You probably need to be on chewables until they tell you specifically that you can switch.

 

I take centrum chewable in orange flavor or the vitamints. Ask them if you can take these instead, they are about $8-10 at walmart.

Topic: Vitamins and Minerals- Taking them in pill not chewable form. Need advice.

Since I got the Gastric Bypass done last week, I was told now to take the vitamins and minerals. I see that I am recommended to take the Bariatric Advantage or Bariatric Fusion chewables. They have the iron, calcium, and other supplements that I need to take for life. However, I am out of budget when it comes to buying those brands and I have pills for those supplements needed.

 

I am able to take pills for the past few days in full without feeling sick. However, will my body have the ability to absorb them all?

I was told by my nutritionist that baby food is a good food for pureed food.

Topic: RE: Breakfast a no-go?

Hey all. Thanks for your responses. I switched to having a protein shake for breakfast and it has helped. There are some mornings that I have trouble finishing the whole thing, but I just keep it near me until it's finished.

Thank you all!

I hope you are feeling better.  Orange juice is pretty tough on the stomach unless you are adding a lot of water and making it crazy weak.  I would try just the protein shakes. GNC has a really good one that is very watery and I could tolerate it better than the ones you blend.  Later I did the blended ones.  What about just a liquid diet for a  bit?  Don't listen to the negative people.  You will get through this and be fine. Do keep venting.

Topic: RE: Having extra long days...more food or not?

That sucks for you.  I hope it doesn't last too long at those hours. It would be a set up for me to fall into bad habits.  It sounds like you have a plan.  Go gently and listen to your body.  You can get through this and try maybe broth.  It helps  me. Good luck.

Topic: RE: unwanted weight gain and having severe time trying to lose. HELP!

First of all don't freak and don't allow yourself to get on that hamster wheel that only helped to get us fat.  You had surgery and I'm not sure how long ago.  Gwen is giving you the best advise.  I suggest you do overeaters anonymous and for me I love oa online - I'm not a go to meeting sort of person.  It is all about the insanity of compulsive overeating.  For me getting calm allows me to make better choices.  I haven't had the weight gain but have been slow to to get the last ten pounds off.  And for me, it is more emotional.  I had to give myself permission to lose every darn pound.  That's just the way it is for me and now I accept that.  Maybe analyze if you felt really comfortable at 125 or if there are some unresolved feelings around that weight. I hope that helps.
