I didn't take my vitamins for about 30 days. I tried, but got sick each time. I had to go to a group appointment of one-month out people. No one was taking their vitamins bc of pain or nausea. It's slightly better since I can take the capsule now.
At the second day, I didn't think anything was easy! Maybe ice chips. I just concentrated on trying to get one ounce down at a time.
Good luck! And I hope you don't float away!!

I was sleeved Wednesday and today was my first day with few issues about my pills or liquids. I take 4 huge gabapentin pills and 1 tums size med. I split them all in half and spend about 90 min swallowing them

Sent before I was done...I started by B12 today. I'm also able to drink about 1000 calories and 150 g of Protein. Still have what feels like contractions of gas but gotta wait till number two!

I also take the rest of my pills no problem. liquid oxycodone made me vomit.

I actually feel like I could have had more protein for now they want me to get 60g of protein but shakes are tough sometimes

It gets easier. The first week is super hard. Your body is adjusting (and pissed) and it seems like everyone struggles with different stuff (shakes, Water, liquids...). Don't beat yourself up, take it easy. Do the best you can while you heal up. Before you know it - the shakes will go down smooth and you will be introducing new stuff. Try to focus on keeping hydrated and getting rest. The other stuff with come... GOOD LUCK and CONGRATS!

My sneaky way of getting all the Protein I get is I add a scoop of non-flavored 15 g protein to any broth or yogurt I eat. I know I'm eating about double the protein most people eat but I was on about 200 g before

      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.
