NewLA 31 Posted July 8, 2016 Hi, NewLA! Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling?I'm feeling really good. This was not what I was expecting. In my mind this was going to be so much worse. My time frame may have helped it... my total process from start to finish was 120 days. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful 1 22 Posted August 21, 2016 I'm a newbie in DC 8/8 trying to stay hydrated still trying to get in 2 Protein shakes and the chewable Vitamins. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elle09 157 Posted August 21, 2016 @@Beautiful 1 welcome to the losers bench. Staying hydrated is important. Sip a little as much as you can. I found for me to get the Protein in immediately after surgery I split my Protein into four smaller drinks per day. I also found my taste had changed and tried the Syntrax nectar Fuzzy Navel. As far as the Multivitamins I struggled with the bariatric Vitamins and ended up switching to Flintstones complete which I still use to date. Congrats and good luck to you!
