I just moved up to mushy food.....I am eating only around 1/4 cup of food for each meal. Still supplementing protein with shakes. I have been walking everyday for 20-30 min. Still getting very tired and need naps occasionally. I have noticed the scale going up 1-2 lbs. I am freaking....what's going on??

Oh my God.... I have been feeling so sick from the chewable Bariatric advantage vitamins! I found a powdered multivitamin at GNC and I mix it with the protein shake, BUT... the protein shakes are making me sick too!!

about 10 days!

Crystal Light or flavored water goes down much easier than plain water.

The fullness hits me abut 5-10 minutes later and then I'm feeling really bad! I wish I know exactly how much I can fit without getting that sick feeling.

cymbalta: small capsules...I am 2 weeks post and I also took 2 tylenol caplets at once. No prob.

I am on Cybalta capsules. I resumed taking them the day I got home. I had no prob swallowing .

I am 8 days post. I am trying to do my normal activities, but the fatigue hits me unexpectedly. Your body needs rest to recover appropriately. Don't push yourself!

I had pain in my left lower side today. I have been walking for 20 min per day. It really helps! Pain is gone.

Im 8 days post op....this is really hard. I had the lap-band several years ago (it slipped 1 yr ago had to have emergency surgery to get it removed) and it was not this difficult at all. I remember the progression from that surgery and I feel I am ready to progress to food with a little substance, but Im afraid! I won't be able to chew until week 5. Week 3 I get mushy food. I feel that my body needs nutrients. The protein shakes just slide on through. I can't wait to eat something with substance like oatmeal! Very Hard!!

After Surgery I was walking bending forward slightly which apparently stretched my hamstrings and calves. My legs hurt and my back and neck were sore from lying in bed. I was afraid of a clot but the pain was bilaterally in my legs.

If you belong to a credit union, get a signature loan with low interest. It can be paid off in 3 or 4 years. Show hubby some before and after pics of others, it may motivate him as well.
