I was sleeved 3/6/13 and I'm still unable to eat without feeling nauseous. I know I'm A bad sleever because I don't drink my shakes or much water and I'm barely eating...I do always take my gummy multivitamin and that about it though and I know a have a few other vitamins I should be taking that I don't...my legs are numb and I'm wondering if that's because of my poor eating habits and not taking my other vitamins...anybody else

Anybody else as bad as me? I'm scaring myself cuz I know my health is going to start to get gravely affected...advice please...on the up side the weight is falling off...down 54lbs

Please talk to your doctor and have them run tests for your vitamin levels. Vitamin B deficiencies can lead to permanent nerve damage and that could be what is going on with your legs. I have mostly lost the desire to eat too but we have to take care of ourselves.

You are dead on with this one. You pretty much have to watch your vitamin levels and take them for the rest of your life. I know a RNY patient that decided to stop take Vitamins and really messed himself up.

Anytime anything serious is going on call the doctor. That's what we pay them for.

The first priority is always Protein and water. As far as the vitamins go, what do you take? Check with your doctor on specifics, but you shouldn't be taking any old gummy Vitamin. You need vitamins formulated specifically for WLS. There are several different brands and options to pick, just make sure they meet your doctor's specs. Calcium citrate is also a requirement for your bones.

You have take drink fluids!! do you have protein drinks? I had trouble with food and was very nauseated, dehydrated from feeling so weak I did not drink. When I would eat solid food it hurt bad. Then I started waking up with acid the worst I have ever known and had always had it before. Called Dr. and they put me on new med. The solid food still was a problem nausea and pain. Called and they wanted to send me for a scope. I have a long history with my gastro Dr. and called and wanted a consultation first. I had started taking my Librax which is a smooth muscle relaxer for IBS and it was helping. My Dr. told me I had made the right choice. I had Surgery April 10, 2013 and I am just now starting to eat a little solid food. Fighting with my old self of eating too fast and too much seems to be the problem now. Food will not stay down when you do not take care of your new self. I hope you call your Dr. and get some help. Good Luck!!

Go to the doctor, honey. Also, you've got to keep up with your water and protein or you will do yourself real damage. Some vitamins need fats to be absorbed so any of those aren't getting taken in, no matter how many you take. There are lots of old posts in here about how to get the water down. You aren't the only one who has trouble getting it in. Also, you should try some different shakes so you get one you like. It will help so much getting them down. Vitalady.com has single serving packets of dozens of types so you can try different flavors and brands. Good luck
