Just wondering. I have had multiple mouth ulcers/ canker sores. Very odd, I have not had them in probably 25 years. Anyone have experience post op? Could it be a deficiency? I'm on my Vitamins and get plenty of Protein. Normal oral hygiene routine.

In my experience, they tend to happen more when you're stressed. I'd say surgery qualifies as a stressor. I like to either dab straight salt on them (burns), or rinse with salt Water. Try to make sure you are getting plenty of rest and relaxation.

Of course you can always bring it up with your doc.

I typically get them from drinking coffee or eating acidic foods like tomatoes. Are you possibly eating foods that would irritate your gums/mouth?

My md office told me today they dont feel like it's some deficiency. So, now I'm focusing on acidic foods. Protein does tend to be more acidic. Ty for help.

Try taking the supplement Lysine. It's an amino acid available at all drugstores. It helps tremendously with canker sores I take one pill twice a day when I get a canker sore until it heals

My husband I are long term sufferers. It's awful and I hope you feel better soon.

My husband gets relief from lysine. For me, massive doses of Vitamin C work.

If you have a good dentist, see if they can help. They have a magic potion that will instantly cauterize and totally get rid of the pain. Debacterol is the name. Hurts like heck, but only for a few seconds.

Many pharmacies also have a magic mouthwash. I think you need a rx, but they will mix it up and some find relief.

Hope you feel better soon! (recovering from 4 myself)

Thanks. I'll try the lysin. I'm almost healed up and hope there is no more coming. I had 7, yes 7 at one time. Ha, guess what? I lost weight from not eating.

Baking soda mouth rise worked well. Decided to fight the acid.

Using herbal natural remedy was what got me tested negative to HSV 2 after been diagnosed for years.I have spend so much funds on medications like acyclovir (Zovirax), Famciclovir (Famvir), and Valacyclovir (Valtrex). But it was all a waste of time and my symptoms got worst. To me It is very bad what Big pharma are doing, why keep making humans suffer greatly just to get profits annually for medications that doesn't work.I'm glad that herbal remedies is gaining so much awareness and many people are getting off medications and activating their entire body system with natural herbal remedies and they are become holistically healed totally.

I am having this same issue post VSG. Two days after surgery I started with two and have had between 2-6 since then with some respite when I took dexamethasone and chlorhexidine Rx rinses. When I stopped taking the rinses though, they returned. We (Doctors & I) are wondering if it is a sensitivity to sugar/sugar alcohols/stevia/monkfruit. Any one else experience this and able to resolve the sores?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
