pansy63 21 Posted April 4, 2015 @@sh1211 I found samples at unjury', and Bariatric Choice and there is another place called Natasha? Not sure of name on last one. Also picked up a sample pack at netrition I also got some individual bottles of Isopure RTD for right after surgery it is clear liquid with 40 grams of Protein. THe other sample pack I got was syntax nectar from smart body nutrition. I didn't want to buy big containers until I figured out what flavors I liked:). To find them I just did a google search for protein powders or drink samplers:). Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

healthiswealth 3 Posted April 5, 2015 My hernia was a SURPRISE, so was repaired at the time of surgery. No issues to date, but then again, I had no hernia issues prior to surgery, either. Didn't even know it was there. But apparently she was a good sized one, and took awhile to fix. The only thing was after the surgery, taking Water was very difficult, and sometimes it still is. So we take care of that by drinking warm (not hot) water 1st thing in the morning, so as to not shock the already contracted tummy, and eating a couple of bites of soft food before eating anything hard or crunchy, to sort of "prime" the tummy for other foods. I've been told it will take about a year for my hernia to fully heal, and to not lift anything over 10lbs until cleared, again about a year. Good luck to you all.... This identical to me. Total surprise. The only thing is when I woke up in recovery I couldn't hardly breathe. Very short breaths. I'm fine now, no issues at all except the water.

ZoeyBear 64 Posted April 6, 2015 My VSG and hernia repair is this coming Thursday! The hernia was a total surprise, found during my endoscopy. I haven't had any symptoms of a hiatal hernia, so I'll be surprised to see what differences I feel after surgery. I'll try to let you know, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
