I was just wondering what everyone was doing about Vitamins post op, I’ve bought some bassets chewable but think there are probably better options out there??
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I am having my sleeve on the 29th. My doctor told me to start taking the Vitamins now. They are D, B1,B3,B6,B12, and a Multi Vit. I use the gummie ones.

I'm also scheduled for the 29th. I am surprised that I am not worried about the surgery. Looking forward to it. What I am worried about is the recovery. Going through the different stages of re-introducing foods to my diet.

October 1 here, I'm kind of freaking out. Oddly enough, surgery isn't what's freaking me out, it's life after surgery that's freaking me out.

October 2nd here! Not freaking out about the life after surgery, just freaking our about surgery itself! Lol always something

Help!! I’m on day 4 of liquids and I cannot drink anymore! I feel terrible, like I’m going to pass out but I just can’t make myself drink the shake. What do I do??

[aapb79Gmail.com 69]

Have you tried different shakes? Can you have anything else like yogurt or something else with higher Protein?

[aapb79Gmail.com 69]

Day 9 of liquids. I am down 11 lbs. this is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I never realized how obsessed with food I actually am. I have 3 more days of this and surgery Monday. Praying for easier time after surgery with a smaller stomach! Thanks for letting me come here and vent often

[JennieJuniper 110]

The shakes themselves taste ok.. I’m doing the Syntrax Nectar ones and there’s tons of flavors. I just don’t want to drink!!

@JennieJuniper I'm only on day 2, but I will say the high-protein cream of broccoli Soup mix I had yesterday really saved the day for me. I'm going to do that every day. It was not sweet, and I could eat it with a spoon--delightful! (Though I'm going to have to strain it, because the brand I bought has tiny pieces of broccoli in it, alas.)

@crankymagpie
I’m not allowed Soup :( just broth
