I slept fine in a bed. The pain for me was manageable with Tylenol, which was great because my doctor will not prescribe pain meds unless you stay in the hospital. I just used pillows. Good luck

Well, I think I have the best doctor in the world and I had absolutely no alcohol restriction except that you should be avoiding getting calories from liquids. There is some statistical data that indicates a higher rate of alcoholism in WLS patients, but there is also a higher rate of sex addiction. The fact is that if you are a food addict and the surgery takes away, or impedes that addiction an addiction transfer can occur. Just take it easy and talk to your doctor if you can.

I think I was about 500 calories, you should be getting all of your protein etc from whole foods by this point.

Just keep in mind these are guidelines, goals to strive to achieve, you won't do it perfectly every day. Just keep trying.

It gets better, you are still in early days. Keep us posted.

Est whatever you want! Just don't overeat.

Try to eat for 20 minutes, waiting 1 minute between each bite. You will know when you are full. Each bite should be the size of a marble, thoroughly chew!! You will do great! There are a lot of "shoulds" but you will get there if you try.

My doctor said it was unnecessary to crush pills, just take with plenty of water and wait several minutes between pills.

That is exactly what my doctor prescribed. I use bariatric advantage for vitamins and calcium

I was told to wait for blood work before adding iron.

Get well soon.

You will do great. It works if you work it! Keep us posted!

You don't need to take a brand name. I take bariatric advantage and am quite happy with them, but as long as the vitamins have the recommended dosage prescribed by your doctor, you will be good!

You are doing great. It sounds very much like my recovery 10 months and 7 lbs from my goal weight. Keep it up! It works if you work it!

You will do great! I promise it is worth it!

Mine was 3 months. Only lasted for 2 months

Stitches dissolve, I had no hands on follow up, just check ups where they ask questions,osy about your progress and diet.

I planned for 2 weeks, but only took 1

I like the bariatric advantage chewable multi. Pretty good for a vitamin

Congratulations!!! I buy jewelry, shoes or new technology. Keep it going!

My doctor never required crushed pills, even for the one huge pill I had to take. His advice was to take them slowly, waiting several minutes between each pill.

It will get better each day. Good luck!

Congratulations! Your life will change dramatically!

I was forbidden from protein shakes after week 2. The doctor wants his patients to get protein from whole food.

You just had major surgery! This is time for you to heal, I think it is natures way of protecting you.
