I have always been able to swallow pills! Please make sure that if you crush pills that you get the okay from your doctor or pharmacist! Some pills are extended release or just not meant to be put into the bloodstream all at once! This can cause an overdose or problems with your liver!

I think you are either going to lose your hair or not. I ate tons of Protein and lost mine. Went on several Vitamins about month 5-8 and it is growing back now. I still take Biotin, Calcium, b complex, and a multi. Everyone's body reacts different with regard to Hair loss.< /p>

I can't swallow anything bigger than a Tylenol and was told not to. No gelcaps or capsules. Btw my doc prescribed me lorcet liquid which post op was wonderful. chewable vitamins are great.

I was told liquid or chewable. If solid it would have to be TINY. Make sure you are getting your Protein in. This should help with hair loss.

I am finding it hard to get Protein in right now because I am on clear fluids only.....any suggestions?

Even on Clear liquids I was allowed Protein shakes. Is this not the case for you??

No, I on only allowed things that I can see my fingers through when holding a glass (is the way they described it). This is for just one more day though and then I can start Protein Shakes with my full Fluid diet. So I can suffer one more day I suppose?

Interesting...I was allowed Protein Shakes for my clear liquids and regular liquids. They made it a point to say, oh yeah and Protein shakes are okay that way you get some protein in.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
