Recommended Posts

I split my time between Phoenix and Prescott. Where are you?

To Cwang re Bariatirc Vitamins: I also take the Bariatrice Advantage chewable vitamins and they make me nauseous also. I try taking one in the morning and one at night and just suck on them till the dissolve and hasn't been as bad. Good luck.


I only took one this morning and it came back up. Where in Az are u? I'm in Az too.

I use Bariatric Fusion chewables. They are the consistency of a caramel, but without sticking to your teeth. I got the mixed berry flavor. Yum

SJ, a level 10 pain at almost 6 weeks out is not "normal". Pain, sure. A level 10 in no way should be happening. At the least, knowing you ripped your scar tissue, they should give you decent pain reliever to take when you're not going to be driving.

So sorry to hear of your pain. Don't know if this would help at all but have you tried to sleep with a pillow under your tummy when you are on your side. I did that for the first 2 1/2 weeks after surgery. Took my back to pregnancy days.

Yeah, I have a pillow on each side of me in bed. Lol. I got a call back. They're gonna call me in some patch thing. We'll see if It helps. But apparently they can be expensive and bot covered If i don't have shingles (which I dont) so yeah.

Hi Jane nice to see you again, How are you doing? I'm losing very slowly only down 20 lbs since surgery on 2-14 I'm frustrated.

Oh man SJ. I hope they can figure that out. Pain that severe is rough and makes you tired even if you're getting sleep! Good luck friend.

I know! I asked my pcp for a muscle relaxer. Cause it feels like a sheet of tight ass muscles in the area of the incision. Her reply was heat. Been doing that since I ripped the shit apart a week out! But they are adamant it's normal. They caked in some patch thing... We'll see. I'd just like to sleep and bend over, or drive with some ease.

Thanks! I'm hoping these psych things will help. It's a numbing pain patch. But I have to cut them, and figure out exactly where to put it.

I just want a fukking pill I can take that will give me some peace already. The liquid lortab does nothing. Hahahhaa.

I'll just call whine one one. Bahahahhaha

Are the chalky or Gummy? Would love to find a gummy.

My NUT and surgeon say gummies aren't good post sleeve. The NUT said they have too much sugar and my surgeon just doesn't like them. Let me know if you fine an alternative to Bariatric Advantage, besides bariatric fusion. NUT says they're low quality and have poor absorption rates. But right now I'm only getting Vitamins from my shakes.

I know BA has a gummy multi now but that made me sick before the chewables did.

I had surgery on 2/10. I am loosing so slowly. I am discouraged. I lost 21 lbs before surgery and 27 since my sleeve. I have been so lucky that I have never had pain, gas or nausea. The only thing is that I am still so tired. I take a nap almost every day! My husband is the only one that has even mentioned that he can tell I'm loosing weight. I have been able to get into a couple of pairs of jeans that I couldn't before but I guess I am just impatient! I want to be able to go into Old Navy too!!!

Bariatric fusion has a chewy one. I can't have gummies until I'm 3 months out.

Omg! No! I'm so sorry. Did your surgeon's office have any other options for you? That amount of pain is ridiculous this far out.

Nope. "It's normal but you can try these patches". For $176. Wah wah wah.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
