I had lymphoma 5 years ago then did bone marrow transplantation 4years ago. I had sleeve surgery 38 days ago my surgeon told me to eat 2capsules of multi Vitamin a day but my oncologist told me that u must not! Eat Multivitamin it may cause that ur cancer comes back! I don't now what to do ? Any one with this experience? Do u still eat Multivitamin?

I hope you find your answers soon, I'm no doctor and I just don't and can't fathom having what your body needs is a cause for cancer to come back. 80% or more of cancer is usually diet related, like processed foods and tons of sugar (which it thrives on). Congrats on beating the cancer! And good for you to take charge of your health with the sleeve. I really do hope you find your answers!

I've never heard of such a thing. In 1999 I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma stage 4 (aggressive). I had a stem cell transplant using my own stem cells. After going through chemo if you did I simply can't imagine a Dr. saying not to take Multivitamin. I am NOT a Dr. but I would certainly get a second opinion on that. Good luck and congrats getting thru your bout with cancer. God bless hun.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
