that Benedryl didn't touch it and I couldn't sleep-after 3 days of that I took myself to the hospital. I was badly dehydrated too. Although they got me back to "normal" the staff/Doctors never could tell me what happened and why. I hadn't eaten anything I hadn't had before ect.... but again kept floating weight between 260-267. and couldn't understand how I could gain!!!! I was following the parameters, getting my fluids and Protein, everything for weeks- nothing past 260 was lost. very discouraging. did start to lose again last week- now 249. I KNOW that is a LONG story but do any of you know why I stopped losing and why I kept going between 260 and 267?

      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.

        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!
