I think I hit that 3 week stall that I keep reading about 😩. Tuesday will make it 4 weeks post op for me and my scale haven’t moved in a week. Trying to stay positive.
I’m in the same boat. I use to read posts of people stressing out about stalling at 3 wks and thought I am going to expect that and not let it bother me. But here I am 4 wks post op and stalled for a week, the reality is that its really the only thing keeping you going during those first few weeks when your food choices are so limited so it is hard not to see that scale move! 😠

Put a pillow or something like that over your sore tummy. Press in when you sneeze or cough. It's called "splinting" and yeah baby, it works!

So I’m 9’ days post op and am literally tired of these pre made Protein shakes... they are upsetting my stomach more than anything... I already use lactose milk when I made my own... I don’t know it if I am going to be able to drink them post surgery... I drank them like crazy before surgery and now all these problems... pain gas bloating... makes me feel so miserable...

Try making your own with Water. That's how I make mine now post op and they taste pretty much like they did before when I made them with almond milk.

Also some people switched to veggie Protein to stop the belly problems.

Good Luck!!!!

I use 16oz of Water and it tastes fine. Sometimes eve add more water when I drink it down some just to thin it out more. I know everyone's tastes are different but to me it is just fine. At least try it. Maybe just do a couple of oz with a sprinkle of powder to taste it.

      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!
