vitamin patches? Do tell! The smell of this multi Vitamin makes me gag!

I found the Patches in the BariatricPal Store, currently I’m using the Multi-Vitamin, Iron, b-12 and calcium/d3. There isn’t a lot of research or stats but I’ve read on here that some use the patches successfully and I think something is better than nothing because at this point, my stomach just can’t take those vitamins...it’s just too much!

I actually feel better and feel like I'm recovering better from bypass then the sleeve. Maybe it's because I lost half my stomach already [emoji23]. How are you? How's your recovery going?
Well thank you! Every day is better than the last!

Howdy!

I’ve been a lurker here for over 10 years. I have wanted this surgery and prayed for it. Through a divorce, job changes (which mean insurance changes), disabled son’s surgery, Lupus diagnosis and then prescribed steroids, I have wanted and needed this surgery. But it wasn’t until about 6 months ago when we moved to Florida that I realized it was actually a real possibility. And it was, and is. And it’s happening tomorrow, March 27th. I haven’t wanted to post anything because I honestly didn’t believe it would happen. Can it be real???

      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.
