My first day back to work I was in the break room for lunch, and I am on puréed foods. Well one co worker asks if anyone wanted some cucumber, To which I replied I couldn't have that yet. She knew I was off from work bc I had surgery but didn't know what I was doing. So she asks and I told her gastric bypass.. She immediately says, " omg I hope you have good luck with that, I know people that have almost died bc their electrolytes were too low". So I had only had my surgery about 2 weeks before that. I really didn't know what to say back to that. I just said well I'll try my best to do all the right things. It was so awkward and there was 2 others sitting there looking appalled that she said that. Ugh, people! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am just starting on my Vitamins and they are terrible. I got them from my Drs office, they are huge and chewable! I gagged trying to chew them and swallow. Any suggestions on how to actually get them down?? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery Tuesday the 28 th.. Terrible pain while I was in the hospital, mostly gas pain. I've been home since Thursday and moving very slow. I have been moving some gas, but still have pain inside and at the incisions. Everyday is getting better though. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
