I'm just making it home from the hospital. Everything has been ok so far. Oh except for that sneeze I thought was going to kill me. I'm trying to get my Fluid in. I've already have 32 oz today. I'm going to try to drink this Protein Water so I can get a 2 for 1

Congratulations Chrissy! Way to go on the fluids! Glad you're feeling well.

Home today. Surgery was yesterday. I’m wondering when everyone starts their vitamins? My doc said within the first two weeks but I’d like a more specific time frame than that.

My plan resumes vitamins on Day 15, when puree' phase starts.

My doctor told me I can start taking my vitamins after my post op visit in one week. Right now he only wants me to take omeprazole and promethazine for heartburn and nausea

I was told to start before surgery but I didn't start until right after. I just want to get the routine of them its a lot plus whatever previous meds I was already taking.

Thanks everyone!

My doc said to start taking vitamins the next day I got home from surgery. So I had surgery on Tuesday, Oct 23rd and got home late Friday. I started taking vitamins on Sunday, the 28th. I am taking Calcium + D3, B-12, B-Complex, Multivitamins, Biotin, and L-Lysine.

Me too. I was sleeved and had my gall bladder removed at the same time.

Surgery date 10/8 , down 16lbs. I hit the dreaded 3 week stall this week but the scale finally moved today. I have a total food aversion to chicken. I'm cleared to eat it but I feel horrible after doing so... nauseous, gassy and in pain. Even when its soaked in gravy.

I was trick or treating last night with my kids and drinking water while walking. Strangely enough, water went down super easy while walking. I'm sure it was because I was mobile, but I might try to take a bottle of water on a walk now and kill 2 bbn birds with 1 stone.

Just had my sleeve done.

Does anyone else get your vitamins and B12 from Nutrition Direct? My insurance covers them all every 28 days so I don't pay nothing out of pocket

I use flinstones complete kids chewable and Caltrate chewable
