I have always been able to swallow pills! Please make sure that if you crush pills that you get the okay from your doctor or pharmacist! Some pills are extended release or just not meant to be put into the bloodstream all at once! This can cause an overdose or problems with your liver!

I think you are either going to lose your hair or not. I ate tons of Protein and lost mine. Went on several Vitamins about month 5-8 and it is growing back now. I still take Biotin, Calcium, b complex, and a multi. Everyone's body reacts different with regard to Hair loss.< /p>

I can't swallow anything bigger than a Tylenol and was told not to. No gelcaps or capsules. Btw my doc prescribed me lorcet liquid which post op was wonderful. chewable vitamins are great.

I was told liquid or chewable. If solid it would have to be TINY. Make sure you are getting your Protein in. This should help with hair loss.

I am finding it hard to get Protein in right now because I am on clear fluids only.....any suggestions?

Even on Clear liquids I was allowed Protein shakes. Is this not the case for you??

No, I on only allowed things that I can see my fingers through when holding a glass (is the way they described it). This is for just one more day though and then I can start Protein Shakes with my full Fluid diet. So I can suffer one more day I suppose?

Interesting...I was allowed Protein Shakes for my clear liquids and regular liquids. They made it a point to say, oh yeah and Protein shakes are okay that way you get some protein in.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
