I started taking tablets as soon as I was released to full foods.

I tested Frankensleeve by taking a half tablet the first time.

When he had no reaction, I started taking a whole tablet.

The hardest part was being able to swallow enough Water to wash it down.

At 1 month, I still wasn't able to take in much more than a tablespoon of Water per swallow.

For some people there is a bit of difficulty swallowing multi's. However for the doctor it's a question of whether or not your new tummy can breakdown the Vitamin fast enough for your body to absorb the nutrients. I was allowed to swallow pills at 6 weeks. Check with your program to see what they say. Since you are experiencing nausea they may okay you to swallow them instead.

      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! 😞
