I'm 3 weeks post op and having difficulty taking my Vitamins. I usually like my vitamins with food. However after any meal I'm just too full to take anything else. I haven't taken any vitamins other than B12. Just not looking forward to my chalky Calcium lol. I also have liquid Omega but also not looking forward to that. I'm afraid to vomit. I am only taking one Protein Drink a day. I wanna be healthy and for that I know I must take them but I'm just too afraid to vomit.

Have you tried to take the Vitamins before you eat, therefore you would have taken them before you get food. Maybe eat a little less when taking the vitamins. I'll be 3 weeks out on Wednesday :) I only drink 1 ptorein shake a day too, but eat Protein in my food.

I could not take my Vitamins until 6 weeks, then I had to move to Centrum Chewable's, because I would throw up the vitamins I got from the DR. also, the calcium chews, I get them from Dr's office, they taste like tootsie rolls, lemon drops or caramel chews......LOVE Them..... I think you are pushing the vitamins too soon.......check with your DR

All of mine are chewable. I'm post op day 9 started them on day 7 and so far so good. I do split up the calcium citrate into 2 times a day though. They are a little much even though they are chewable. I bought the petite Calcium citrates opened them up and saw there was nothing petite about them! I'd have to take 4 a day!! No way! So now I add the little extra sugar and do the gummys! Hope this helps!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
