Well......... DAMN!

Breathe in and out, and keep reminding yourself that you have no control over the situation, and so therefore, you can't stress out about it.

Try to relax..... watch some trash on TV or something :blink:

Hugs,

Karen

Thanks everyone, well I came home and got a lot of things done I had on my "to do list" so that helped. I also took a nice long nap, :blink: I feel better well one thing I found out was that I will be spending the night so I am better prepared for that too... But I figured another day of as much Soup as I like:thumbup: I love soup so that will really help me through my liquid stage of all of this...

Here I am six days post op, still not feeling like myself but feeling better, I can stay up a full day, but I find that it doesn't take much to fill me up, I only had to take my pain pills once yesterday and dose of liquid tylenol, I wish my pain meds was in a liquid instead of pills it would have been easier to take.

I don't know if I had fill, but I still feel a lot of restriction it takes a long time for me to get a cup of Water down, much less any thicker fluids...

I have this ball under my port that has developed over the past couple of days, i spoke to the surgeon and he said he doesn't think it is anything but I will keep an eye on it and call my primary doctor if I am still concerned in the next few days.

other than that the left shoulder pain is still there, not as constant as it was but still as annoying.

I am feeling better too. I am still a little to wacky to drive. I have been in the house since Sunday. I am still very sleepy or just no energy. The gas is better. It comes and goes not rather than just sit ther all day. I am still trying to get in the fluids, which cause pain when I drink. I weigh in in the morning...my butt has shrunk and my face looks slimer. I want to start a slow exercise routine, but I dont' have enough energy. I don't want to get flabby.

      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!
