Side Effects of Surgery and Supplementation



Recommended Posts

I am sitting here at 5 months losing 52 lbs. I am happy. I take the Multi Vitamins, Calcium, d3 and B12 required. But I also take Biotin, cranberry, probiotic and a anti-inflammatory (which spell check won't let me add).

I visited with my aunt last weekend and she was amazed at my face. I had Bells Palsy 7 years ago. I was left with one side drooping and hearing loss. A month prior to that I had sudden hearing loss syndrome. So between both of those, I have pretty moderate hearing loss. I have tried everything they told me to do but hearing and droopiness only got a little better.

Also went in for another hearing assessment a week ago. He told me that I was hearing better.

Solo I account all of this to having my surgery and taking supplements. Quite a nice side effect I think.

OMG... I had 'Sudden Deafness Syndrome' in 2001. I was hospitalized for over a week to try and get my hearing back. I got like 75% back but if I am in a loud room and someone tries talking into my effected ear... I can't hear. You should inbox me. I have a theory about this sudden deafness.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
