Hi All, just wondering if anyone is on the newer Ultra Multivitamin capsules from Bariatric Advantage. I am wondering what size they are. It says 3 capsules is the dosage, and they are supposed to be more potent. I am currently taking the "regular" multivitamin capsules, which they tote as smaller, non horsepills. I take 6 of those a day. I don't think I could handle a bigger pill to swallow, as I do have a slight stricture. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Crystal Light makes me sick to my stomach now. I've heard Atkins has "water" with 20 grams of Protein and is pretty good. Thinking of trying that... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

UPDATE : Had my endoscopy this afternoon. They found an ulcer. So now I have a liquid med to drink an hour before eating and bed. It's supposed to help form a barrier over the wound so it can heal. I pray this works and heals. 7 weeks of feeling constant nausea and discomfort has been enough... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Constant sour feeling in my pouch, difficulty keeping hydrated due to feeling of fullness all the time. Forcing fluids makes it worse. Protein shakes make me feel sick afterwards. I can handle maybe 6oz of fluid per hour. Have been on Zofran and Reglan- no help.

Just wondering if anyone has had one? I am 7 weeks post op, and have had non-stop tummy issues. My surgeon ordered an immediate endoscopy for tomorrow morning to see if that's my problem. I'm told that if that is, indeed, what's going on, they can fix it and I'll feel a lot better. I am hoping that is what's wrong, just to bring an end to my 24-hour constant feeling of fullness and nausea. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Was it the Alpine Punch, or Fruit Punch?

I have tried all Bariatric Fusion flavors, and have a tub of Orange Cream. My stomach still turns with it. I got the sampler pack of the Nectar as well. Only one I have tolerated well is the vanilla Torte. It rather stinks how slow my recovery has been. Even my surgeon is surprised, but he said there's always 1 who is like me. The last one he had, had her turnaround at 3 months. It was like a snap of the fingers, and she turned around. I hope and hope I do, too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

What flavor or flavors do you like? I saw many like the Alpine Punch or Blue Raspberry. A bit worried about aftertastes, though. I still have a very strong sense of taste and smell.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Hi All, I am 6 weeks out now, and finally able,to tolerate more things. Down 38 pounds since the day of my surgery. I finally had a bit of reduced - fat cheese, or some no-sugar-added peaches. My surgeon told me about Isopure drinks, and thinks they would be a good idea for me. My problem is, it seems you can only buy them by the case, and I'm reading so many mixed reviews. I can't afford to spend $60+ on a drink and then hate it. Has anyone tried them? Some say that some flavors have a yucky aftertaste, too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Your pouch could still be swollen from surgery. It takes a while for it to really heal up. Just take your time with eating and drinking. Also if the vomiting doesn't stop and you dind yourself throwing up everytime you eat or drink call your doctor. Too much vomiting will cause you to go into dehydration and malnutrition. And from someone that suffered from both, you want to avoid it at all cost. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Yes, I think most of me is still swollen. My surgeon wanted to see me after that episode last week. When he was feeling around the outside of my belly, he asked if certain spots were sore, and they were. He said he was surprised they were still tender, so I know I'm not healing as quickly as others. I am taking it slow. He did want me to get iv fluids, as he could even smell that I was dehydrated. My lungs told him. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I just can't stand the vomiting! Last week Thursday, I was having a great day. Then, all of a sudden, I felt soo nauseous. Wound up running to the bathroom and stayed there for a while. My poor husband felt helpless. My stomach was angry all night. When I spoke to my surgeon the next day, he said I might not have done anything wrong. That worried me. What caused it, if I didn't do it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

chocolate Protein shakes aren't very appetizing. I haven't smelled actual chocolate yet... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

My RNY was Feb 16. The first thing I noticed was how my sense of smell was greatly heightened. I hate it. I can smell ANYONE'S breath within a few yards of me, and it is horrible. It truly and literally churns my stomach and gives me the heaves. My taste buds have changed as well, and Water tastes yucky. I have tried Propel plain with electrolytes, Polar, and am about to try Fiji. I do like Propel Grape for a flavor, but sometimes I want just plain old water. Crystal Light seems too heavy on taste now. I am also having troubles with Protein. I get nauseous still while drinking. I still only have 1 ounce every 15 minutes. My surgeon suggested GENEPRO, which has 30 grams of protein in 1 tbsp. However, every time I've tried mixing it into a drink, I wound up vomiting later.. I'm supposed to be eating applesauce, and blended Soups, but I'm actually scared to try them, since every time I try adding a new item, I get very sick. I know I can't take new things as quickly as my surgeon's handbook says, as far as the food stages. I obviously have to go slower. This is just so nerve-wracking!

You look absolutely fabulous!!!! I hope in one year, I can look as amazing as that!!!! You should be so proud of yourself!!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I have been in the same boat. Even when I do fall asleep, I wake every hour. My surgeon suggested Benadryl, the children's liquid, but my stomach does not tolerate it. So, it continues each night.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
