Bariatric Advantage Vitamins are tuff for lots of people try other brands until you find one you can tolerate, I use source of life adult chewable and split the dose 1 am & 1pm- $25.00 for 45 days . Early after surgery I had some mild lactose intolerance so mixing Isopure lo carb Dutch chocolate with Water was a game changer. Also check out Unjury chicken Soup 20 g Protein and is a nice savory ( salty ) change. Hope you feel better soon!

For me writing it down is even more important than what I eat... When I write what I eat down I maintain consciousness about what Im putting in my body, and end up making better choices, planing for treats and planing ahead which all contribute to success. I also have started using a fitbit, which lets me know how many calories I am expending, and lets me know what my intake can be to still maintain or lose. After a 4 month stall.... eating less than I burn, I have started losing a little weight. At one time I swore I would never count calories again... but I have to, to be successful. Its just the way it is for me. I also work to really enjoy my life, and do lots of spontaneous stuff, keep busy learning new things and try not to get too hung up on equating the numbers on the scale, myfitnesspal and the fitbit with my self worth.

1 pound of fat = 3,500 calories. Did you, in the past day, consume 12 x 3,500 = 42,000 calories more than you burned? Really? I'm just going to be blunt here, sorry, no backrubs from me ... This is going to be a long journey if you really expected weight loss the day after your surgery. Are you looking to lose weight or fat? I see you have been a member here on VST since last year and have almost 400 posts. Surely you have been reading threads similar to what you have posted ... right?

That all looks pretty good , nice job! I am 15 months out one scrambled egg is all I can fit comfortably. I still drink 2-4 Protein Drinks a day. One whey 30 grams when I wake and one casein 30 grams at bed every day. Plus a pre and post workout about 30 grams each.

Ok Betty I will say it 'cause it seems like you don't get it! When you say low BMI over and over it's like saying "not as fat as you bit- chez"! are you sure you need this surgery ? With that low BMI . Pretty sad talking "fatties" in one thread and asking for a mentor in another ! FYI BMi = BS. I am 6"4' 199lbs go chart my BMi I almost qualify for surgery however my body fat% is 8.5 -10 most of that is skin. Be afraid of any surgeon who picks bougie before seeing length or condition of your stomach, or let's you dictate it! Good luck

It is quite possible that on the fourth of July you could be 100 pounds lighter, and eating a burger. One day at a time!! As internal swelling goes down bloating will resolve. Feel better!!!

Uh ... IMO, you NUT is absolutely correct. Everybody is going to be different depending on their tolerances and how quickly their stomach heals and the swelling goes down. What works for one person is not going to work for another. Some folks have no problems getting in all of their liquids and Proteins a week post-op. Others, such as myself, took a lot longer. Some folks become lactose intolerant, have reflux issues ... etc ...
Think about it. Weight loss is going to happen. It has to. You are going to be consuming far fewer calories than you are expending. Are you looking for weight loss or fat loss?
It is my experience, when I see posts such as this, the expectations for weight loss far exceed what is reality. You have made the decision to have WLS and all you are concerned about is losing weight. Do you have any interest in feeding your body what it needs? Is your plan to do a low-carb diet like we all have tried a half dozen times before we had the sleeve? Since the low-carb diet worked so well for us before we had the sleeve, do you think it is going to work now?
Sounds like your NUT is telling you something you don't want to hear, so you are going to fire them. You will always be able to find someone who tells you what you want to hear, so why even bother? Same thing here on VST. Someone will always validate what you want to do whether it be good or bad ...
Remember, it was our best thinking that got us to this point, so why do we believe we really know what is best for us? It might be time to be willing to do what the experts suggest ... at least for awhile.

We need a separate forum just for this topic, also 3 week stall ( or any stall ) and if I put a big Mac in the blender is that purée food questions. I am amazed that it's gone 50+ posts and nobody has been called a nazi yet, when did it get so ok to toss that term around ? Anyway sorry to interrupt, please continue "supporting" one another !

I was taking them whole at 2 weeks had no problems. Every one loses differently so don't be discouraged,

And BTW OP.. This is a public forum. You asked a question and some of us answered, but apparently you don't like our answer. So you call us names?
Please, play nicely
