I am 17 days post op, down 19lbs, and today is the first day I have hit my protein goals (56-61gm a day)! It is also the first day I have gotten through all of my vitamins!! I was having severe nausea and vomiting with my multivitamin. I am so happy I had this procedure, and even happier that I was able to finally hit my protein and vitamin goals today! It will only help with weightless and staying healthy as I go through this dramatic weight loss! Lets hope I can keep it up!

You are doing fantastic! Keep up the great work!

Woo hoo!! You go girl!

What brand vitamins are you using? I am 4 days post op and also find it difficult to get down my huge chewable. I have been using Opurity vitamins. They are optimized for bypass and sleeve. I used to crunch them with no problem pre op but now I take tiny bits at a time, chew that little bite to dust and dissolve it with a tiny sip of water before swallowing. It's a process but worth the extra time to avoid any trace of nausea. And congrats on your progress!!!! I'm still waiting to lose all the fluids from the IVs.

I am using Bariatric Advantage. I have struggled with the multi vitamin, not being able to keep it down until just a couple days ago. I started out taking all the vitamins in the morning, but I have discovered that I have to spread them out throughout the entire day. To keep my multivitamin down, I break it into quarters or thirds... Then spread that throughout the day. This seems to have worked well! Good luck!

i just got a Multi that i can tolerate!! GNC Womens Ultra Mega now comes in a soft chew. Tried one in the store and it went down well. SOLD!

Great job!!
