I am 3 weeks out & woke up with a canker sore. OMG this is so not cute & where did it come from ? Ughhhhh

Whenever I get canker sores, my best friend is Carmex. Clears the canker sore right away. Not sure if this is a safe recommendation but I have not had any side effects to using Carmex. My understanding is that canker sores tend to be caused by stress, injury, and intake of acidic or citrus foods but this is just my personal guess as I am not a doctor.

I tend to get them around my period or when I'm especially stressed. Right not, my upper lip is one big series of blisters from a sunburn on Saturday.

Good luck!

I usually get tem when im stressed or just getting over a cold. Im not getting over a cold & i dont believe im feeling stressed.

I was thinking since I haven't strated any Vitamins yet, ( doc said to start 1 month out). Im thinking my immune system might be low. I don't no.

Im down 23 pounds & was feeling a lil sexy & cute but not with this lip thing. Lol pulling the covers over my head lol

Diva, I feel your pain! In got the biggest, nastiest cold sore of my life almost two weeks ago. It's finally scrabbling over, which makes it look like I have a leach on my lip. Disgusting! Whenever I introduce myself, I feel I also need to introduce my cold sore since it is its own entity.

. Go to cvs, walgreens etc and buy Abreva!! Works great!!

I found some zovirax that my doc gave me a while ago.

In my experience, Abreva only works if you start applying it the second you feel that tingling. If I don't get it until later, it doesn't seem to help me.

      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!
