I learned my lesson yesterday. . I will not do that anymore until my doctor approves of it.. I have a ? For you when you got out of surgery when did you start taking you Vitamins

My Multivitamin is a capsule, the kind you can open up. So they wanted me to try to dump the contents into my drinkable yogurt a few days out and mix it in, but that was SO GROSS. I just couldn't do it. I was allowed to actually start swallowing the whole capsule at 7 days out, so that was when I was able to actually start taking all three of the Vitamins I was supposed to every day (one with each meal). I had to wait a little longer than that before I could start taking my Calcium, because those are really big horsepills and I was worried I wouldn't be able to handle them, so I started those maybe two weeks out. I'm also on a sublingual B12, which I was obviously able to start taking right away, since it dissolves under the tongue. As for all of my other supplements that I had been taking pre-op, I was allowed to restart them 7 days out, but I just gradually reintroduced them one at a time and I would spread them out throughout the day, instead of trying to take them all at once (I was on garlic, coq10, Vitamin C, and Omega 3). Oh, and my nutritionist also wanted me to start a probiotic, so I started that 7 days out.

I am also on a prescription for birth control and I took that all the way through after discussing it with my surgeon. I didn't miss a single day of it, although on the day of my surgery, I had to wait until after surgery to take it, whereas I usually always take it in the morning.

I'm still on my puréed foods, but there are sometimes it just seems to feel sore, lots of gas I think, but it takes forever to eat small quantities unless it's something very smooth like baby food. Tea and liquids I don't have much problem with either.

Tonight I think I ate one bite too many and had a puke attack or dumping and I just don't know where that sweet spot is yet and many people say that it's too soon to tell since I'm still having nerves come back in my tummy

Honestly I think it was dumping! I got sweaty and nauseous and felt miserable

      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.

      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! 😞
