Hi all... Was just banded on Wednesday, and today was the first day I could be on full liquids. This is also the day I am starting my Vitamin regimen (chewable multi-vit, liquid Calcium and B-complex). So I took all those, mixed myself a Protein shake, and found that before I could drink it, I realized I was full, just from the vitamins!

Anyone else have this issue? I'm not totally suprised (or unhappy) because it means the band is working already, but it was a little weird. :)

sometimes, if I feel a little like for a snack. I will take my Vitamins, and I am full.

Saves on a snack, and calories.

I get full from my vitamins.. I take them a few minutes apart cause if I take them too close together I get sick

Awesome - thanks y'all! I'm enjoying the 7lb weight loss already... I'm excited to keep going with the band and get back into exercising so I can lose the other 93 until my goal! :)

Blech. I hate Vitamins. They make me nauseated. But then I don't feel like eating anything for at least an hour. But then once they make their way through, I am STARVING.

maybe try spacing them out? when I was still in the hospital, i had 8 pills I had to take and it took me 2 hours to get through that. every 15 minutes I had to take a pill...sucked but I got and kept them down!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
