Is there anyone who takes their vitamins any way other than taking the chewables? Like I just can’t stomach the chews and they are awful to me but I’m trying to try different things even if I would need to take multiple pills I do not care I just do not want to take the chewable ones. Anyone have any routine with vitamins that meets the needs we need as bariatric patients?

Hello everyone, I could really use some input or info on anyone that has experienced numbness of the body. Where was the numbness? Did it progress? What did the doctor suggest and did it clear? I started to experience some numbness in my legs about 3 1/2 weeks ago. The numbness now has progressed to pretty much my whole entire body except for my head everything is numb and it’s to the point where it’s getting a little harder to walk without feeling like I might fall but I’m thankful I can still walk at this point. I don’t really experience much tingling and it’s not painful even though every now and then I’ll get a little shocks when I am sitting crisscross or stretching my legs out. I will say my doctor to test for vitamin deficiencies and I am a little low on two of my B vitamins and iron but we are working to fix that now. I would love to hear from someone who has experienced this or someone who knows about this type of issue good or bad I would just really like some input and ultimately resolution

For me it’s numb to the touch. I can’t really feel much pressure from my own fingertips when running them across my skin but it is also an uncomfortable feeling when standing and walking as well. Not painful just feels like my legs aren’t mine if that makes sense.

Oh I wasn’t aware about the profile thing but I will fill it out to help with answering questions. Was it only in your legs? Is it cleared up now?

Thank you truly!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for commenting. No I don’t have an issue taking big pills and I will definitely look those up.

Hello everyone :S I am a little more than 2 weeks post op and thankfully as far as healing I have been doing good. My first week was awful as I was barely getting any protein or water intake because it all felt super heavy on my stomach and I began to panic but even being two weeks out I’ve learned more about my body but it’s a working progress. This being said, even though I am getting more protein I am still lacking! Does anyone have any tips on how to get good amount of protein in? I push myself to do 30 gram shake and thankfully my stomach can take tuna but I don’t think I can do 2 shakes at this time and I don’t eat enough meals to get the rest of the protein in. I tired liquacel and it was horrendous! The taste just lingering of fish oil in my mouth has me throwing the bottle out and it was so pricey ugh I really need help

Hello everyone one of my favorite things to drink pre opt was body armor but of course I am not able to drink it currently do to the sugar being too high and don’t want to risk dumping syndrome. Is there anyone that’s months of weeks post op that can now do more than just 6 grams of sugar? Is that something that will stick with me lifelong? Or might I be able to have a body armor every once and again in the future? Any help I would appreciate 💜

Thank you all very much for the information, I definitely view it differently now. It wasn’t that I am eager to eat sugar but that I sit and think if I would ever be able to enjoy some of my favorite things that may have a little more than recommended to a bariatric patient but I will give this some thought. I really wanna succeed at changing my life around 😫

Yes thank you so much for this info, im buying those protein 20 drinks tomorrow to try!! Crossing my fingers 🤞🏾🤞🏾😩

I am on stage 3 already thankfully😅 I’ve tried a few different yogurts and I can’t even swallow it due to taste. I couldn’t believe it tbh . Thank you for the tip I am looking into the powder !!

Thank all of you for the information. It has really help me put my mind at ease and I appreciate the feedback 💜💜

Hello everyone, I have a question that I hate to ask but is there anyone that has experienced at least the step three or four diet that still takes super small bites and waits minutes in between each one or will I eventually be able to eat bigger bites? I have this fear that I might bite off more than I can chew literally when I’m able to eat solid foods and would love some feedback! Thanks I’m advance

Oh I see. Thank you, I guess my question was going to be if after surgery it made the dizzy or vertigo spells flare up at all or made it worse?

I know this might be a stretch but has anyone undergone weight loss surgery who had PPPD also know as Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness pre surgery??

I’ve been feeling the same and I’m 5 days post op. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone or something and it’s just depressing to say the least.
