I think all surgeons are different cuz my Dr had me start my Vitamins at my first week post op visit he had me start the calcium' date=' multi vit, vitD, & B12 but I told him I was gonna start the Biotin also cuz I jus grew my hair out & im not tryna loose it.[/quote']

Yeah they all are different, cause even when I went for my two week check up yesterday, she reminded me to continue taking everything else, just not the Calcium until 6 wks. Now if wish I would of asked why only not that Vitamin. Anyway we all have to do what were told, cause they know whats best for us.

Ur rite about that, they do kno what's best and each doc has their own program they go by. Best of luck to every1, how have u been since ur surgery and can I ask why u decided to convert. I was thinking about the Band but heard bad things plus my doc said RNY was better with better results.

Update: hey everyone I am back in the hospital. This time they admitted me and I don't know how long they are keeping me. Today I feel the beat I've ever had since the surgery. The nurse even said im getting my color back. :) Tomorrow I have more test, they are still trying to figure out what's wrong. So far I've had an ultrasound, MRI, x-ray. On top of that they had to do a PICC Line because no one could get to another vain and my doctor wanted blood work done. Please keep me in your prays, I just want to feel normal again

Are we allowed to do the gummies? I thought they were said to clog the small portal to the intestines or something like that. I hope I heard wrong, because the calcium chews are NAAAAAASSSSTTTYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

I was told no gummies and no childrens vitamins due to they lack the nutrition we need. Centrum has an adult chewable. I'm actually taken fusion chewable right now.

      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.
