Multivitamin/Calcium/iron patches
babu1995 replied to stargirl19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't at first I just started with the calcium patch because I was trying to take my pills but after a month I couldn't take all the pills so I switch to the bypass bundle. Way easier to just wear 4 patches a day. Lol -

I love my patches! At my 3 month appt all my labs came back great and my Nut and Dr. were very happy. I have a Multi patch, D3, Iron and B12. -
I almost had to do the same thing, I did Miralax and nothing, stool softener and nothing so I started drinking a cup of Smooth Move tea every night and it is not my miracle drink. I havent had any issues since week 2 and I am now 4 months out.

I just ordered the pills because mine are so bad I feel like I can peel paint off the wall. Fingers crossed they work.

Amount of Weight Lost in 3 months post-op
babu1995 replied to Want2BFitMama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HW - 228 SW - 202 3 months - 170 so I am 32 at 3 months and 58 overall. I have struggled with getting my protien in and so I have had several stalls but I am ok with it because I am feeling 100% better than I have in years. Everyone is different and my doctor says as long as you are loosing something its better than nothing. Keep up the good work. -

How to get enough fluid during the day
babu1995 replied to TheSirBeardsley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was having the same problem with my water. I took alot longer to add food in because when I tried I got sick so my NUT said to just keep doing the shakes until my stomach was ready so first thing in the morning my husband would bring me a 20oz Yeti full of water ( I use to drink crystal light before my surgery than hated it after but I found diet, decaffeinated lipton cold tea mix) I would drink 5 sips than waited 20 min and i would have 4 oz of a protien shake and 30 min later I would have more water and then 2 hrs later I would have another 4 oz shake and I did this all day long and when I really started counting 5 - 4 oz shakes ( 20 oz ) and 2 20 oz of water than the next day I would add 4-5 more oz of water and add everyday after that. I was on liquids for 4 weeks and then slowly replaced a shake with soup, yogurt, cottage cheese and then week 6 I would add alittle more. I am now 3 months out and I am doing alot better and I now get atleast 4 20oz of water in a day. It will get better I promise. -
I had my RNY on 12/28 and this week I have been feeling the same way. My NUT suggested I go back on shakes so I was able to do 3 4oz shakes today and it took me about a hr each time. It was the first day I havent felt like I was going to throw up. Everyone I talked to said it passes so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it does.

I am on week 7 and I was feeling the same way and on my 4th week my friend suggested I get the B12 with energy patch from this site and man did it make a huge difference. I have more energy, staying up longer, waking up with no problem and just tons of energy. My sister is a skinny school teacher and she is always tired so I gave her a weeks worth of patches and after day 2 she was also surprised at how much of a differance it makes... I promise this isnt a sales pitch it just really is a great product.

I had the same thing happen around the same time, sometimes it was so bad it would take my breath away. I had to wear my belly band all the time just to help control the pain. Several people i talked to said it was the inside healing and that it would stop around 3-4 weeks and sure enough the middle of week 4 I woke up and no pain and havent had any pain since then.

22 days post op- first time dining out
babu1995 replied to 2feelinggreatagain's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to eat out alot do to my travel schedule and this may sound silly but it works for me, I have a tiny glass bowl that I would put on my food scale and add food and most on the time it was between 3-4 oz so I take the bowl with me everywhere and I just transfer the food from my plate to the bowl and I dont eat anymore than that. As far as the wine goes I say DON'T, not only can the sugar amounts be higher than what you can do but you will get drunk very fast than sober but still feel drunk. I havent had a glass yet as I am only 6 weeks out but 2 of my friends did at 3 months and said it was awful. The last thing you want to do is be sick on Valentines day. -

GUMMY VITAMINS what's your take?
babu1995 replied to jennesis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldnt take the calcium chew so I ordered the calcium patch on this site and they have been amazing, I also bought the b12 energy one. I just stick them both on my side in the morning. I had to switch to a gummie for my multi and I just let it melt in my mouth before i chew the rest and I havent had any problems with them. -
How long before you were allowed...
babu1995 replied to JealousMuch's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At 3 weeks I was allowed fresh fruit with no skin so mainly bananas, strawberry’s, blackberries and raspberries. No melons or citrus. And he said no salad for 3-6 months, because it will fill you up but just go thru you to quick. I am counting down the days until I can have a salad.
