I had my surgery November 15, 2011. I am doing really good. Have not gotten my strength back yet but am working hard to. I have lost 14 pounds since surgery. I am really struggling to get in all the vitamins, water and protein. Some of the vitamins are just not going to go down easy, nor dissolve quickly. Wish there was a shot for all of them I could do once a week and be done with them. I will continue to try because I know I need to do this. I live near Waco, Texas and used Dr. Sims at the Provident Bariactric Center.

Welcome! Yep, the first 6 weeks after surgery are a lot about the basics..walk, sip, protein, water, vitamins (not in that particular order). Maybe try chewable multivitamins- I use a gummy adult one, but some people also do the flintstone type. I had trouble with the big pills, they just seem to sit there. If you're feeling full after protein, I find that a little activity helps. Congratulations on your new start!!

Hello and welcome! I'm in your neck of the woods...I live in Hewitt. I had my surgery done at Scott & White.
Congrats on your surgery, it will get better as you go along to get in the protein and water, you might want to try chewable vitamins for a while, I had to use those for the first 3 months then the doctor's office had me go to regular pills. Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. Nice to have you here with us.

Hi and welcome, we're glad you joined us. I'm with you, I wish there was 1 pill we could take and cover everything we need. 
Good luck on your journey.

I am chewing Flintstone chewables; one in the a.m. and one in the p.m. They taste a bit like sweet tarts. As days go on, you will be able to take the bigger pills. Just sip whenever you can. I don't think I got all the protein down at first. Now I mix SureWhey protein tubes, I mix one tube with 32 oz of water. You get your protein and your water, it is worth a try.
Good luck.
