Thank you all for responding. I have tried the centrum chewables but gag! I was just wondering what everyone else is doing, I am also still struggling with my protein intake. It's been a rough 4 weeks (hospitalized twice since surgery), but I feel myself getting better everyday

Ok I am 4 wks out, down 39 lbs and just now starting to eat and feel better, but I am so tired all of the time. What vitamins are good and why can't we do gummies? I need to know what is gonna help with my lack of energy

Thank you. I have lost 26 pounds in 11 days so the doc just wants something in me. He says I need the calories right now so it doesn't matter, but I can barely tolerate water. I went for a leak test today and everything was negative they said I had just had excessive swelling!?!?

Admitted back into the hospital for dehydration. how are you doing?

Thanks ya'll. Got 2 liters pumped back in me and waiting for the doc. I will keep you updated.

Severe dehydration, being admitted....prayers please!

I am exactly one week out and yes that is every ounce lost since last Monday. I can't get my shakes down, just water and very little jello.

Mine has been rough and I've had some complications. I hope and pray you do better. I still can't keep hardly anything down, but I have lost 22.5 pounds. So far I'm still in the regret phase tho :/

The bright side to being so sick is that I'm down 22.5 pounds in a week but that's crazy fast. I can't even get my protein down!

Me too they are so nasty!

Thank you all for responding. Actually my surgeon says he doesn't care and I can do pureed foods at this point, but I can't tolerate anything. I just took one small bite of vanilla pudding and I am already paying for it. I feel like I am starving, I can't find anything I can tolerate other than water.

I'm one week out and craving tomatoes so bad. Tomato soup, pizza, spaghetti sauce etc that kind of stuff. I'm thinking a couple sips of tomato soup would be ok!?!?!

Yes I am feelin better, thank you!

No

Thank you for the words of encouragement! It's probably the nurse in me expecting the worst, I don't know, but I will take a deep breath and calm down. I hope and pray in a few months, my regrets disappear! I have lost 11 pounds in 4 days

I'm not actually using a straw that was just a term used to describe the consistency. I did call him and he told me to go back on clear liquids for a few more days. I feel like I am starving. I have had a hard time from day one for whatever the reason. With a collapsed lung, extreme nausea and pain, I'm wondering if its all going to be worth it! I keep reading where everyone else is doing so well and I just wonder why I am NOT! :/

I have been doing the gas x. His exact words were "I don't care if it's spaghetti sauce as long as it fits thru the straw".... either way I know it will be quite some time before I do potatoes again. I'm going to just kind of rest today and if it doesn't go down by tomorrow I will call somebody. It doesn't hurt is all at all as long as I'm still?

Do you know if there is anything I can do to ease it? I'm just afraid I caused some type of damage?!?!?

Was sleeved on 1/27 and my surgeon told me I could have anything that would go thru a straw and I chose liquified mashed potatoes last night. Today I am in a lot more pain and my belly is huge! Has this happened to anyone and do you think I caused damage to my sleeve!

Thanks curvycakes

I'm having lots of pain, can't hold anything down, and I'm very short of breath. Prayers please!!!!

it's the robotic machine they use ....thanks but I'm not real sure I can watch that video right now lol

Wow! My surgeon uses the Da Vinci so I was just curious!

Has anyone else here had the DaVinci?

Me too! I check in at 1000!
