I’m doing the multi vitamin patches too. I tried several Vitamins but couldn’t tolerate any of them. So my doc said the patch would be a good alternative.

Hi April Sleevers,
Some of us are hitting the 2 month mark this week. Congrats! Hope you all are doing well.
I ate a tiny bit of salad for the first time and two small bites of watermelon. The salad was chopped into tiny pieces, lol. This is my first time eating raw vegetables and fruit. No problems with either. I kept the salad ingredients simple to test out just a few raw veggies at one time. Just tried a tiny bit. Its watermelon season so I'm hopeful that I can use it as a snack. I know some programs discourage eating fruit due to sugar, but my program allows a little bit of fruit. 🙂
Happy 2nd month surgerversary!!

I’ve read that just the stress of the preop diet, they surgery stress itself on the body, and the recovery period immediately following surgery can actually trigger Hair loss early on. I’ve been reading that Biotin and Iron are really critical to help with it.

I’m with you on this too. My nutritionist said my primary goals early on is Protein intake and hydration. I wouldn’t stress about what intervals you’ are getting each right now, just that you are. Good luck!

They do, but for me it was some next level gas pains, interestingly enough everyone in recovery room was dealing with it so I wonder if the OR team over inflated for the day? lol

Hi all. I came home a few hours after my procedure today, but those of you staying overnight, pack a heating pad!! I never get gas pains from laparoscopic surgery but this one was pretty intense with abdomen, sternum, and back pains from the gas. The heating pad helps to break that up. Just a tip for ya’ll. Thanks.

Don’t get discouraged. I had a friend who went on vacation right before and was bad at prep. Her doc could tell but he still was able to do procedure. Hang in there..

I cheated Sat. Had a small piece of pizza 😕
