I take Efexor and have for a long time. I have been able to swollen it since I was in the hospital. It is a capsule. How are you guys doing Vitamins? I am so sick of them already! I have to take the bariatric chewables. I can't do the swallow pills until 3 months.

Vitamins are going pretty good....I have some Gummi Vitamins and also take B12 that melts under my tounge....and some chewable Calcium.

I have all these in pills to swallow too. Depending on the day and how I feel I either take the pill and swallow it or do a chewable.

I do need to check back with my doctor and make sure that it's okay to do it the way I'm doing. I think all the versions I take are the proper amounts that I'm supposed to be taking

Question...most of you may be too young for this question.

I'm 52 and before surgery for at least the past year I have been suffering from "HOT FLASHES" and night sweats....since surgery I have NOT had one!!!! That's definitely a positive thing that has came out of surgery LOL

Well... I had dumping last night... I had some chicken and half an egg... Throwing up everywhere.... Now I am scared to eat anything!

NSV- I am able to weigh myself on the scale at home rather than a heavy duty doctors scale!

The good balances out the bad I guess...

That's great! @@sarahb309 ...

not about the throwing up, i mean about the scale. I'm too scared to eat stuff too because i don't want to feel dumping syndrome again. I felt it once while i was on liquids. So I'm terrified to try anything that might not be good for me. I haven't been cleared for chicken, so I've pretty much been a vegetarian since 2 days before surgery. Ugh... I'm dying for some tuna.

Sure it was dumping? Maybe it was simply to early to try chicken. Could be.

I'm not working out so far. I don't have much energy and a full work day is still exhausting me pretty much. My abdominal muscles still tell me to take it a bit slower. Noticed that today when working and had to wear the X-ray protection coat. I guess I will be the desk jockey for the rest of the week.

Maybe I will start running again on Monday. Some yoga, but without the abdominal work and the twisting motions.

@@sarahb309 I experience that as well but I think pieces I took may have been too big or I ate too fast...try eating extremely slow I noticed in my transition from liquids to this stage I've had to eat a lot slower

I think I have reached the 3 week stall. I have been the same weight for about 4 days. Has anyone else had a forever long period? I have a IUD and haven't had a period in two years. All of a sudden bam here it is for the past few weeks. Plus the blood thinners I am on make it worse...like clots....sorry if this is TMI.

I had a stall after about 1 weeks 2 days out, and before that I weighed everday. The stall lasted about a little less than 2 weeks. Now I only weigh myself once a week, otherwise I'd go crazy and be super depressed.

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Yes, I take a PPI each morning. This is the first heartburn I've had since surgery. It kind of caught me by surprise!

Do you associate it with something you drank/ate? Might be worth a call to your Dr to see what they say.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
