tycolt1225 7 Posted February 23, 2015 My doc Vitamin list has Flintstones chewable on there. I don't start my Vitamins until tomorrow. I am going to try the adult kind first but I bet I end up doing the Flintstones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

☁️9⃣B???? 55 Posted February 23, 2015 How are the feb Sleevers doing? Have you guys gotten use to the 'new stomach'? I was suppose to have my sleeve done in feb and it seems quite unlikely for it to happen in feb. Most likely a March sleeve now ???? I sooooooo wanted to be a feb sleever ???? 'life is so unfair'(dramatic voice) lol Well I hope this just gives me more time to mentally prepare myself for D-day. How are you guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☁️9⃣B???? 55 Posted February 23, 2015 Im taking celebrite chewable but they make me nauseous. I never do well with Vitamins unless they are children's lol I have observed when you have these tablets on empty stomach they make you nauseous.... Best is to have them immediately after a meal!

ninnifer44 16 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm surprised how much better I have felt the last couple days. It's been 12 days since surgery. I am able the walk and get around without pain and starting to feel back to normal (and down 14 lbs wooohooo) every single day you make so much progress. Soups are down good, I've blended them so I don't have to spit out cream of mushroom. Life is good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsvw 5 Posted February 24, 2015 What are the multivitamins that everyone is taking? Any exclusive care post gastric sleeve? I am taking a chewable Multivitamin that my doc recommended: Bariatric Advantage Innovations Advanced Multi EA, it's got extra Iron in it and really easy to get down post surgery for me at least. In addition to that I'm taking some additional Calcium chewys that are a yummy caramel flavor and then a lil Biotin.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slenderman 13 Posted February 25, 2015 I'm really tired of the liquid diet, head hunger is driving me crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In addition to that I'm taking some additional Calcium chewys that are a yummy caramel flavor and then a lil Biotin.< /p> I'm taking bariatric advantage as well and they go down very easy ( at least for me). They aren't terribly expensive either, maybe $50 a month, which is a small portion of what I am saving on food! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whirlwen 65 Posted February 25, 2015 I'm really tired of the liquid diet, head hunger is driving me crazy. Heard that! I am now 15 days out and am on puréeds now. At the end of full liquids I was spending all my free time looking at recipes on Pinterest and drooling. I wouldn't recommend doing that--it's torture. I do have a whole new appreciation for the taste of food. I so enjoy my 1/4 cup of mushy food at every meal. Hang in there! You'll be there soon. I'm down 22 lbs from my 1 day pre-op and the 15 days since. Feeling great--walking 1+ miles a day or biking 5+ miles. Still a bit on the tired side, but it's getting better! Hope the rest of you fellow febbies are healing quickly as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry to hear that things didn't come together in time for you to get surgery in February, but March is only a few days away! I know how hard it is to wait once you make the decision to have surgery. You are a feb sleever in spirit, so please keep us updated on your progress!
