It's been a roller coaster for me. Sleeved on 9/10 I spent 3 days in hospital to return 2days later for another 3 days. Then I thought I was on my way to recovery when I was readmitted -I spent 10 days in the hospital for a very serious bowel obstruction. I've been home almost three weeks and finally able to move around. Weight loss? It is in a stall I have lost only three pounds in the last two weeks. I feel crazy frustrated and even though I know I need to just work my way through ( there is no going back) I dream about a time machine so I could go back and not do this! I'm also struggling with Vitamins. Anybody got ideas for a swallowable multi-vit? Trying many none has really worked. Thanks for listening and any advice is welcome.

Try liquid vitamins. They absorb better. I use Centrum. You will get past that feeling of regret once you start to feel better. I feel like that from time to time but as I get better I don't feel like that so much anymore. Sorry you are having such a rough time. :( Just take it one day at a time.

Try liquid or gummy vitamins. Sorry for your struggles. You can get through this and come out ahead health wise. Best wishes!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
