I bought a children's Multivitamin online. Liquid Health childrens multi with no sugar. it was hard to find some without sugar. Got it on lucky Vitamin.com

Surgery clinics are all different but my doc said not to worry about Vitamins for a couple of weeks, just worry about getting better and getting liquids down. I'm 2 weeks out today and just took the liquid Vitamin today.

FYI the Jay Robb Protein powder was the best. But still having a hard time getting any Protein Drink down, even the ones I loved pre-surgery.

You probably know this too, but I got liquid Tylenol.

And gotta say, EVERYTHING taste different post surgery. Pre- I loved Water. Today I can hardly get it down, it tastes weird. It takes some getting used to.

Best wishes to you! And can't wait to hear how you are doing.

I didnt even think about getting liquid Tylenol, thanks for that! Is it true we shouldn't have Ibuprophen after surgery because it causes stomach pains? I heard a gal talking about it. Im going to check out that Protein Powder. Thanks for your advice as well!!!! :)

      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.

      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.
