Yep. For me, too much of anything at one time, including Water, gets me the same symptoms you listed. Slowing down on consumption has been a challenge for me, but one I work at all the time. Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

That sounds rough. I'd be calling my bariatric team. Sounds like you've got a lot going on and you may want to have your symptoms addressed medically. I hope you feel better soon. Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

I couldn't swallow my Vitamins afterwards without vomiting every time. After 2 weeks and frustration, I called my team. They approved me doing liquid forms and gummies. Since I have used those 2 options where I can, I've been able to get all my meds in. Check with your bariatric tear first as some don't allow gummies. I also found 3 Viactiv chews a day gets me to my calcium goal.....and calcium pills can be HUGE! Good luck! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

I have lost 25 lbs and I'm 1 month out. My sweet husband bought us bikes so we could ride with our daughter. We went on a ride for 6 miles today! I had to walk my bike up a few hills, but I did it! First time on a bike in 9 years. My butt really hurts, I think we need new seats! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

Thanks, all! I promptly looked up seats on Amazon...LOL! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone. I got some protein2o at Vitamin World and I'm planning on giving that a shot. I also plan to check out the other options listed here. Wish me luck! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! I have tried Atkins Lift. I can only handle the mixed berry flavor in small doses, can't do any of the other flavors. Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

Must be getting punkd. I was cleared by my surgeon and NUT to advance to textured foods, and my allergies are so bad I can't taste anything! Oy! Just my luck. Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

Perhaps, you could try eating disorders anonymous. I am a therapist and found OA to be contributing to disordered eating, especially if you want control all the time. EDA focus was different, just an option. However, there aren't a lot of meetings, but you can do online. From what I've read posted, I concur with the many others on here, a good therapist is warranted. Eating disorders are rarely about the actual food, but are often about the emotions behind it.....the ones we don't or can't deal with on our own. Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

YES!!!! Can't wait to get done with this phase. None of the shakes are appealing anymore. I can have Greek yogurt, but like the shakes, it gets old real fast. I saw a quote somewhere I recite in my head before each shake. It says, "The things you do now that feel like great sacrifices, will one day be the greatest investment in yourself you've made." Helps me get through one shake at a time.... good luck! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

Totally agree. I grew up in the 80s and we were poor, therefore, not finishing what was in front of you was not an option. When I was old enough to be on my own, and was not as financially challenged, I'd still tell myself that it was wrong and wasteful to leave anything on my plate!

That's all you can do, no sense borrowing worry from tomorrow or guilt from the past. You will be a double inspiration for people, think of all the hope you'll be spreading without saying a word! Simply amazing how much our actions speak to others. Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

I also had this problem, in fact, I'd throw up any time I tried to swallow my vitamins. I switched to gummies and I'm now able to get them all in without issue. I mostly take the VitaFusion brand and Viactiv. Good luck! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

I didn't. I just found that picture on google. You could easily make your own with a clear plastic bottle and a Sharpie.That's a motivational water bottle. You can get it on Amazon. That's where I got mine. The other side of the bottle has an inspirational quote. Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

I, too, had ulcers and it didn't interfere with surgery. As a drug and alcohol counselor, I congratulate you on use being in the past. Good luck with surgery! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App
