I am almost 11 months out and used chewables up until recently. May sure they are not gummies, as those supposedly are not absorbed now.

chewables for sure! I'm a year and a half out and still prefer chewables! It takes the edge off in the morning when I am starting to feel hungry. Takes the hunger away! lol

Go to the drug store and buy a pill crusher and a pill splitter. You inability to swallow should only last a couple months after surgery and then you should be back to normal.

I was having trouble with B-Complex for awhile (i.e., nausea), but they discovered I had a stricture and I haven't had any problems since they "fixed" the stricture - so obviously it was related to that. Some people do have problems with the "B"s in particular, though. I always take that one with food just in case.

      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! 😞
