You just had major surgery! This is time for you to heal, I think it is natures way of protecting you.

Please be careful, I think the consistency of bananas us too thick for your new pouch. If you are allowed soft food, stick with yogurt, sf pudding etc. if your pouch tears, it is a really painful process to repair.

It's perfectly normal, vitamins or not. It will stop in a month or two.

If you want my opinion you should follow your plan, if you do you are guaranteed success. You don't want to jeopardize that, or your health.

Do you need help at home post-op?
aelovelady replied to 395Ron's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't need any help either. My doctor does not prescribe pain meds either, so I wasn't "out-of-it". I was able to sleep in my own bed, walk on the treadmill and get drinks and food from the kitchen. Good luck and check in with us so we can share your success!! -
No longer living on 300lb Blvd.
aelovelady replied to Focused1103's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ambalwayscare so encouraged by reading the positive comments and watching everyone's progress. I achieved a huge milestone yesterday when the scale showed a 100 lb loss in 9 months! I am so proud I could burst. It has been work though. I have 11 lbs to go. I will say though, when I have stalled, it has usually been because I wasn't following some part of the program! Keep working it and you will see results!!! -
