Down 20 lbs with 40 more to go. I'm feeling very tired. I'm having a tough time getting the Vitamins down. Does have any suggestions?

Just hang in there. I had days where I thought I couldn't take another Protein drink. Or the thought of food was nauseating.

I've had the blues some days and just felt defeated. I'm 11 weeks out and things are just now turning the corner. I feel like I finally have a routine. The first weeks were so touch and go I just did what I could and threw my hands up on the rest.

Just remember every day gets better. So chalk this one up to blah.

It's normal that you are tired right now. Bariatric Choice has Vitamin capsules that might work for you. They don't have that nasty vitaminsy smell and I find them quite easy to swallow. I've been swallowing Actigal since 1 week out and it is about the same size as these Vitamins.

I completely understand. I am at one month and going through the something. I spent Sunday at the mall. Today, I just want to go to bed and wake-up normal. Yes, I am losing weight but not feeling great. I believe that it will get better. You are not alone!

Thank you ... it's been a month and I want to just be alone and sleep. I will try new Vitamins. Your post has been encouragement ... I only told my sister I had the surgery done so it's been hard getting sick around my friends. The thought of another shakes makes me nauseated! But I need to get back on it to lose the next 40 lbs.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
