    Vitamin patches

    My dietitian says never use patches they do not work. Find chewable vititams but not gummies.

    Bowel Movement

    I was the same way. I drank a few ounces of pickle juice and it helped. I tried other stuff but it didn’t help

    Right side chest pain with deep breathing.

    I called Dr said it is an issue maybe right after surgery with your lungs. Need to use that device they gave for breathing

    Right side chest pain with deep breathing.

    I am right now. And it also feels a little similar to heartburn symptoms at times. I had my surgery 3/22.

    When can I eat?

    I have been on a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery (3/22) and working on my final 3rd week after surgery. I have my follow up Dr appointment next Thursday and a first bite class the same day. I will get to go to puréed food then and when they tell me I can go to food after that. I think they said 1 week on puréed. I have seen every doctor is different. I hope this helps but I would definitely do what your own doctor says to do

    Period from hell...

    I saw my ob gyn and I am going through the early stages of menopause. I thought my period after having kids was bad. I laid on my stomach for a little bit but I have to find my heating pad. Maybe it will help with the pain of my period. Not having any pain from surgery, I just want to scratch... healing process so I don’t. Thank you for your story.
