Thank you all for these suggestions... Its been ridiculous taking all of these pills... I have a follow up in 2 weeks and will discuss it with them... THANK YOU!!! And for the people who mentioned what multivitamin im taking is flintstones knockoff that the hospital gave me .

Any update on this since last years last post ? I was looking to get this to add to some of my pureed foods to get my protein in. I suck at getting my liquid proteins in. Id like to add this to my scrambled eggs and some others .

Thank you all ! I called and spoke to nurse. She said I should be doing no more than 400- 600 calories but what I told her I ate she didn't seem too concerned. I can't imagine eating less at this point unless I dropped back down to liquids only. Its INSANE how even the good food im eating is adding up calories so fast!

I dont eat more than 4 oz other than my yogurt I finish the container. its 5.6 oz.... my calories before this... I couldn't say... That's how I got to this in the first place.... Not caring about my calories before weight-loss journey....

I’m 3 weeks (almost 4) post op and feel like I’m actually eating too much…. I can almost eat 2 eggs in the morning Throughout the day I am eating about 600-800 calories ….. EXAMPLE: Yesterdays eating... Breakfast: 1 1/2 eggs scrambled with a VERY small drop of sugar free ketchup to keep moist Snack : Atkins coffee protein shake. Lunch : 4 oz of cream of cheddar/broccoli Snack : Oikos PRO Dinner : Tuna with light mayo pureed, and a fat free sugar free string cheese Snack: Oikos PRO Is this too much? I went from barely getting protein shakes down to this....

Im 36.. 3 weeks post op gastric sleeve

This is actually from a printed sheet I my hospitals weightloss surgery book.. Not due to any of my personal health.. This is the recommended vitamins for all in my program... I thought it sounded crazy!!

I take daily 6 Calcitrate with Vitamin D3 2 Multivitamins 1 B12 2 D3 1 B1 and a droplet of Ferrous Sulfate

Theses are ALL supplements.. No medication... Its insane!

I know pills are essential after surgery.. But I am taking 13 a day... Is that normal? Is everyone doing this? Is there something different and less pills ?

All day for the Past 2 Fays my legs have felt like they are bruised and hurt to the touch. Anyone know what this could be and why ?

All great responses …. I truly appreciate the responses from you all!! Thank you

Thank you both for the tips. The feeling kind of feels mental not physical… I’m hoping it will pass. As far as liquids I am surely not getting enough in. I know this. I just don’t have the urge to drink …

I’m 9 days post op. I feel really weird. Odd. I wish I can explain it . I just feel almost like I’m in a different world. I don’t feel comfortable….. Since not eating food for about 3 weeks I feel like I miss it more than ever. I have never cared about food like that. I just ate the wrong stuff in large quantities. But now I feel I’ll never enjoy eating again. I’m barely getting liquids in for the day as well. I’m just not feeling right….

Had my pre OP endoscopy.. Never had one before and never been put out.... Day and a half later I have been dealing with MASSIVE jaw pain... and serious bloating in my upper abs.... Is this normal? Anyone else have this issue??

im sorry to hear about your father.... I have been focused on the sleeve for months. I just need a significant weight-loss.. That is the only reason I have been thinking of changing to bypass.

Thanks for the quick responses... 1. I dont know why im nervous about the bypass I think im just nervous in general and psyching myself out... 2. I dont have GERD of any acid reflux 3. My doctor was okay with either choice... He stated that for a bigger weight loss they used to always recommend bypass but sleeves are getting similar results....

Im having a really hard time with this... I have had my mind set on going with the gastric sleeve for months. Now the past month right before surgery Im thinking more going bypass as Im seeing bigger weight loss.... I need to loose 200-230 lbs. I know they are both tools and will give me what I put into it but I dont want to get a life changing surgery if I am only going to loose some of what I need to. On top of that im really scared of the bypass for some reason....

Didn’t know there was a plus version. That’s awesome I like the atkins flavor but thought it was too little protein. Thanks for the heads up I’ll check it out .

Atkins is good but only 15g protein… premier has 30g ..
