I’m about to try it. Did you end up doing it? I went to the dr and had gained 20 lbs.

I'm 7 months out yesterday, and I'm able to drink fine. Just NOT after eating! Learned that the hard way several times. Food just washes right back up.

Jello? I learned to love me some Jello! And I found some flavored protein water at CVS. I think its called Trimino. They're pretty good when you need a change of flavor.

That's a great idea! Never crossed my mind. Too bad I don't do too much cooking! (I live alone!)

My NUT and my Dr. said dummies are fine, just to make sure you chew them correctly. There's still acid in your stomach, or nothing that passes through would digest. I'm about to switch to a prenatal vitamin, though. My hair is falling out like crazy, even though I take a multi-vitamin and a dissolvable biotin supplement.

They brought me a popsicle and a red Powerade right after surgery. I threw it up right after. It looked like blood and freaked me out. I still can't have red sports drinks. The day after, they gave me veggie broth. Vomit. Walk around and move as much you can. They pump your tummy full of CO2 so they can get in there. Walking and moving is the ONLY thing that will make you feel better! Even if you don't feel like it, take a little walk.

I wanted to do the patches, but they're not FDA approved. And Tespo? I've been on this site for a minute, and I haven't heard good things about it. They're both so expensive!

It was hard for me to swallow my actual medications at first. I take two women's Once A Day Gummies. It's almost like a little sweet treat! Haha! Also, make sure that whatever vitamins you get have iron. A lot of multivitamins do not. I also take a tiny pill iron supplement, and a biotin dissolvable that I got from Bariatric Pal.

And sip, sip, sip! I got so sick of people telling me that after surgery, but they were right! Good luck to you!

Different doctors ask different things of you. I've learned that on here. My doctor had me on soft solids after two weeks. I think you should be ok. Just listen to what your body is telling you, and don't overdo it. If you do, you will throw up. I promise.

It comes off fast the first couple of months. You'll stall and feel bad about it, but the weight will come off again. I have lost almost 60 in 6 months. That's since my operation day. I haven't lost my big booty though! Hahaha! I never had much up top, so IDK about that.

I'm really hoping 2 weeks is all I need! I hope you need less than that to get to feeling better!

Agreed.
