What are you allowed to eat at this point? When I was about 4 weeks out from surgery, I was allowed to start introducing regular food back into my diet. Hunger was killer, and it was so hard to try and eat the suggested portion size. Basically, what I ended up doing was eating larger portions (about 2 cups at a time), but making really healthy choices. But, I have had little help from my surgeon's office...when I told them I was struggling, they basically just told me that it was part of the deal and there was nothing that they could do about it.

This is such a frustrating time!!! I wish I had some good advice for you. Would your surgeon be willing to push your fill up a week?

Keep your head up....everyone says that once you get restriction, everything gets a lot better. (I am still in the process of getting there, and it can be hard at times). Keep talking to your dr., and doing the best you can every day.

Good luck!

      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.

      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!
