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

You are very welcome:). I am in a rural area so figured if I wanted to sample I would have to do online.

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.

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!

ZoeyBear,

I wish you the best of luck Thursday and on your journey to follow.

I had hernia repair and surgery at the same time. I didn't know I had a hernia so I had no issues before and have had no complications or issues with Gerd, acid reflux or heartburn post-op.

Best wishes to you!

Did you have GERD, acid reflux, or heartburn before surgery?

[oatmealgirl 56]

@@sh1211 no I did not. I didn't know I had a hernia until I had an endo. I have no issues with GERD, acid reflux or heartburn now either and I am a spicy food and coffee kinda girl.
