I've been struggling with liquids because it hurts and I can't catch my breath even when sipping. So just while ago my girlfriend sees me crying and I said I can't do this anymore. And she said won't you try using a spoon like you did with your Isopure drink. So I tried it and it definitely helps. Because me holding a cup up to my mouth doesn't work well with me. So spoon it is.... 1522552099136.thumb.jpeg.3f57fe84df22a010c39b99137c642830.jpeg

If you had any of those little baby medicine cups that might work too. Next time you go to your pharmacy ask if you can have some, they usually have them for kids cough syrups and they probably wouldn't charge for them as a courtesy to you, the customer.[emoji7][emoji12][emoji7]

You can order about 100 of them on Amazon for less than $5 if you can’t get them from the pharmacy. The hospital gave me three huge stacks of them. I used them for my crushed medication as well.

Well, that was one hell of a solution. I would have never thought that.

Hot Water works for me if you haven’t tried that yet. I can’t do cold water

      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!
