13 hours to go before I check in to the hospital and my nerves are killing me. I have to check in at 5:30am with a surgery time of 10:15. The closer the date has come the less sleep I've had. I struggled with the 2 week pre-op liquid diet, I guess you can say I had the "last supper syndrome." I will have to have a hiatal hernia repaired while in surgery. Since I had a difficult time during pre-op I hope I won't fail the band. Looking forward to a new and healthier me. Does anyone have any suggestions on a chewable Multivitamin that doesn't taste awful? I've already tried the vitaband mixed berry one and I don't think I can stick with that one daily without gagging. Would love to hear other shared stories.

I take the Flintstones complete (My surgeon requires Vitamins with Iron for women who are still menstruating). For the first month I took 2 a day now I am down to one a day and I feel fine.

Good luck today, hope it all goes well.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
