Hi. So my post op instructions from my doctor are to not start vitamins until 4 weeks post op. I’m following doctor’s orders, but curious if anyone was told to wait this long as well and if they know the reason for waiting.

Any suggestions on a good Multi Vitamins? I am 4+weeks post op and started Vitamins this week. I got these complete chewable vitamins from Bariatric fusion, strawberry, I am supposed to take 4 a day. I can’t stand them. They make me gag. They are so big and chalky. Any suggestions please. I’m ok with a Vitamin I have to swallow, no gummies at the direction of my surgeon. Thank you!!!!

My surgery was just this past Monday, May 10th. I miss chugging big gulps of ice cold water. I’m ok with taking little sips for now, while my stomach heals. But will there be a time I can gulp cold water again? And if so, how long did it take you?

Hi. In preparation for my puréed stage (surgery date was 5/10), during the purée stage does anyone know any restrictions on spices and seasoning? (It won’t be anything spicy, I don’t do that). What about Everything But the Bagel seasoning? Thank you

Thank you both so much, makes perfect sense. I will wait!!!

After my 1-2 weeks of liquids, the post op diet I’ve been given by doctor for Stage 3 is 1-2 oz puréed (mushy) soft, high protein meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. NO red meats, chicken breast or eggs. This seems to be different from everyone else’s plan, as I see so many have eggs and chicken. But I’m gonna follow what he’s given me. That being said, any suggestions of what puréed foods you recommend. I will not eat puréed, mushy fish. I’m at a loss.

Holy cow, all your liquids?!?!?! I’m impressed. I didn’t even come close. Today was my first day starting protein. I’m so scared to try to do too much.

Hi, I had my surgery on the 10th also. How's it going for you? I feel pretty good today, but I get cramping down my sides when i take the tiniest sips of water. It lasts less than 30 seconds, but not enjoying it. My go to at the moment is sugar free popsicles.

Hi... up bright and early, today is the day. Heading to the hospital in 30 minutes. What are your protein drink suggestions for this first week?

Thank you so so much for the info ❤️❤️

I love this ❤️ I can’t wait for a hotel towel to fit around me!!!!

Hi ... surgery 5/10!!! So excited!!!!
