When you take them with a shake do you make sure to take it near the end of the shake? As in you have a full shake coating your belly already?? I take all my pills including my vitamin with iron in the morning with a shake and have made the mistake of taking the vitamin before the end and I immediately vomited it up both times. As long as I take it near the end of the shake I am fine.

No leaks or leak test for me either. I think it’s pretty uncommon nowadays. A little anxiety is pretty normal five days out from surgery. Just think of all the medical issues you will have if you continue to be obese. What procedures or surgeries will you eventually need if you do nothing and what are the risks for those.

I was able to take pills right away but some teams have different advice on that. If you have any literature from your team it may actually say their particular recommendation for constipation in there. It’s that common.

I can’t remember what day it was that my team said to take milk of magnesia but one dose of that worked fine. Then they said to start taking soluable fiber such as benefiber daily. Walmart has a generic powder form that’s much cheaper and I just mixed a spoonful in some crystal light each morning. Anyways, I did that and it kept me regular every since. Once I got to a normal serving size of food I weaned myself off the fiber and now I don’t need anything. Many people do need to do something for life though post sleeve.

I take a multivitamin with 45 mg of iron included by procare health. Not sure if that is enough for you though if you are deficient but Those do not cause me any issues.

Good 👍

Some people do experience hunger post surgery but it is not the norm. It is possible that what you are experience is acid. Some doctors automatically prescribe PPI’s for this but some you have to ask for it. If you are already on PPI’s then some say that warm beverages such as tea help to curb the hunger.

Well I was going to agree is best to just tell them and I think this is the best idea for any of the doctors or nurses during the process. I told them all and they worked really hard to help me feel comfortable to the point it was really obvious and I just felt better because it was so sweet they were trying so hard. I’m glad you already knew the surgeon though.

Ok so my Netflix wasn’t working and I feel too lazy to clean today so I decided to do some research for you, lol. I think I found one product you may like. Hot hands makes heated foot insoles. It says they work for up to 9 hours and are TSA approved. They sell on Amazon five pairs for 11 bucks. Hopefully this helps a little.

This doesn’t have to be an end to your weight loss. I’m sorry that happened. That reminds me of when I was losing weight the natural way during COVID and I kept getting blisters or thigh chafing, etc causing setbacks in my routine. They suck but they are only temporary.

I take pro care health one a day with 45 mg of iron. I just had to smell them, lol. It smells like a vitamin but but not bad to me.

I just did a quick search on Amazon (I love Amazon) and they have heated everything!! Even Long Johns. I have to remember those for the hubby this Christmas. I just searched heated clothes.

Well the surgeon knows best. From what I understand though even with sleeve you can only take anti-inflammatory on rare occasions even years post op I am a little worried about that too because arthritis is very bad in my family but i Figured they would have to give me rx pain meds Since I had the surgery I hope they will if I need them

Ooh good.

Ooh glad to hear it is starting to ease up. Each day it should get a little better.

I just checked Amazon and it says next day delivery to my area? Do you do Amazon? Or maybe Walmart delivery (you can get a month free trial).

I am not in a similar situation not but wonder if you have reason to choose sleeve instead of bypass. Many people with history of gerd opt for bypass.

Ooh they are so cool. I live in florida so I had never heard of them either. I got them for hubby for Christmas and he loves them. They just have rechargeable batteries. Or should I say they are so not cool. Lol

What about heated socks? I know you shouldn’t need them but at least they aren’t as cumbersome as a coat.

Out of curiosity I checked Amazon and they have a beef gravy that is fat free. It’s pretty expensive but you should only need to add a little bit of gravy for a short time until you are able to tolerate it without any. There is a Turkey one too but you have to buy a three pack. I hate that.

I didn’t experience this but if it happens more with meat I’m thinking it may not be moist enough or chewed well enough. Some people it takes a while to tolerate meat. Have you tried adding sauce or gravy to see if that goes down easier??

I was able to take all my pills right after surgery. I would ask but I took all my meds that same day.

I am not but I have heard of at least a handful of people on here who are and they seem to do just fine. If you use the search feature and search for it you should find some of their threads.

Ooh no. Well hopefully you have a mild case. Get lots of rest and take care of yourself.

Well i totally understand where you were coming from but I also had WLS and just went through a complete re-pipe job at my house so I understand what is required of us post surgery and what living in a construction zone can do to you. But I can see how he must’ve felt too. Not that cheating was the appropriate way to handle it. But It sounds like these are things that you can talk through if you choose to.
