Has anyone else been forbidden to take gummy vitamins post-op?

Pretty self explanatory....I'm now four weeks post-op and I'm starting to feel hungry, like legit hunger, not head hunger! Lol, anyone else?

Ok, for those of us having trouble getting our Protein in and still crave something yummy and sweet: PROTEIN PACKED PUDDING!!! ...all you need is: 1 box of fat-free/sugar-free jell-o pudding mix Skim or soy milk Your favorite Protein powder ...mix these things together and have a protein packed snack! ************* Don't know what to do with that disgusting (not so) unflavored protein powder??? Well, how about PROTEIN SHOTS?!?! ...all you'll need for this one is: 1 one package of your fav jell-o mix Water And that awful unflavored protein powder....make sure to add A LOT!!!! Pour the mixture into those little condiment cups. (*ya know, the ones we use for actual Jell-O shots, with the alcohol!* wink, wink!!! Refrain from using the vodka this time guys! Lol) Let the mixture congeal and you have yourself little protein shots that you can have each day, just like your supplements! Idk what to do about the awful tasting chewable Vitamins, you'll just have to man up and take them until they're gone...or just chunk them and get more!!! Haha Let it congeal and enjoy as much as you'd like!

Is anyone else not allowed to have caffeine post-op??? I think I'm starting to go into withdrawals! I NEED either coffee or pickles!!! Lol

I mixed vanilla bean jello pudding and my vanilla bean protein powder with skim milk...it's DELISH!!! Whenever I crave something sweet I eat that. So I get my sweet fix and my protein!

OAN: my surgeon is AWESOME! I didnt need my pain meds yesterday and I haven't needed them this morning! But I have noticed the walking helps with the upset tummy from gas!

Geez, I didn't even think about popping anything with the squats! I see the doc on Wednesday, so I'll stop and ask him about it then! So glad I have this outlet and you guys to ask questions! But pre-op my doc did tell me that I could ride my (stationary) bike! It just hasn't come in yet! Lol

5 days...I got sleeved on Monday!

My first post-op workouts!!! Yesterday, I walked a half mile and 50 squats, and today me and my dad walked about two miles and I did 55 squats!!! Too much???

I'm so sorry you guys are having trouble, I haven't had any trouble with my pills...and they sent me home with pills the first day! My incisions are fine too, the glue is starting to peel tho!
