Ok guys so as of yesterday my dr put me on purees. I started to finally eat very little bit. Today I see the scale has gone up two pounds!!! What the heck???? Is this normal???? I thought I'm supposed to be losing A pound a day????

Hi guys so I had bypass in 12/17/14 and I am having such a hard time taking the bariatric advantage EA multivitamins. I gag everytime I am soooo disgusted and it's like hell Everytime. I know I need to suck it up and just do it but the smell of the b12 in there just kills me I just wanna cry. It's so bad. I tried putting in food and yogurt but omg it's terrible. Any advise??? Is there anything else . I want to talk to my dr to see if he is willing to give me injections or something for crying out loud.

Yes I had surgery on dec 17 th and I was feeling the same exact way. It gets way better trust me. I would cry everyday for the first week. I am doing much better now i am on purees now. It gets better hang in there.

I'm on purees too ( I don't actually purée them I chew a million times and swallow knock on wood I've been doing pretty good) my dr said that if you're craving potatoes sweet potatoes or yams are a better choice.

Costalchick I am right there with you actually... I chew chew chew!! But for some strange reason soda is a crazy craving right now but no way I am not even gonna touch it! No sweets for me either. So far so good ...

Happy New Year everyone!!!! A new year a new us!!!! Wishing everyone healthy happy and a very successful new year!!!

I am 2 weeks out and on purees and soft foods and I don't have trouble eating some foods other patients day they have trouble with. I do not eat any sweets or carbs and I eat very small portions. So I guess everyone's different. If the scale is moving I wouldn't worry about it.

Vinnie hang in there it gets better!! Look at my previous posts I am only two weeks out I was feeling the same way! Met with my dr on the 31st he put me on purees and soft foods k am feeling a lot better, granted I am not taking in all the necessary protein but life's not as bad! I still have my days emotionally I am never se to eat like before, few bites I'm done. We just need to allow our body and mind to adjust to all these changes. But trust me if I can do it so can you! Hang in there. Let me know if you need any advise or support I'll help you as much as I can.

How true is this Melabsorption after surgery? And how long does it last? So anything we eat we only are able to consume 1/2 the calories ?? Someone explain please

Yeah I think the best thing is natural peanut butter besides the fat is "good" fat isn't it ? I don't think I would personally switch to pb2 because it has less fat, if one things less then it must be added with bunch if other crap.

Sorry stupid phone sent it twice

Good luck tomorrow Jaime Murphy

Omg can't wait!! I will talk to my dr about it tomorrow

Do you change the patches everyday ? Also does the b-12 stink??

No way!!!!!! Wow this is AMAZING!!! I didn't know you can do that!! Please do let me know !!

Yeah I mean I can't imagine it being that bad!

What about almond butter ?? Is that a good source of protein? Is it good for us?

Good question !! I love Chinese...

Thanks everyone it all makes sense. Drmeaow I was indeed a sugar addict . I'm hanging in there and relying on everyone for support:)

I am almost 7 days post op and need to dye my hair. With all the body changes would it be ok? Or should I wait?? I don't know what to do .. I know it's a weird question but I need an answer lol
