I had my surgery in April 2018. I took the vitamins like I was supposed to but found they made me sick to my stomach. I stopped after month 2. I went for my 3 month check up and everything was perfect. I have recently noticed my right foot starts to tingle like it's falling asleep and is sort of numb on the top. This starts when I get home and doesn't really get better until I get up the next day and start moving around. I started taking my vitamins again yesterday in hopes that it might be a vitamin deficiency. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance!

I wanted to know about this too. I had my surgery on 4/11. I didn't notice much hair loss until the beginning of this month. It is coming out in masses. I have super thick hair too, I just thought since I'd hit the four month mark I was clear. I read earlier to up my protein... but what else can I do? I'm so afraid to run my hands through my hair cause it falls out so easily. Will my body every come back from this? Will I grow my hair back??? Help me!!! I want to cry!

Hey! I had my surgery 4/11. I have been losing about 1 lb a day. When I started on soft foods, like hard boiled egg, pinto beans, etc., it stopped. I have been the same for the last three days. Am I doing something wrong? I feel so much better now that I can eat more normal foods, but I'm feeling like maybe this isn't going to work. Also, when I eat, I still don't get a "full" feeling. Just pain, so I stop eating. Its usually after 3-4 bites. I find the slower I go between bites the better. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!

I want to know as well. When do people start getting the full feeling? I had surgery on 4/11. I'm not having much trouble with he liquid diet or getting enough water down. What I am having trouble with is my brain hunger. I wanted to know will I get the full feeling while I'm on my liquid diet? Or will that happen when I start soft foods? (Which is in a week). Also, my brain wants taco bell so bad I could cry. I mean seriously... I wasn't much of a fan of it before surgery. What is going on??

Hey, I had a drainage bulb the day off surgery and he removed it the next day at my post op appointment. It drained a good bit the night after my surgery. They wanted me to squeeze the tube and drain my stomach. My mom tried this and I about murdered her. It was the most intense, sickening pain ever. I decided that emptying the bulb and making sure it was squeezed with no air in it when I was done, to keep the vacuum going. The next day after surgery he removed it. I have a pretty big hole, about the size of a dime. Its starting to scab so I think it's healing well. As far as showering, he said all incisions are fine except for drainage whole. If it is sill leaking then cover it until you have a well developed scab. hope this helps someone!

Had surgery on April 11th, on the pre op diet I used Premier Protein drinks and Nectar (no flavor) protein powder. The Premier Protein drinks are great with 30g a bottle. The nectar works great with crystal light and water. Premium protein can also be found almost anywhere. Amazon has clear drinks made by them as well. Right now I'm on the clear liquid diet until monday, then I will go back to full liquid diet for two weeks. Good luck!
