Having said that , I think a lot depends on age as well . I bet a lot of the people who are working out etc . are much younger than me !😊

That could makes sense too, I'm 45 so not a spring chicken lol

When I was only getting 300-400 calories in, I was definitely very tired. I’m getting in 600-800 now and I have a lot more energy. Try adding another 100-200 calories. Mostly Protein, some carbs and fat.

35 days post-op and still dealing with nausea/discomfort after drinking that is making it so I only get about 48oz of Fluid per day. It's not a problem when I eat though. Also I'm only doing the Multivitamin about every other day, which I know isn't ideal, but it makes me so nauseous.

Have you tried having your Multivitamin in between your meal? I have to do that with my B12 but after I eat because I get nauseous but since I been doing that it has improved

I usually take them while eating Breakfast, but I'll try eating a whole meal instead, waiting 20 minutes or so, and then taking them.

I have a mandatory nutrition class today but I don't know what it's for. I already have the info for stage 3 (soft solids), but I've been eating pretty much anything (healthy) as long as its thoroughly chewed, and it's about 2-3 months too early for the stage 4 "maintenance" info. 🤷‍♂️

I will also be testing this out. I never thought the Vitamins would be so hard to take in :/

Mr. Sean, it's worth going to for validation and probably new information. [emoji2]

So does anyone still have gas pain? My surgery was August 14. I have pain in my mid-back, chest and side. I’m assuming it’s gas. Just thought it would be gone by now? This week was my first week back at work and I have been walking even more than normal. I take gas-x every single day.

Which Vitamin are you taking? I'm taking the chewable Celebrate Vitamins and I eat it along with my Breakfast everyday after breaking it up into 3-4 chunks. If I ate it all it once it was terrible to actually eat breakfast.

When I got home from work yesterday i gave my Vitamin another shot. This time I didn't have it on an empty stomach. I ate some sauteed chicken and waited about 10 minutes then took the vitamin. I'm happy to say I didn't not get nauseous or throw up! Progress :)

That’s good . You must have been relieved . I have just been given anti biotics and was a bit nervous of taking them, but checked there was no sugar etc. so far after the first one , no side effects . I didn’t think to ask my doctor if it would be ok - like normal people would ! Hope you can keep taking your Vitamins with no problems now .Keep us. posted 😊

      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.
