Yesterday was surgery. He fixed a hiatal hernia that I didn’t know I even had. Sore this morning, especially when using the incentive spirometer. Took my first drink this morning and it was so good.

My doc fixed the same hernia in me, and I woke up with the most excruciating back pain from it. One of the resident docs said the hernia repair wasn’t what was causing my pain, but couldn’t give me a better answer as to what it was, and it was exactly in the middle of my back where my diaphragm runs.

My pain is in center of my chest and back. Same thing as you, I’m almost certain it’s the hernia repair.

Mine took about three days to start easing up too. Walking def helps, I was asking to go for a walk about every hour from as soon as I was allowed to. Now I’m home three days, and not walking anywhere near as much (I live in Minnesota, it’s pretty brisk outside). My friend is taking me out in an hour or so, so I can get some walking done indoors 😃

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
