My date is scheduled for April 18th. Just getting back to the site and beginning to work on my profile but I would love to find people who are starting the post-op journey roughly around the same time.

Looking for friends to share stories, progress and info. Would you be mine? Sounds like Valentines Day, yes, but we have to stick together
Topic: RE: Need help with Food and Vitamins
Hi,
My surgeon didn't say I needed to start my vitamins right after surgery and I had to order them once I got home so I didn't start taking them until I was started on soft food's. I would ask your surgeon when they want you to start them and if it's right away then ask about the chewable's right away? I'm guessing they would be fine if you chew them up real good and just drink a little water to get them down. I never did the liquid vitamin.

Edie, can you use this post surgery right away? Will I need liquid vitamins for the first few weeks, or can I chew these until they dissolve and be OK?--Margo

I am not having lapband but am having VSG so I wanted to let you know that I will be sending positive thoughts to your surgeon on the 25th. Anxious and scared is normal so take something with you that comforts you. I am 41 and will be taking my butterfly pillow to hug when it is over.
Let me know how you are and know that great things are ahead.

You are in my thoughts as you go to surgery. Your surgeon will take the best care of you as possible. Keep positive thoughts in mind and bring something with you that will comfort you when you get a little scared. I am 41 and will be taking my butterfly pillow to hug. Being scared is normal but I am confident that you will pull through with great success. Good that you don't have other health issues to deal with...me either.
Let me know how you are...

Topic: RE: T Minus 5 Days and Counting
No hunger here either. I'm having the exact opposite problem...haven't gone #2 since yesterday afternoon... which may be normal so I'm not going to stress over it too much today. I'm having trouble getting my liquids in...I've only had about 14oz today...I really need to step up on that. A little sore today but i've made a couple of laps around my house w/ my dog...want to do a few more laps before dark. Glad to hear you are doing so well!!
