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 !

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 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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
