poginut 112 Posted October 11, 2014 I was sleeved Sep 26 and recovery has been well! Have lost about 24 pounds since surgery. And my doc said I could start soft/puréed foods. I had my wife scramble an egg and I was only able to take a couple bites, not because that was all I could take, but more afraid, that I might mess something up down there. Got my appt with my VA doc to start my B12 injections, as recommended by my surgeons office, I also got, from VA doc too, prescriptions for all the daily Vitamin supplements, but I'm scared to take them whole and I hate the crushed versions...any suggestions? But all in all recovery has not been bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thesuse2000 698 Posted October 11, 2014 As long as you eat slowly, you should be able to eat a few bites without worry. No more than a half cup at once. Pause between bites and stop at the first sign of pain or full feeling. I ordered chewable Vitamins from celebratevitamins.com. You can also buy chewable or gummy vitamins from the drug store. I was told not to take Vitamin pills/capsules until after a month out. Glad you're feeling well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
