Oh someone mentioned B12... The surgeons post op instructions said he was to take a children's multi Vitamin with Iron and 1 aspirin. I read or heard that we were going to need more Vitamins than that. What vitamins are you taking and how soon after surgery did you start them?

Thank you all very much. I'm nervous and scared and seeing him like this isn't helping to get me excited about the procedure tomorrow. I'm relieved to hear its somewhat normal. He's been doing pretty well for the past 3 days. Today exhaustion hit him pretty hard and he thinks its due to not using the CPAP. Ill talk to the surgeon tomorrow when I go in for surgery and hopefully find relief in his answers.

Thanks for your response. My surgery is tomorrow and I was hoping he would be strong enough to take care of me while I recover but it's unlikely with the way he's been feeling. He was on the no/low carb diet for 2 weeks pre op.

Hi all, my hubs is 6 days post op and he's struggling with exhaustion. Dr said to not wear his apnea machine to sleep because it would blow his stomach out but he's obviously not recharging without it. He's definitely getting his Protein in. Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal to be so tired? Thanks, Suzy

I'm also in the metro Altanta area going through the documentation process with hubs to do the surgery with Dr Macik

Sass, you look really great! You don't need the lipo. Instead of saving pennies for another surgery, invest in a personal trainer 2 times a week who can help you tone. Here are before and after pictures of successful toning with a trainer. Hope they motivate you the way they motivated me. http://www.gastricsleeve.com/forum/blogs/ammcnutt/10567-before-and-after-pics10-months-and-1-weeks-out-112-lbs-lost.html
