Gummy or Chewable
aprilmmason replied to naturallyjai's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take one centrum complete chewable daily. My nutritionist also suggested biotin and calcium supplements. 1000 mg (500 mg 2x day) of chewable calcium and one biotin caplet daily. -

5 days post op and NOT hungry

Thank you! I'm forcing everything down. I mean i don't get to a point of regurgitation, i stop and rest after each bite/sip but I just don't feel hungry. And the burps feel so funny lol. I feel them from my toes! -
Hi! Congrats!! I'm 3 days post op and feel pretty good. I'm just a little sore in my left rib cage (the back ribs, not front) but very tired. Taking a shower and getting dressed takes a lot of energy. I'm also focusing on getting liquids down and resting.

Post op day 9 for me
aprilmmason replied to lifewillbegood's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! I'm 3 days post op and feel pretty good for the most part. I don't know if that's because I didn't need a hernia repair or not. I'm definitely taking it slow. Drinking protein shakes, Gatorade and water. Keeping it down but I do get the gas pains every once in a while. I am so glad that I made the decision for a LB. -
Hi! I'm brand new here. I am one day post op (12/18/12) and I feel terrific. Have gas pain once in a while radiating mostly to my left shoulder but when I get up and walk around it subsides. I've been taking the pain meds but I'm hoping not to need them much longer. The left side is very tender but not unbearable. I feel like this was the best decision I've ever made for myself.

One day post op

Congrats to you as well! When I signed consent it included hernia repair too but luckily I didn't need one. The decision for a band took a while for me. My PCP mentioned it to me a year ago. I'm do glad I made the decision to do it and I'm so glad it's over. -
One day post op
aprilmmason replied to aprilmmason's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oops hit enter too fast lol... I decided that I'm worthy of being healthy. I've been overweight since I was 16. It's time to take care of myself 20 years later... I'm a nursing student and I don't want to end up like so many patients that I see. Much of their problem (s) can be alleviated by losing weight. -
