Down 20 lbs with 40 more to go. I'm feeling very tired. I'm having a tough time getting the Vitamins down. Does have any suggestions?

Just hang in there. I had days where I thought I couldn't take another Protein drink. Or the thought of food was nauseating.

I've had the blues some days and just felt defeated. I'm 11 weeks out and things are just now turning the corner. I feel like I finally have a routine. The first weeks were so touch and go I just did what I could and threw my hands up on the rest.

Just remember every day gets better. So chalk this one up to blah.

It's normal that you are tired right now. Bariatric Choice has Vitamin capsules that might work for you. They don't have that nasty vitaminsy smell and I find them quite easy to swallow. I've been swallowing Actigal since 1 week out and it is about the same size as these Vitamins.

I completely understand. I am at one month and going through the something. I spent Sunday at the mall. Today, I just want to go to bed and wake-up normal. Yes, I am losing weight but not feeling great. I believe that it will get better. You are not alone!

Thank you ... it's been a month and I want to just be alone and sleep. I will try new Vitamins. Your post has been encouragement ... I only told my sister I had the surgery done so it's been hard getting sick around my friends. The thought of another shakes makes me nauseated! But I need to get back on it to lose the next 40 lbs.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
