New 1 A Day Bariatric Vitamin!
CHERCOONS replied to Baker_gurl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you know if these taste better than the Opurity Chewables? They tend to make me gag...most days I don't get or keep them down. Also, do you have any ideas for better tasting high-Protein? Have tried Isopure ZeroCarb flavorless and most flavors...haven't tasted any that really taste GOOD! Deperately need protein...due to stricture and subsequent surgeries have not been able to eat anything for 5 mo...losing hope of ever getting hair or strength bak Thanks, Cheryl -
My doctor has recommended I have a stent input to fix a stricture. If you have had this done please share your experience with me. Thank you.

Yes, I have tried thicker liquids and even adding protein to diluted juice. Still cannot get down consistently...can sometimes get children's popscicle down if I take it very slow. I have lost 35 pounds but I am sure it is just water. -

My doctor was Dr. Almanza...who I really liked. He was great and was very concerned post-op with the initial problems I had. He had to do a post-op scope and afterward photos showed liquid was going thru. -

Thank you both. I have waited because the doctor's office had been telling me for the first 60 days that I just was very tight and that I would get better after all the swelling went away. Now they are no longer returning calls.
