Hi I'm a new born sleever 6 days old.

And I was wondering if Anyone has experienced the pain of a horse stomping on your chest? It's like a gas bubble (burp) is stuck.. n it hurts like crazy? My phase one diet is still the same.. Water, popsicles, Jello, broth, Protein water...I'm on day 6 so I'm confused...

I am almost a month out and my chest still hurts when I take too big of drinks. Even drinks that I think were tiny. In the beginning it hurt a lot more, the pain does get better. Hang in there.

If it only happens when you're drinking you need to slow down and make sure you're not swallowing air. Place the liquid in your mouth and slowly exhale, then swallow.

If you're not drinking when it happens - go to the ER! You might be having a heart attack

According to my hospital discharge papers, one of the conditions to trigger a call to the surgeon's office Is:

Chest pain, rapid heartbeat and/or dizziness.

Agree with the others. If I drink to fast i get a little reminder from my baby stomach to hold my horses.

      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.

      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!
