Question...what has been the hardest thing to deal with post op?



Recommended Posts

Hardest thing for me at 3.5 weeks post op is that my life revolves around food more than it ever has. Getting in 5 small meals a day takes substantial planning and constant attention to eating. Its annoying at times. Before surgery, i could just plan on finding something for three meals a day where ever I was at the time. Of course that contributed to the mess of my body. With that said, I would do it again in a heart beat. This has put me on the road to a happier, healthier life.

Source of Life liquid Gold (bought on Amazon) i what I used. Recommended by a pharmacist friend who is 87 and looks far healthier than me. He said it was all I needed. It has 100 mcg. Biotin, but I took additional Biotin for the hair (still lost hair). I have added I compared the ingredients to Bariatric Advantage Multivitamins I bought, and Source of Life had more Vitamins by far. Two teaspoons a day, and a 30 oz. bottle lasted about 3 months. I think you can look at the supplement facts online and compare.

I always took Source of Life Gold chewables before surgery....recommended by my mom years ago because she has a very sensitive stomach and multiple GI issues. They were a yummy "dessert" for me at bedtime. But after surgery, EVERYTHING tasted too sweet to me. I tried their liquid, but still too sweet. I ended up switching to Garden of Life Vitamin Code for Women because it comes in capsules, so there's nothing to taste. Very comparable to the Source of Life Gold and I prefer whole food based Vitamins.< /p>

      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.

        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!
