My doc gave us a list of Vitamins. Flintstone chewable with Iron was at the top of the list. Centrum Silver chewable, store brand chewables like target, etc, and nature made chewable. Way less expensive than what your doc is trying to get you to buy and has everything you need in it and more. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was the 19th of July. Walking walking and walking helps tremendously with gas. I never had gas bad or in my shoulders because I got up and walked as soon as they took me to my room. I was only on pain meds for 2.5 days because I realized how crucial walking was. I had no vomiting or nausea, buy my doctor throws out all the stops to make sure that didn't happen. If you were sent home with a tummy binder, wear it all the time because it really does help. Collace is great. Remember it's a stool softener, it doesn't make you go. It took me 5 days to poop and now I'm going pretty regular. Congrats on your sleeve and good luck on your journey. We're all here for each other. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

I think as long as we're all posting in the forum, we don't need another specific group inside a group. I'm just saying. Our experiences really aren't that different from others just because the color of our skin. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on the 19th of July. I've been doing really well. I've already lost 30 pounds since doing the 2 week liquid diet and the surgery. This was by far the best decision for me. I've increased my walking distance evey couple days, so I'm up to 2 miles and I've managed to get a Protein and a half in a day. My question is how are you all getting your protein in? I can't go on puree until day 20 and I'm looking forward to some chicken and salmon and humus and cottage cheese. Any suggestions? I use the Premier Protein so that makes part of it easy.... , looking for something else. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

Sent from my Nexus 6 using the BariatricPal App If you have a slight fever, sounds like you need to be calling your doctor. Gas is one thing, but fever is another issue.

I've been on my peo-op diet since this past Tuesday. I have surgery on the 19th. My pre-op diet consists of three Protein shakes a day with skim milk or light soy milk, I use Rutein for the protein. I can have up to 2 cups of lettuce or spinach or greens. That's cooked or regular. 1 light yogurt a day 6oz. 1 cup of sugar free Jello, coffee and tea with no sugar, honey etc... And up to 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth or beef broth a day. Sounds like everyone has something a little different. Guess is dependent on the doc.
