Topic: Devrom

So As does most every WLSer I have the  uhh hem Gas issue, and of couse mine is worse than anyones ...lol. So I started taking beano a few months back and then added Devrom to it about maybe a month ago. Well about three days ago I started have pretty severe intestinal pain & cramping.  I was wondering if anyone has had any adverse effects to Devrom.  I have of course thought that I might just have a bug, but if I still have my tummy issues I will be calling the doc bright and early Monday Morning.

Thank You My WPPA Family

Be Well

Do You get Soup? This was Post Surgery, but unlike MANY I was hungry, The combo that really helped me was one ounce of split pea (No Meat) and two ounces of cheddar cheese. And Suzy We Know you can do it my dear!!!

At my preop class this past week, the nurse said start with one type of vitamin supplement a week and build up to the entire schedule.  (She claimed you are not going to get deficient in just a few weeks) 

When I got home my box of pills had arrived and I started to realize why.   It is over whelming to just figure out which one to take when and a few of them look a like so I cant let them get mixed up.... 

Go get the multi and the calcium and start with those...by the time you are feeling better after surgery, you will be used to those two and can add more...and you will have time to shop around.


If I forget to say it later, good luck on Monday!!!

No.  I nope she's okay.  Maybe she doesn't have access to the computer/internet.  Anyone have a way to get a hold of her besides here?

I take a chewable multi vitamin from Celebrate that's called Tangerine I think and it's SO GOOD.  I also take a creamy lemon Calcium supplement from the same place that's the closest thing to candy.  My iron is chewable too and I think it's orange too.  I do B-12 injections.  It's pretty important to take a multi vitamin, calcium, iron and some B-12.  I don't look at it as pills though...more like treats because they taste so great.  Let me know how I can help.

OY!  I should not have waited til the almost last minute for this - but I have not gotten my vitamins in order  ...I don't even know where to begin.  Would I be able to find everything I need at first at the Vitamin Shoppe???????  Ugh.  THAT's going to be my problem - getting in the habit ot taking all the pills I will have to take.

I really shouldn't complain - because I'm only doing the full liquid diet for one week - I know some have to do it for much longer. 

I"M HUNGRY.  LOL.  but I've lost 10 lbs since Monday.  And it's recharged me to be excited about surgery.  I wasn't really feeling too sure about it before this past Monday.  Wasn't sure I could comply after indulging so much as of late.

Bring it on!!!
