What are the best Vitamins to take after being sleeved? Which ones help prevent hair loss?

I am 13 days post op and I have only lost 5lbs. I am soooo discouraged. I am very blessed that I haven't had any complication. I am on puree food and I have no problem getting in my protein, but the scale hasn't moved. I am so sad

Thanks everyone!!!! @@linedancer718 I went and picked up some probiotics

I need help. Can anyone tell me what's a good flavorless protein powder I can put in my yogurt, soup &etc... I'm 6 days post op and I need to start getting some protein in.

Surprisingly I feel good. No nausea, no pain & no stomach cramps. My heart rate and blood pressure is elevated though so they are keeping me an extra day. Anyone else have this problem after surgery?

Today is Day#2 post-op an I am doing pretty well. No pain, no gas discomfort, no nausea and I an able to keep down watery and apple juice. My heart rate & blood pressure is running high though. I had to go to radiology and perform that test to see if I hag a leak but everything went well. Hopefully I'll go home today. @@luvtie it will start feeling better everyday after today

CocteauJ, I believe that your husband is just scared for you. Maybe it's due to lack of knowledge. It's evident that your weight don't bother him. Which is a good thing because you know he love you just the way you are now. But educated him on the risk of obesity. Let him know how it feel to be the size you are now and what limitations you are experiencing because of it. Talk to him. I pray that everything work out and he come around. If not, you have a great support system here and we got your back

Are you on a liquid diet?

These shakes are disgusting. I have tried multiple different ones at this point and I can only tolerate Syntrax. I am allergic to milk so I need a Protein powder that I can mix with Water. I am going to store that sell Bariatric fusion Protein Powder and I pray I like these Pray for me!!!!

How am I going to make 10 days pre-op and post-op with these shakes if they make me feel like this??? They are tearing my stomach up.

@@majorsmama that's a good idea. I'm going to try that. Thank you!

Thank you!

I've tried premier, syntrax, & whey isolate (strawberry). I can tolerate syntrax but after awhile I become nauseous. I am allergic to milk so I've mixed all of them with water

You can get it online. I live in Buffalo, NY and there is a store here that sell their products

You sound like me. Most of all I hate shopping for clothes. That's when depression set it. But on July 21st that will all change for me. I'm happy I finally chose to take this journey.

Thanks everyone

Thank you!!!

My pre-op diet is for 10 days & consist of this BREAKFAST: 1 high Protein shake LUNCH: 1 high protein shake AFTERNOON SNACK: 1/2 cup non starchy veg. DINNER: 1 high protein shake EVENING SNACK: 1 high protein shake and I can have all the non carbonated sugar free beverages I want.

My surgery is scheduled for July 21st. I'm so excited. I'm dredging my pre-op diet though

You only have to do 1 week of the pre-op diet????? YOU LUCKY! I have to do 2 weeks of it before and after, then I can graduate to full liquids. Good luck to you and let me when you you receive your surgery date.

I am so excited. I'm just waiting for my doctor office to call me with a date so I can become sleeved. I've completed all my pre-op test and appts. I'm nervous about beginning my liver reduction diet, but happy to be one step closer to a healthier me. So, it's nice to meet everyone here an I am happy to become part of this famil
