Have you tried Protein Water? I find them way easier. Premier Protein makes one called clear. There is also proteinh20.

Thanks so much for that idea! I never heard of it before but I’ll look for it! Where do you find it?

Hello

I had my procedure on November 10th

I am concerned with constant discomfort when drinking Water first thing in the morning

Anyone else experience this?

I take small sips, I wait between sips and still have extreme discomfort.

Any ideas?

There is also a Protein Water you can get at the grocery store. It only has 7g protein but it helps

It's called Trimino

Good luck with surgery! Sending positive thoughts to you. They will give you nice drugs in the hospital and you will forget all about your calf strain. 😁

They did, I only took them at night to help sleep though, between the nerve blocks, nerve pain meds and tylenol, wasn't much need for the stronger stuff while I was up moving around.

I had mine on the 13th...first thing in the morning does seems to be the worst, fortunately for me at least it seems to get better as the day goes on....maybe you have to wake your stomach up as it is still trying to heal...if I can get my supplements and meds down first thing in the morning then I am happy and give my stomach a break for a bit. Do not force it, if it hurts, take a break.

Hi Butlermom,

is it ice Water? If it is try room temp water or warm water. If it’s still a problem, call the dr. And let them know. If I forget myself and take in too much water in my sip it bothers me a little, but maybe you should just call anyways to let them know. Wish you all the best!

You’ll do great! Just had mine done 2 weeks ago. You’ll be done early, and back in your room before you know it!

You will be done before you know it. Had mine last week. Just know there will be discomfort as they will fill your gut with air.

I didnt know this before hand and wish someone had informed me.

It does seem to get better through the day.

I seem to do better with warm or hot liquid so maybe I will do that.

It’s so amazing how all programs are different. Mine actually has videos about the air that they put in your abdomen and they talk about having a companion beating (percussing) your back to break up the air and how much walking you should do to eliminate it.

Guess you were very fortunate to get into such a good program! 🤗 I was very disappointed in my program, but I don’t know if it is normally better, or if Covid disrupted everything. I had videos but they were more the psychological side of things.

      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!
