Has anyone tried the Vita-max liquid Multi-Vitamin? I just can not get the pill down even if I cut it in half.

I bought it before my surgery and could not get past the smell. Disgusting !

Sleeved 8/21 down 30lbs. And still never hungry. I hardly eat. What about you guys?

I see a whole lot of people saying they're not hungry- i am ????... And i feel very hungry sometimes- though i'm following all the doctor's orders I feel very hungry throughout the day

I too feel very hungry. I am on the puréed foods. I'm wondering if the amount of hunger depends on the size of our pouches...

I feel like I'm always hungry. But if I try to eat I know can't. Very odd feeling.i drink my Water eat my portions but still feel hungry.

I felt hungry all the time while I was on pureed foods and full liguids.Now that I am on soft food and able to chew I fill up and stay full easily. I honestly thought I did not have my stomach really sleeved, that the doctor had not done enough of a stomach pouch removal. Now I know it is for sure. I get full fast and I stay full longer.

Thank you sooooo much for sharing that!! I was really starting to think the sleeve wasn't going to work, that the doctor hadn't removed enough of the pouch- or that i had stretched it out- very comforting to hear that- i am in the pureed stage right now- hoping to move to soft foods next week

I too was sleeved Aug 12 and including preop have lost 30lbs. Just wondering if you are really weak. Sometimes it's even difficult to hold a blow dryer!

I was sleeved August 22 and yes I feel week now too. I was ok for the first 3 weeks this last week and a half I have been feeling run down. I drink my Protein since I still have trouble eating the Protein. But I think I'm not getting enough Water. Yet I drink all day.

I was sleeved on 8/12/13. I'm happy with the weight loss, but experience nausea most of the day. Any ideas what I can do or what may be happening? I also have diarrhea -- this started when I began the pre-op clear liquid diet and still continues. I'm 5 weeks post op now. Help!

The nausea is a bit concerning. Have you spoken to your surgeon? I was sent home with Zofran and took it the first week, I have no idea if I needed it but I wasn't about to find out. Besides a bad Vitamin incident I've never been nauseous.

I am nauseous every time after I eat. I put a very small portion in a very small bowl and eat slowly but still feel nauseous and have to lay down.

Oh and I feel hungry as well. To those that posted earlier.
