My dr said the ones I had were ok as they were adult ones, however I am most likely finding something different as I am beginning to not like the gumminess. Lol... Walmart has the b complex liquid that is great.

Hey everyone just dropping by to say hello. I am now 9 days post op and getting better everyday. Still have some muscle soreness on my right side, but am very thankful I have not been sick or had any other issues. As of Monday (one week post op) I am down 10 lbs. That is a total of 41 lbs since I started this whole journey. I just get tired pretty easy that is the only complaint I have. I am on puréed foods now and no issues. Yay!

The nurse even said im getting my color back. :) Tomorrow I have more test' date=' they are still trying to figure out what's wrong. So far I've had an ultrasound, MRI, x-ray.

I have had right side pain, but my surgeon said that she had to cut more into my muscle on that side and that will pain for a little bit, but it will eventually get better. Has it gotten better since you posted? If it hasn't , then you should call your doc to be sure.

I have the right side pain too, you can tell by the way the incision on that side looks that he had to cut into more muscle. If it wasn't for that, I would be good to go.

      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.
