I visit you site from time to time to learn about your surgery.  I had RNY 3 months ago and was just curious what your doctor's protocols were for eating, vitamins and so on.  I know we tend to stick with our own forums, naturally but I believe we all have the same goal.  Also, How did you feel after your surgery?  I imagine we all feel pretty much the same, but I think it's important to be able to understand all the different types of surgeries and not just stuck on the ones we had. 
Thanks everyone!  Jane

 Hello and welcome :)

I am pre op but I have a friend who had the surgery over a year ago and I questioned her thoroughly.

She only takes calcium chews and multivitamin each day.

I personally think I am going to also add fiber after I have the procedure since the diet is so protien heavy.

I'm sure some vets will pop into here and add their imput as well :))

Hi Jane!  I think the eating part is about the same.  With the sleeve, there typically is no dumping, though some people do experience it, so the variery of foods can be a bit broader, though many of us choose not to eat certain foods anyway.  The NUT at the program I went to recommends taking a multi-vitamin, calcium and weekly B-12.  As far as how I feel - great!!  I had an easy recovery, and have had no real problems.  If I eat too fast, take a bite or 2 too many, or drink fluids too soon after eating, my stomach hurts, so I try not to do any of that.  Otherwise, it's all good and my routine around food is fairly normal.  Take care!

Thanks guys!  Sounds similar to RNY but I know you don't have as many restrictions and I appreciate you took the time to share. I have always said to everyone, be sure to check out all the surgeries. Everyone needs to be supported on these forums no matter what the surgery.  Again we are all after the same goal.  See you again soon!  :)  Jane
