I still use chewables at 5 months out. Swallowing large pills feel like a golf ball going through my sleeve.

I still haven't been cleared for regular pills and take the chewable vitamins. However, when I am finished with them I am actually switching to the Patches because the chewable makes me really sick even when chewed thoroughly. I find Vitamins to be my biggest struggle now.

I have switched to the Patches that they have and the BariatricPal Store and I really like them! I have no sickness at all and my blood tests all look good! I would highly recommend.

Is it one patch or multiple?

I HATE chewable vitamins and, even though I have no problem swallowing pills, am not a fan of swallowing so many throughout the day.

It's just one patch that I use. It meets the requirements that my surgeon had.

I found the Multivitamin ONE of the worst parts of the recovery. I can gag just thinking about pulling the capsule apart. Then how it hurt. And I always took mine with something in my stomach and with a shake. Honestly, I took it about 2x a week.
I'm 5 weeks now, and can take the capsule, so it gets better.
I found the chewable just as bad as the regular ones! [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
