It's been 2 months since surgery and I am by now on a regular diet with no restrictions. I am still having a hard time fulfilling my protein requirements without adding powder or a shake. What do you eat in a day ? Need ideas

Thank you very much!! This is very helpful.

Which chewable/liquid Multivitamins do you take? I tried Centrum and they are absolutely disgusting Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

my NUt said they are good to use but need to monitor with blood work for absorption. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Flinstones. My doctor said to take two and can be taken at the same time. They taste much better than Centrum Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If those are gas pains, you need to walk walk and then walk some more. Everybody says it but it's important. You can use gasex strips. They help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved almost 2 weeks ago and currently on puréed foods. While I get full after a few tea spoons of food, I really feel hungry in between the meals even though I eat every 3 hrs as per dr orders. I didn't expect to be hungry. Is it common? Does it go away or will I always feel hungry but just not able to eat as much? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Isn't Flinstones for children? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just had my surgery on 1/30 and know exactly what you are talking about. What helped me was wonderful people on this forum and reading their success stories, and also thinking about why I am doing it. I made the decision because I've been carrying the weight for my entire life I couldn't do it anymore. I could lose the weight before but I could never maintain it. My weight prevented me from doing things I wanted to. My weight was detrimental to my health and it would only get worse. Surgery is no fun, but it is a tool for a better future. Think what you are doing it. What are your reasons? It will put things in perspective and calm you down. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have a 100.4 fever when i got home from the hospital. There everything was normal. Otherwise i am feeling ok except for tenderness in the stomach. I tried calling the doctor but he doesnt have a service and it says in case of emergency call 911. I dont want to go to a random hospital but not sure if it can wait till morning. Anyone had this?

I had my surgery yesterday morning and since last night my mouth is excruciatingly dry. My tongue has a white coating on it too. Nurses and doctors say that they are no sure what it might be. Did it happen to anyone here? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is tomorrow as well. Surprisingly I am calmer than previous days. This forum helped to ease a lot of my fears (and created some new ones ). I wish for us all best of luck for tomorrow and the journey after. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am having my surgery with Dr Bessler next week. I see this is an older thread and wanted to know how you are all doing? Any last minute advice ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is scheduled for 1/30. I am on my liquid diet for past 5 days and by now used to it. Lost 11 lbs. I have a lot of doubts about surgery. Keep telling myself that I can do this on my own. Although. I've done it before but always came back to same weight later. Did you have doubts before your surgery? Does anyone here regret having it? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
