Why My Surgery Got Cancelled! Surgery After Weight Loss

No dodgy ingredients? Look up maltodextrin in LMNT. They hid under “natural flavors” 400 mg of maltodextrin ( a high glycemic index sugar)per packet and only disclose in July when they were outed.

[@janetandrews1306]

@@rhondav4204 She doesn’t care bc she wants to make money! Maltodextrin is very bad for the gut microbiome!

Yeah, plus they add plain table salt, sodium chloride, as one of the main ingredients. Sea salt with a wide spectrum of trace minerals is way better.

[@shellsbells579]

They should offer to buy back all their product due to their fraudulent practices. I'm not surprised that a class action lawsuit hasn't started yet. Maltodextrin is poison, banned in many countries and causes a glycemic spike worse than regular sugar. I won't do business with a company that hides poison in their products and only discloses what's in their products when they cornered and outed.

The quickest way to boost iron is cook everything in cast iron pans. My sister needed to get hers up and this worked much faster then diet and supplements. She also got a cast iron tea kettle for her tea and coffee. Her doctor was impressed how much quicker that worked.

I’m with you. Not because I’m against plastic surgery but because it’s unnecessary. Her arms and body are beautiful. Five years from now she may say ‘ what was I thinking, I looked fine. I know someone who was healthy and had that surgery due to excess skin. It was knarly. She went to a great Dr at Crdar Sinai . It may sound like a small surgery but it’s not. She later had a neck & facelift and said those were a breeze compared to her arm surgery. It really is unnecessary unless maybe you have huge bat wings. Think twice Myra. You’ve come a long way.

If you are concerned about what you drink and eat. LMNT contains Maladextroine (sp?) more than what they have been saying. It's hidden under the natural flavors. If you need more iron you really shouldn't be cutting out certain foods to help you. My mom used to add rasins to her oatmeal to get more iron.

[@Shimmer2277]

LMNT also contain so much sodium and very little potassium. We need twice as much potassium as we need sodium. A 2/1 ratio. And you can always consume additional sea salt if your body needs it. The one in the video contains 1,000mg of sodium and 200mg of potassium. It should be the other way around.

There are better and cheaper electrolyte powders on the market. I get ones that are zero calorie and zero sugar online with better ingredients that are cheaper.

Maltodextrin. IF you've ever USED LMNT--and it's clear you haven't--you would know whether the maltodextrin affects you negatively.

LMNT is having problems with their ingredients. There is a lot maltodextrin in those packets and they don’t disclose it and some people have had reactions.

[@Shimmer2277]

I've been reading about this. Maltodextrin raises blood sugar more than sugar and spikes insulin. It can take people out of ketosis and it's dangerous for diabetics. Is it in the stevia?

[@twinfin8571]

@ . I bought it from KetoTwins link and I was vey exited to get it. I made one packet and was sipping on it while working in the kitchen. After about half gone, I got nauseous and dizzy. I felt terrible. I don’t have, and have never had any allergies and I’m very healthy. I threw the rest of the glassful out. I few days later I tried it again with the same issue happening. I notified the company and they credited my account. No questions asked but I wanted to tell them what was happening to me. Anyway. Since then I’ve read and seen a lot about it. Serious Keto talks about it. I think there may be some law suit going on. I read at least one woman had to go to the hospital after drinking it. I’m sure it doesn’t cause problems for the majority of people but supposedly the ingredients say 4mg of maltodextrin and there’s more like 400-500mg. Pretty deceptive if that’s true.

[@twinfin8571]

@@Shimmer2277 . Besides that, it has caused maybe some type of allergic reaction. I read of a woman who ended up in the ER. I am healthy and have never had allergies or reactions to any food. I have a primo gut. But, after sipping on my first packet while busy in the kitchen, I got nauseous and dizzy after half the glass. I stopped drinking it cuz I was feeling so bad. I didn’t know what was going on but I threw out the rest and a few days later drank it again not thinking it was the cause of my strange issue. Low and behold, it happened again. I’ve not tried a third time. I just couldn’t understand what had happened. Then, months later, I heard about this. Now I figure it was the maltodextrin which I will always avoid if I know a product contains it. LMNT should be more forthcoming with the ingredients although it wouldn’t have helped me initially because I didn’t know I had a problem with that additive and I probably would have ordered it anyway.

[@Shimmer2277]

@@twinfin8571 I'm sorry you experienced this. It's in so many drinks, foods and supplements. I think it's even sprayed on some crops. I believe maltodextrin is one of the worst things you can consume. It needs to be removed like so many other unhealthy ingredients.

[@shenandoah1322]

A tip for dealing with scars after surgery: 3 times a day massage a good quality hand cream into your scars and they will not become thick and dark. They will turn white and remain relatively elastic. I had surgery just over 3 years ago when I fractured my kneecap and shattered the tibial plateau. My occupational therapist told me to do this otherwise I would have a lot of discomfort and issues with my scar, which is about 10 inches long. I did this, and have not had any problems with my scar.

🌴Myra, ( Pumpkin ) , you made the right choice, if you would of had it done and things didn’t turn out like you wanted , you could have emotional scarring 👈🏼 to go with the ones you already had , along with a healthy body goes a healthy mind , you made changes with your body and now with your way of thinking , so 👍🏼👍🏼two thumbs up ,once you feel like everything is normal you go get the surgery gal .

Then they told me that I would have to be on 3 a day for the rest of my life... still worth it, and yes I eat a lot of meat! I also figured out that if I mix spinach, kale, and parsley together in a side dish or in "the green protein shake" it boosts my iron almost immediately - within 10-15 minutes! I feel the difference!

Good for you for putting yourself first. We should always go into scheduled surgery when we are at our best possible lab levels. So many people don't put enough importance on healing. When I had weight loss surgery one of the things my surgeon impressed upon me was to relax, take care of myself, and listen to my body but most importantly, take my pain medication as scheduled. He said, "Don't try to tough it out. If your body is using up resources to fight the pain that means those resources aren't being used to heal." I'm sure you'll raise your iron quickly with your new regimen and look forward to hearing your updates.

It’s good you postponed. When I was about 65, I was scheduled for my second knee replacement surgery. I had my first about 5 months before. The same thing happened to me…I was ready to go, when the surgeon and anesthesiologist came in and told me that while I wasn’t anemic, my hemoglobin, which is apparently sort of like a “reserve,” (as it was explained to me) had not yet come back to the number it was prior to my first knee replacement surgery. The surgery was postponed so they could run some test to see if I was somehow bleeding internally, perhaps from the stomach. They never found any bleeding, and a couple of months later, even though my hemoglobin number still wasn’t as high as they thought it should be, I had the second surgery. It went fine. My hemoglobin has never risen to the level it was before my first knee surgery. Go figure! But, I felt good about them being so cautious. Your surgery will come in its right time! 🌸

You're desperate for human interaction, and I know I'm right because you're going to reply to me. Just being a hater is way too simple.

If this helps, 100% of the time you wear clothing. I can understand if you have to walk around constantly nude.

I'll just say be grateful you have the $ for surgery ❤️ I just found out I have diastasis recti that I can't fix on my own and am trying! I look and feel 3 months pregnant all the time and it's soo frustrating as I'm thin but don't look it if you look at my tummy 😭 So I was told it can be fixed for $10,000!!! What normal person can afford that?!! I'm soo depressed cause this is something that doesn't go away no matter how hard I work and I work hard at exercise and staying fit. It has caused body dysmorphia for soo long and controls my life and it seems like it will forever. Anyway...be grateful you can afford the surgery whether or not you cdd as n have it....

What supplement are you taking for dry skin & hair?

[@tmrivera84]

I’m new to your story. Did you gave gastric-bypass? If you did, have they checked your ferritin (stored iron). I’m glad you’re doing what feels best for you. Good luck.

I get hypertrophic scars too and they can get painful. I’ve had multiple large lumpectomies and each incision developed them. I went to my dermatologist and he injected some sort of cortisone/steroid in them. After a few weeks I noticed the scars decreasing and within a few months they were so much better. They are still there but not ugly, raised and red.
