Thanks everyone!! Doing good today! Monday was rough. I was sore and slept (in and out) all day. I couldn't eat much and was nauseous and dry heaving once. Doc decided to keep me an extra night, and I was grateful. Liquids went down easier yesterday and even more so today. I should be heading home today. Pain is much improved, except when I cough! Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed!

That's awesome on your weight loss so far. There are so many of us on here that can and will help with the accountability, but you have to do your part and reach out.

I had the same issue and still do, but I found a multi with iron and recommended dose of calcium and all I have to take is an extra calcium a day and one extra b12 a week. Bari Life has a multi that you can put in water like crystal lite and it is milky and looks nasty, but the lemon tastes like lemonade and the watermelon tastes like watermelon. I went on their website and asked for a free sample. My Dr office had another brand and mentioned this one but didn't have samples of the Bari Life. The other brand I tried tasted exactly how multi's smell with a hint of fruit. But I LOVE the Bari Life.

Hope your surgery was a success! 🤗

Bryce86, the ORMC Bariatric program is so organized I needed nothing but my hairbrush. And unless you like lemonade Crystal light, you may want to take your own. I didn’t get to my room until 6pm and at midnight I could start drinking clears so I didn’t even need the biotene. Between trying to sleep, walking the halls and using the incentive spirometer there isn’t much time to do anything else. I only stayed one night. Went home at 4pm my first day post-op and so far have had a perfect recovery. Haven’t used any of the pain or nausea meds they prescribed...15 days now. Best wishes to you on your journey too.

Kids are super resilient, they will be bugging you for years to come. They can take a short break now...

Yes! Keep us posted about your surgery date. Loving all the suggestions from everyone. I'm in Winchester. Where are you? Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App I am in Manassas. I will update once I've got more information from my doctors - but I think they don't even discuss dates until all the tests are done.
