I know its a few months away but I thought I would start a thread for Nov 2020! My date is 11/9! Looking forward to starting my new journey, hoping Covid doesn't screw stuff up!

Are you on your way to Blossom today?

Are you sure it was Ritalin and not Reglan? Reglan would make more sense since it is for reflux/stomach acid. It’s important to know so you can list it as a drug allergy.

It’s very likely reglan. Anxiety and panic attacks ARE a possible side effect of IV reglan. There is no IV Ritalin—that is a drug for ADHD.

Hope it happens for you soon! Took me 6 days, I think, and now I have the opposite problem... Everything is SUPER loose. Ugh...

Just ate my first scrambled egg and took my first multivitamin. Let's see how this goes... Wish me luck.

My plan says 1-2T of egg with 1-2T of something else (I chose the applesauce option). I got the whole egg in, and maybe 1 baby spoon of the applesauce. It's sitting well so far... I'm more worried about the multivitamin.

This shows the brand and size of the capsule, and the back side shows the amounts.

Did you get to choose your mulitvitamin or did the docs prescribe/provide it? At my post op appointment tomorrow they said they are giving me a bunch of vitamins. I've added the nutrition handbook that I was given here as it lists them out

I'll check that out shortly... but I was given guidelines, and suggestions. They suggested opurity vitamins, but with the guidelines, I searched a bunch of different types on Amazon, and this is the one I chose ?

I just worry that they are going to try and charge me an arm and a leg...

Well, you mentioned they said they were giving you vitamins at the appt... does that mean like... GIVING them to you? Or just saying you need to take them from that appt on?

My plan just said I had to have certain amounts of key vitamins in whichever I chose, and listed a couple possibilities. Ultimately, it was up to me, which is why I spent literally an entire day, pre op, looking at vitamins on Amazon. The Opurity option (from Unjury) was relatively inexpensive and touched all the points, but I have an Amazon CC, so it came down to that, to be honest.

Welcome all November babies, including myself! My surgery was 11/5/20. It's not a full sleeve* due to other health reasons, but for all intents and purposes my recovery is the same.

How is everyone doing? I'm finding that my energy is flagging.....so I'm going to work on drinking drinking drinking.

*Edited to add: Not a full sleeve because I've had multiple GI surgeries and have too much scar tissue to do the sx in a traditional manner. When I re-read my original sentence, it sounded like "oh I've only got a half sleeve" or something similar. Nope, this was a pretty hefty surgery with multiple organs involved, and my "sleeve" is a bit non-traditional. Thank goodness for doctors who will work cooperatively.

If it's like pre-op, they had the meds I'd need after surgery ready in the office and I paid for them and took them home. I assume it's the same. They'll be *handing them to me after I pay - they are pretty hands on.
