I am 10 weeks post-surgery. I have lost 59 lbs. I am still having nausea. I was taking Zofran. I figured out through a process of elimination that the Vitamins and Protein were causing the nausea. So I stopped taking them and the Zofran for two weeks. The nausea stopped. Now, I have tried everything I can to try to re-introduce the vitamins and protein back into my diet. I can get the protein in. But not the vitamins. I cannot tolerate the after taste and I end up throwing up within a half hour of taking the vitamins. It doesn't matter when I take them or if I take them with food or without. I have also tried the liquid. I just cannot seem to tolerate the chewable or liquid stuff. Can you tell me if there is a pill I can take to get the vitamins in? Please be specific with Brand, dosage and where you bought them from. Thank you!

I would talk to your doctor and see what he recommends. Every doc is different and you want to make sure you follow their rules.

With that being said you do have options. My Vitamins are powder form and go into my Protein Shake. The name is new life bariatric supplements. My doc also suggested prenatal vitamins.

Please talk to your doc. The Vitamins r a must so they have to figure something out. I also have some that can be mixed in a drink they look like crystal light but u can drink them. Ask your doc first.

      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.
