When did you last have your abs done? Sounds like you're deficient in something, maybe potassium...? If it gets unbearable, you should def go to the ER.

I had my last lab done at the end of July and i was low in Vitamin D (very low) about 11 and is suppose to be around 85

the test did't showblow pottasium, but now that you mentioned my pottasium was low the day after my surgery and they gave me a shot..

The pain is bad, like when you did a lot of exercise..

You can try eating banana (half a banana a day) and that will give you a good dose of potassium. Otherwise it sounds like it might be time to talk with the dr. I hope you feel better.

I was feeling bad and they put me on mega doses of Vitamin D....like 50,000 units a week! My number was a 6!! Did they give you additional supplements? If it doesn't get better, I would call your doctor. Because we are not eating a lot we are missing vital nutrients so we have get them in. Btw...I hate taking Vitamins...I'm thinking about getting one of those pill boxes that my grandmother used to have just so I can keep up with all of them!! Hope you are feeling better soon!

Karnie - The pill box (w/ 7 days) makes taking the Vitamins much easier. You don't have to open up each bottle every time you want to take a dose. Plus I can look at the pill box and see if I took mine that day or not. I had my 3 month post surgery labs and everything was good except I need more Vit D, but I was just low, not rock bottom like you.

Yeah, I am definitely going to invest in one! And hopefully my levels will go up! And congrats on your weight loss so far! I can't wait to be in the 2's!!

      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.

        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!
