I feel like all I do is take pills, Vitamins, Calcium I have to stagger them all day :( I'm breaking them in half instead of crushing because it tastes gross ! Hopefully when I lose weight I can come off some of them.

Are you just talking about Vitamins and supplements? I was told I would need to take them the rest of my life.

I too have pills that I have to take - 2 types of anti depressants and a thyroid pill - also 2 Prilosec, just so I can eat - from what i've been reading - acid reflux will not be getting better after this surgery. Of course no one would want me to quit the antidepressants - that would be ugly. I have a chewable multi - Vitamin that isn't the greatest + the Calcium and B-12 I need to schedule in my day - then of course the liquid and Protein - oh well, we will all just have to figure it out

ok here is what I am taking on the non prescription supplement side: a Multi-Vitamin specifically for bariatrics (chewable, twice a day), B12 sublingual (every other day), and I am supposed to be taking Calcium every day but ran out of the samples my NUT gave me and can't find them in the drug store (I need to go to GNC tomorrow)...I am curious to compare that with what others are taking...also, I am curious about what type of calcium you are taking...my NUT told me to take calcium citrate (which is not the same as "regular" calcium supplements, which are called calcium carbonate I think)...she gave me some that are like square chewies that remind me of those Kraft caramels...I think she said for me to take 3 throughout the day...and then she said that I could take them with the multi Vitamin because the Multivitamin she has me taking doesn't have Iron in it (the brand is Celebrate)...does all of this sound right to y'all? Is it similar to what your NUT or surgeon has recommended for you?

      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! 😞
