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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
