Congratulations!! :-)

I just wanted to share... This morning, I didn't have time to make a Protein Shake, so I picked one up at a local gas station (Sheetz). Tasted a bit chalky, but was only 14 oz and packed SO much in to SO little! For one bottle, it is 50 grams Protein, 270 cals, and only 3 grams sugar. Most of my Protein Shakes leave me hungry by this time, but I am still SO full and drank the shake at 7am! I'm excited. As much as I didn't enjoy the flavor, In probably going to look in to ordering a case of these online.

My bloodwork came back today. It's all really good, except the Vitamin B12 is high. Any thoughts?

Mine was high this last time. Because of the irreversible damage B deficiency can cause I have a fear of not getting enough so I've been taking 3000 a day instead of the recommended 500. Too much B won't hurt you. It's harmless, unlike some Vitamins which can cause problems (according to my nut). My doc suggested taking it every other day instead of every day.

thnaks for the suggestion. I will most likely hear from my doctor today. I just saw results online last night.

I think it was $2.50ish?? That was also at a gas station though. I'm sure you could find them cheaper online. :)

      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!
