Please help. My 3 a day Flinstones are making me sick to my stomach and my skin is itchy all over with patches. Any suggestions on alternative vitamin sources. Went to dermatologist and told me I had "contact dermatitis " most likely from the vites. Please help. Need suggestions on what you all do for vitamins. Thank you!

Hi Jen, please try a pain doctor. Mine does Epidurals and Caudal blocks. We are in the same boat and I know how you feel. I'm scheduled for a caudal block this coming Friday because my tail bone out of control. It takes about 3 days to recover from the shots but they last about 1-2 years (hopefully). Look in to it. -
Something I thought about... Maybe our spines are repositioning due to less weight in the abdominal area???? Never the less it hurts like a you know what!

I just tried Centrum Chewables (adult). Way better tasting than Flinstones. Stomach was agreeable and Centrum actually has more vitamins and minerals than Flinstones. Yay !!!!! -

Equate ... Is that the Target brand? I remember seeing those somewhere. -
I get really hot and sweaty after eating sometimes. This is after meals of entirely Protien. Cottage cheese, scrambled egg whites with cheese and low carb yogurt. Feels almost like a hot flash. Does anyone else experience this weirdness? Lol

You can tell with in 5 minutes. At least that's how long it took me with Edamame beans. :-( -
Had anybody started using any skin firming creams or lotions? If so, has anybody had any success with them?

Kmiller Bummer! Are you working out heavily? Muscle weighs more than fat so if your gaining muscle that could be why your not losing on the scale. Like I said measure your inches. Good luck to you! :-)

Kmiller I see your surgery was on May 1, mine was May 9th. How much weight have you lost do far?
-
Hi, maybe start taking your measurements. I am one of those people who notices the inches decreasing before the scale number does. Just a thought. Give it a try.

Wow! Take it slow. 20-30 minutes a day is all you need right now.

Hey ladies and gents. I was wondering if anyone has experienced the loud sounds of digestion once your food is swallowed? After I swallow, I can actually hear and feel the food moving down and in to the pouch. At first I thought I was crazy but my son heard it when I was eating pured Soup.

Can't get all my water in, can't get my 60 grams of protein in and can't go #2. This is all making me extremely exhausted. Boooooo!!! :-(

Good luck Stephane, let us know how it goes.

@vamp 4 weeks post op. I guess I'll make a call to the doc. I didn't know acid would cause this but I did have GERD before the surgery.
