I started the Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin Chewy - I feel nauseous right after taking one.... anyone else the same? Do you get use to it? Or is it better to switch Vitamins?

Hello
It’s been 3 weeks since my gastric sleeve. I am on soft foods now. I have eaten a whole egg with some cheese to soften it no problem, I’ve tried having a healthy version of Nutella when I felt dizzy - no problem no dumping. bread feels uncomfortable and heavy in my stomach. Other than I have no problem with foods and eating. I do feel thirsty sometimes and have the urge to chug ice coldwater , of course I haven’t. Any tips on keeping thirst at bay? How many “sips” can you have at once 3 weeks post op?
The only downside is I feel dizzy if I’m squatting or standing up. Even though I have been cleared for exercise and I’m so eager to start to help avoid sagging, the dizziness is scaring me.. I don’t want to faint.
PS: I tried the ricotta bake.. it was good but too oily and rich for me.

I had mine on the 3rd of February, stayed 2 nights at the hospital. It was a relatively easy surgery. Much much easier than I expected. I didn’t feel the need to take any pain meds at home, I just rested/slept a lot the first day or two at home.
The key is walking as soon as you can to get that gas moving.

Glad it went well!! I just got sleeved too on February 3. Hospital Jello and broth was disgusting! Managed some apple juice while in hospital.
Now that I am back home, I’m sipping on cold milk, coconut Water, some runny Greek yogurts.

I am done! Im feeling ok - much better than I imagined. Not completely painless of course.. dry heaving..upper abdominal pain..
I will have my leak test tomorrow and after that I can start clear fluids.

Tomorrow!!! Excited, scared, nervous!

Good luck to those getting it today ! Mine is tomorrow

February 3 !!
Starting 1 week of pre-op diet tomorrow!!! So excited so nervous so scared.
My pre-op diet :
Breakfast: Low fat milk with half a banana or Optifast or Greek Yogurt with 1/2 a cup of fruits
Lunch: Vegetable Soup with Green salad and Grilled chicken Breast or Fish
Dinner: Vegetable Soup or OPTIFAST bar or Greek Yogurt with 1/2 cup fruits.

Thank you !!

This is totally tasteless and dissolves well in cold or warm food/liquid

So my surgery is next week. I have done a lot of research and watching vlogs.. EVERYONE drinks Protein Shakes post-op. So when I asked my nutritionist about what type of Protein Shake I should be having.. like what carb content, Protein etc. She advised against it as it could cause complications such as heart palpitations.
I think that's weird..... anyone heard about this? Should I just ignore?

Hi
I am Mary, 30 years old and I weigh 202lbs my BMI is 34.6, I gained most of my weight during pregnancy. My baby is now 2 years old, and before having another child I need to lose weight. After failed attempts (dieting, weight watchers, workout 5x a week with 3 different personal trainers), I decided to have weight loss surgery - specifically the Omega loop/mini gastric bypass. No date scheduled yet, getting all the pre surgery tests done.
I have never had any surgery so I don't really know what to expect! Anyone on here had this surgery recently? Any insight would be appreciated, regarding recovery, food intake, pregnancy after surgery, etc..
