I felt this in the beginning too. I take krill oil because I have PCOS and it helps my skin/hair/nails. The first night I tried taking it, it got stuck, and I ended up puking up the krill oil and the mostly dissolved capsule. It was TERRIBLE. But I promise you it does get better. :) Just be patient and take it slowly. Feel free to message me anytime if I can help you with anything.

My Surgeon told me to find all my required vitamins/supplements in either chewable or liquid form for at least three months after surgery.

I wasn't able to find them all in either form and the ones I could find were SUPER expensive and not convenient.

What specific ones are getting stuck? Maybe some of use could offer some recommendations.

@@Cervidae thank you!!!!!

I am scared to even drink Water, I have had one bottle water since yesterday! I don't want to seem like I am complaining, cause I do want a new life just scared I guess! Seeing everyone eat around me is hard too! Not that I am hungry. Feel to yucky for that but just the thought!!!

Water should not get stuck, if it does there is a problem. If you don't start drinking immediately you are going to get very very sick and end up in the ER.

Please don't be so afraid, it will get better. You should not swallow anything bigger than a pencil eraser. If your pills are bigger than that, dissolve them in liquid and drink them. I had to do that for the first couple weeks.

If for some reason Water is getting stuck and you are vomiting it back up call your surgeon immediately. You cannot let yourself get dehydrated. That can actually be more dangerous than you realize.

It tastes nasty but you will get your meds without chocking,

      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! 😞
