My surgery date is coming



Recommended Posts

Everything is moving forward I am looking forward to Sunday when I can add full liquids to my diet and go back to my Protein Shakes, I have missed those. I think I have missed coffee most of all though.

I am doin pretty good. Some of the soreness seems to be subsiding but still getting some gas pains. Had my first bm about 4:30am. I am having some type of stomach spasms or something. Not sure if it is hunger or spasms or both. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I had my surgery last Monday (24th) and doing pretty good! I had no pain or nausea in the hospital! The only pain I had were the incisions. Just felt like I did too many stomach crunches. I didn’t feel like I had surgery! I’m on full liquids. I started riding my stationary bike for about 20minutes. It’s been raining here in Houston so can’t get out and walk. On about Wednesday I was having some nausea problems but that’s the only day. My husband took me to see the grandkids yesterday and I was sore more than usual. I think it was from the seat belt. When you get to feeling good to go out it might be a good idea to take a pillow to put across your belly. I just got finished eating Cream of Mushroom and chicken Soup mixed with 1c of 1/2% milk and 1/3c of instant powdered milk. It was DELICIOUS!! I ONLY GET A 1/2c. I go back to the dr Wednesday. It looks like so far I’ve lost 10lbs. Now that’s according to my scale. I’m pleased!! Any weight loss is a good loss!!

I have been having a hard time sleeping. I tried both sides and stomach. Stomach is my normal sleep position. no side is good and still wake up in the middle of night to adjust myself.

      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!
