How far out are you? I'm two weeks and 3 days and at my post op thursday they told me to start the chewable but the liquid does taste a little better.

I'd call my doc or nut then, Vitamins are so important. I have a good friend that had bypass, a couple years into it she stopped taking her vitamins and ended up needing a transfusion. Dr told her that vitamins are for life in people that choose bariatric surgery. God luck.

I found out today that my potassium is very low which explains alot.....feeling tired, muscle weakness, and confused!?!?! Omgosh! They called in a script. 4 pills a day...yuck!!!! Blood draw again in 10 days. Let ya know how that one goes. Who knew potassium could be so imperative? Just dont ever think about it.

I have been on potassium for 6 years. Was taking 8 pills a day, then down to 2 a day. They stopped them after surgery which has me concerned I will ask Wednesday if I need them any more. Make sure you take them because low potassium is nothing to mess with.

Hi everyone, I havent been able to post for awhile due to computer issues...Im 3 weeks post op ive lost 25 pounds so far and feel great! I could not of ask for things to go more smoothly than they did after my surgery was up and walking within 4 hours of surgery. I had no pain meds at all after they took the pain pump on the 2nd day and I havent had any issues with keeping foods and liquids down. My Dr. told my son he couldnt of been more pleased with the surgery. I have follow up visit with him on the 29th. Im still not back at work yet my insurance company approved me for 30 days so I took the full time however I would of been fine going back after 2 or even sooner so now Im just enjoying my time off and getting in as much walking as I can......Glad to see how well everyone is doing, Ive got 6 more pounds to lose for the Halloween Challenge.....Good Luck to everyone in the Challenge!

My first night and no pain medication all night!!!! I'm sooo happy! I even woke up feeling good. My mouth is dry because I sleep on my back right now. It still feels weird to sleep on my side. Anyone have a solution? I miss my right side. I can do an angle, but not the full on right. :-).
