Am I doing this right?
BostonWLKC replied to Kstef's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They won’t understand but mean well. Just concentrate on your protein shakes and water right now. Don’t worry about food HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 CW 180 5’6” -

Revision to bypass
BostonWLKC replied to Starfish23's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I never got dumping either and gerd is non-existent . A great tip is to put protein shake into your coffee as a creamer ! Ie caramel or vanilla - kills two birds Good luck! HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 CW 180 5’6” -

I wasn’t taking mine either for the same reason. Got a serious tongue lashing at Dr office about brain damage if thyamin levels drop and we become vitamin deficient . She told me she doesn’t care how we take them- just take them. Pill version or whatever. She recommended that I cut the chewables up to a size that is swallowable.... which is what I’m doing HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 183 5’6”

It’s common. Most if not all of us get colder now. Put another layer on and be sure to keep taking vitamins HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 183 5’6”
