Get bariatric vitamins. If they are bariatric vitamins then I just wouldn't count that with your carbs cus you'll have to take them anyways Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can't do eggs either. I also wouldn't drink the diet ginger ale, even if it's flat. It's still soda. Get honest kids juice pouches. They are a lifesaver! Expensive because they are organic but I love them! Low in cals and sugar Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So long as the fat and carbs are okay then yes! Absolutely! You're going to get sick of cooking for 5-6 meals a day! Trust me! My NUT has no problem with stuff like that or frozen dinners as long as they are high in protein and low in fat, sugars, and carbs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Honestly, consider yourself lucky. I'm 5 weeks out and basically the first 3 weeks post op I ate nothing. In the beginning I was able to do yogurt but things started going down hill and I was dehydrated and developed a kidney infection. I was in the ER 3 times in the first 3 weeks. Every single time it was for nausea. SEVERE nausea. Theyd get it under control and send me home then it'd come back worse than before. FINALLY on day 23, I believe it was, they sent a nurse to my house and gave me steroids and vitamins via IV and it literally saved me. I haven't had to take any nausea meds since then! At one ER visit I needed a potassium infusion because I was throwing up so much it threw off my electrolytes. Let me forewarn you... potassium infusions BURN. they burn a lot. Everyone's recovery is different. Be glad your only battle is head hunger. I went through so much misery those first few weeks that the thought of eating something that could make me sick again is so repulsive that my family could eat whatever they want in front of me and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. It'll get better it just takes time Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

See if steroids help... I needed them to decrease swelling so I could eat. Before that I had SEVERE nausea so I couldn't eat Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omg I have had SOOO many issues with my Zoloft!! Since surgery (1-24) it makes me so sick to take! I have to break it in half and just suffer through it [emoji30] I think I'm going to call my dr and have them start taking me off it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 2 weeks post op and don't even get in 10g protein a day [emoji17] I have an appt tomorrow. Just be glad you're getting what you are Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had a barium test done at 6 days post op and surgeon said all was good Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I'm 16 days post op and I'm having so many issues with food and liquids. I'm only averaging about 30 oz of fluids a day and 200-300 calories if I'm lucky. I'm barely getting in any Protein. Less than 10 g a day. I don't know what to do... so much seems to make me nauseous and I can't even stand the thought of food. I've already been to the hospital for nausea and dehydration. My mom is convinced that when I see the surgeons pa tomorrow that they are going to send me to the hospital to force me to eat. She thinks I'm deliberately starving myself for attention or that I'm depressed. I am upset about how things are playing out but I'm not depressed. I know this will pass eventually. When I can eat it's only about 1.5-2oz. I need calories from somewhere but I seriously CANT have any protein shakes. I've always had issues with them but since surgery... well those of you who've had surgery know what I mean. Help please! I don't know what to do! I've tried yogurts, Soups, Jello, scrambled eggs, ricotta cheese, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat... I really don't know what to do anymore. Even the unflavored Protein Powder is just ? help please!

Having bypass and I'll find out the date on the 16th. That's when we'll meet with the dr and schedule surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't see why it would be a problem. Ask your surgeon or nutritionist and see what they say Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Syntrax nectar! The chocolate truffle flavor is just like hot chocolate! Warm it up and it's identical!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 21(in a few days) and 240 (started at 250) and having Bypass this month! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Your insurance company should have info about home health care that you can have for those 2 days. My insurance specifically asked if I'd need it or not and I just got approved. No surgery date yet Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
