I’m about 7 weeks post-op and after losing 15 lbs in the first 10 days after surgery I’ve lost less than 5 lbs in the almost 6 weeks since. I know that stalls are common but this seems excessively long so early on. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong and am getting really dejected. I track my food meticulously and have been averaging around 600 or 700 calories a day, never more than 800, and walk about 2 miles most days. I feel like it might be hormonal since I have PCOS which has caused issues in the past. Has anyone else had this happen and how did you break out of it?

I’m about 3 weeks post op and have been trying to find a good multivitamin. I tried a liquid kind but it caused diarrhea almost immediately. I also tried the Bariatric advantage chewable multivitamin but it causes vomiting within a couple minutes of taking it, even when I try just taking half. I’m on to regular foods now and haven’t had a negative reaction to any type of food that I’ve tried so it seems strange that I’m having a reaction to the vitamins. Has anyone else had this happen and what ended up working for you?

I usually take them about an hour after eating, maybe right after eating would be better. The vitamin powder also sounds interesting, it might be better since it’s more diluted.

Mine was the same way, the worst pain I’ve ever felt for the first couple days. Part of it for me was that I wasn’t on any narcotics, just extra strength Tylenol. It definitely felt like I’d been misled. I get how it can be isolating when it seems not many people have had the same experience. On the bright side, I’m two weeks out now and can hardly even remember how bad it was. I think the lack of narcotics definitely sped up recovery. You’ll be back to feeling yourself faster than you think!

Hi everyone, I’m having surgery in a few days and getting everything ready around the house. Does anyone have any foods that were staples/favorites for the liquid stage post surgery? Are the any other prep or comfort related items you were glad to have or wish you had had? Also does anyone have recommendations for Multivitamin brands they like, I’m looking for a once a day one.
