      I know the feeling. I'm not quite 7 months yet (6-1/2 months) and I feel like I'm eating too much. Not losing weight anymore :(

    I'm not sure I can stand another day taking these chewable Flintstones vitamins...

    1. Renkoss

      You don't have to use a bariatric specific vitamin. I use an Adult Multi-Vitamin from Puritan's Pride that are chewable and the taste is not horrible (strawberry/banana). The vitamin has everything required after bariatric surgery, but is just an Adult Multi. I just had blood work done and all my levels are fine.

      Get a sublingual B12 pill and a gentle iron. Should help without too much problems from them.

    3 days post op and sick of water and broth Anyone got any ideas on what else I can have

    1. Renkoss

      Renkoss

      You don't have to stick to just chicken broth either; try some beef consomme, veggie broth, or strained cream of chicken or strained cream of mushroom. Trust me, the difference in flavor makes a huge difference.

    I've been accused of a lot of things in my life, but never before today have I been accused of using a generic internet model as my picture.

      I'm in the same boat. I was thinking of trying the same thing; or at least add back in a shake or two.

    Was so looking forward to having steak....now I feel like I am dying....

    1. Renkoss

      Renkoss

      I feel for you. I had steak for the first time in 8 weeks and it tasted good, went down, but make me feel nauseous and unwell. I did not vomit, but it wasn't pleasant. I'll wait about a month and try again.

    boo. it looks like they want me to schedule my first colonoscopy.

    1. Renkoss

      Renkoss

      I just had one done literally 2 weeks before my surgery. They actually couldn't finish because it was too painful. I need deep sedation; not just twilight sleep. They said I didn't have to repeat for 5 years, but I question that. Colonoscopies are not that bad; it is the prep that really sucks.
