I'm exactly a week post op. I go in Monday for my first fill. I've been having trouble with Protein Shakes. They make me want to puke. It goes in my mouth and I'm like I cant even, I've tried several different kinds. Different flavors and everything. Since I'm on a full liquid diet in eating hardly any protein...besides the little bit of cottage cheese I have been eating because of lack of protein! My doctor called today and I told her she asked of my hair was falling out! Ahhh! Well it's not but I'm scared it will start. I did take Biotin but they said I was taking to much:/ any ideas!?

My dr. told me today if you take too much Biotin it won't hurt you..it is just a waste of money cause you will urinate the excess right down the toilet. : )

I had a difficult time with the Protein Shakes too (thickness) but I can tolerate the Protein Shots. I bought mine at GNC -- high on protein; low on sugar ~ Good Luck ~

wow a fill at one week post op. That seems a little soon. You're still healing up. Strange the different ways Docs do things....

I take the Slim Fast and add plain Protein to it and blend. Every doc is different so this may be a no no?? It's my favorite so far though for Protein Drinks.< /p>

I suggest you google Biotin overdose and read the many links. It is possible to overdose on Vitamins. Some more than others. I'm not saying it is likely..... just check it out for yourself. :)

PS: diabetics should be aware of Biotin overdose

      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!
