Oh so that's what restriction is! O_O So for the first 2 weeks I didn't have a problem with anything. Could take my Vitamins, drink Water, Protein Shakes (the ones that didn't taste nasty to me), soft foods, etc. Nothing made me sick or feel bad. Until now. :(. First a little egg got stuck and I had to throw up. Then, taking this Calcium pill that's the size of my head had me bent over the trash can in my kitchen. I'm going to get chewable calcium first thing in the morning!

Mine as well. I stick to chewables. I take a chewable Multivitamin (Walmart brand), Caltrate Plus chewable, CVS brand chewable C and B12, a liquid D3, and a Vitamelt that has Biotin and C for my hair and nails. I take everything twice a day, 12 hours apart.

I have a question. Do any of you sleep on your side? If you do, when you wake up do you get pains in your side? Just curious because I can't seem to sleep on my side with out that pain.

I sleep on my side. It's the only way I can sleep. I don't always have the side pain but some days (like yesterday) it was in pain all day long. On days like that I just place a pillow under my left/or right side and I'm able to sleep with no problem.

I can, but I have a huge body pillow that I hug. It took almost two full weeks for me to get back on my side. Without the pillow several incisions pull and hurt.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
