Does anyone know when the Vitamins will "kick in" and start making me feel a little better or energized? My patch just came in today.

When was your surgery? It takes a few weeks for your body to recover -- just like it does from any surgery. I think it was at least 4 weeks for me -- and I recovered very quickly. It takes much longer for some people

April 18! But I just got my Vitamins in, and was supposed to start taking them on day 11 post op.

I took my Vitamins religiously and I felt like utter crap for the first... 6 months or so. Now I'm almost 9 months out and I feel great. This is a huge, major abdominal surgery you've just been through. Your body is going to take its sweet time healing and perking back up. It takes about a year to fully heal inside, anyway. Hope you feel better soon! Take care.

      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! 😞
