Recommended Posts

I split my time between Phoenix and Prescott. Where are you?

To Cwang re Bariatirc Vitamins: I also take the Bariatrice Advantage chewable vitamins and they make me nauseous also. I try taking one in the morning and one at night and just suck on them till the dissolve and hasn't been as bad. Good luck.


I only took one this morning and it came back up. Where in Az are u? I'm in Az too.

I use Bariatric Fusion chewables. They are the consistency of a caramel, but without sticking to your teeth. I got the mixed berry flavor. Yum

SJ, a level 10 pain at almost 6 weeks out is not "normal". Pain, sure. A level 10 in no way should be happening. At the least, knowing you ripped your scar tissue, they should give you decent pain reliever to take when you're not going to be driving.

So sorry to hear of your pain. Don't know if this would help at all but have you tried to sleep with a pillow under your tummy when you are on your side. I did that for the first 2 1/2 weeks after surgery. Took my back to pregnancy days.

Yeah, I have a pillow on each side of me in bed. Lol. I got a call back. They're gonna call me in some patch thing. We'll see if It helps. But apparently they can be expensive and bot covered If i don't have shingles (which I dont) so yeah.

Hi Jane nice to see you again, How are you doing? I'm losing very slowly only down 20 lbs since surgery on 2-14 I'm frustrated.

Oh man SJ. I hope they can figure that out. Pain that severe is rough and makes you tired even if you're getting sleep! Good luck friend.

I know! I asked my pcp for a muscle relaxer. Cause it feels like a sheet of tight ass muscles in the area of the incision. Her reply was heat. Been doing that since I ripped the shit apart a week out! But they are adamant it's normal. They caked in some patch thing... We'll see. I'd just like to sleep and bend over, or drive with some ease.

Thanks! I'm hoping these psych things will help. It's a numbing pain patch. But I have to cut them, and figure out exactly where to put it.

I just want a fukking pill I can take that will give me some peace already. The liquid lortab does nothing. Hahahhaa.

I'll just call whine one one. Bahahahhaha

Are the chalky or Gummy? Would love to find a gummy.

My NUT and surgeon say gummies aren't good post sleeve. The NUT said they have too much sugar and my surgeon just doesn't like them. Let me know if you fine an alternative to Bariatric Advantage, besides bariatric fusion. NUT says they're low quality and have poor absorption rates. But right now I'm only getting Vitamins from my shakes.

I know BA has a gummy multi now but that made me sick before the chewables did.

I had surgery on 2/10. I am loosing so slowly. I am discouraged. I lost 21 lbs before surgery and 27 since my sleeve. I have been so lucky that I have never had pain, gas or nausea. The only thing is that I am still so tired. I take a nap almost every day! My husband is the only one that has even mentioned that he can tell I'm loosing weight. I have been able to get into a couple of pairs of jeans that I couldn't before but I guess I am just impatient! I want to be able to go into Old Navy too!!!

Bariatric fusion has a chewy one. I can't have gummies until I'm 3 months out.

Omg! No! I'm so sorry. Did your surgeon's office have any other options for you? That amount of pain is ridiculous this far out.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
