Call your dietician or if you don't have a regular dietician or nutritionist you could try your surgeon's office. I'm betting they can give you an idea of what's going on and what to try.

I heard several people in my support class say that the Water put on temporary weight that will come off in 2 to 3 days.

I saw the surgeon today and got all my Vitamins and Protein supplements (is that not racket? $350 for 90 days of vitamins am two bags of Bariatric Advantage protein).

Holy guacamole! That's incredibly spendy. What brand of vitamins are you taking? Is it based on your surgeon's/NUT's recommendation that you get that particular brand?

I'm using good ol' Flintstones Complete chewables--actually, the CVS store brand of Flintstones. Even when I combine that cost with my Calcium, which is by Celebrate so it's a little more expensive and my B₁₂sublinguals, it seems like you are really paying a LOT! Here's how it breaks down for me:

CVS Multivitamin + Iron chewables: $12.99 for 150 (one per day)

Celebrate Calcium Plus 500 chewables: $20 for 90 (three per day)

B₁₂sublingual 2500mcg: $10 for 50 (one per day)

That works out to spending about $2.60 per month on Multivitamins, plus $20/month for calcium, and $6/month for B₁₂ --even with another $40 for Protein Powder per month, I'm coming in waaaay under three hunnerd dollars. If I factor in $20 for protein-enriched almond milk, I'm still under $100 per month. That $350 price really does sound like a racket!

Hello Everyone!!

So glad to have found this site! My surgery is scheduled for July 15th! I am SO excited and SO nervous all at the same time. I start my pre-op diet on Monday!! I haven't really told many people. A few friends and my in-laws know. My husband had Gastric Bypass in Feb so he is super supportive. Can't wait to get to know you all better!
