 |  I am back from surgery??tips please HI all, I just got out of the hospital this morning, my surgery was on tuesday. The surgery went well, although I was more uncomfortable than what I had anticipated. I am having a hard time gettin in food and fluids. The doctor suggested that I start my multivitams and supplements tommorrow. Will they upset my stomach?? I seem to always have nausea, will this settle down. I am open to any suggestions that will make my recovery period the most comfortable. Despite the nausea and the slight discomfort I am doing very well. I just wish getting in the fluids was easier. |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | It sounds normal to me. It is very hard at the beginning to get every thing in. Just do the best you can. Make sure you sip and take very very small bites. Try to get some sugarfree popsicles or fudgscicle they will help some. I also used those protein bullets and poured them over crushed ice and munched on them some to help get my protein in. Just remember each day will get a little easier and a little better.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | Glad to hear your surgery went well. I remember feeling sick like that when I first had my surgery, but it will pass in time. I know you have to make yourself drink and eat and that can be hard sometime. Trust me, it does get so much better. Remember, sip, sip, sip and eat slowly. Welcome to the losing side.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I had alot of nausea for about a week after surgery, i couldnt hadle smells or anything, it was not good, but it will pass and when it does you will feel like a million bucks, it can be hard to get anything down when you feel this way, i did alot of chicken broth and water, very important to get enough fluids in. anyway, glad you are home and everything went well for you
