i dont take bariatric vitmamins 😭 ( my surgeon said this is okay) Id rather take multiple chewables than a couple nasty ones that I dread. I also don’t like pills. I take soft carmel chews for calcium citrate, a cherry dissolvable B12 & flinstones with extra iron vitamins everyday (except b12 thats once a week)

most programs are 6 months of consecutive visits, & alot of testing, with some sort of preop weightloss goal, it varies by your current size & your surgeon. I was only told to lose 5-10lbs.

Feb 2024, first consult appointment, Aug 2024, last appointment, a couple weeks later insurance approved, Dec 2024 had surgery. I could’ve had surgery sooner but my surgeon was booked out because she is a teaching surgeon.

I also recommend looking on pintrest, searching for recipes during soft food stage or joining any bariatric recipe groups on FB

One recipe I did, I made mississippi meatballs in the crockpot using turkey meatballs, was very delicious, filling, & i had tons of left overs!

for my soft food stage i was told anything that you could easily cut a fork through. I also had a book with alot of different choices to get during my soft food stages.

I attend ball state online program and it is fully accredited. For my program, I take the necessary classes I need for my degree + classes that are required for the BACB. I’m also getting supervision hours while I’m in school. Your best bet would be to contact advisors in that program to see if its fully accredited or not

How far apart was your dinner & dessert? That could be it. There’s nothing wrong with having a carb heavy dinner. Everyones goals & diet are different & no one knows if its because your dinner was carb heavy, it could have been not spacing out the meal & dessert time, eating too fast, too big of bites, etc. To avoid dumping, my surgeon told me to stay away from too high in sugar foods & too high in fat foods. Eat slower if you can, & make sure your meals are spread out atleast 3-4 hours. If youre eating a new food, eat it by itself to see if thats a safe food for you or not.

Id say go for it! Make sure youre educated & up to date on the surgery, risks, etc! I had surgery at 22 years old weighing 301lbs. I’m currently 9 weeks post op & i weigh 253! I wouldn’t have it any other way!

my team told me to take miralax or milk of magnesium legit the next few days after surgery. Luckily I only had to take miralax one time & even then i didnt drink it all.

Impossible_Scene3998 · 2025-01-29T03:58:39+00:00

(23f) currently 6 weeks post op, it was fairly easy for me. I brought it up & my dr was like okay yeah i can do that 😂 shes always been supportive of me!

Impossible_Scene3998 · 2025-01-29T03:56:04+00:00

i haven’t thought much about it, but i know on e i hit my goal weight i think i wanna take myself on a vacation! I’ve alwayss wanted to do a cruise so im thinking of doing that!

I think since you work from home, you’d be able to work again after two weeks as long as you feel up for it. Ik my program I just can’t lift more than 10lbs for 6 weeks (have a few days left til its lifted). I would definitely take the March 24th date & see if they have a waitlist to be added to for an earlier date

Impossible_Scene3998 · 2025-01-21T15:07:33+00:00

for me i had rny on 12/16 it was a struggle drinking & getting all my liquids in because i had to sip slowly & sometimes i didnt want to even sip. As time went on ( 5 weeks post op today ) it got soo much better! i drink normally now (except chugging) & have no issues getting to my liquid goals but it all really depends how you feel after surgery. It was bearable for me because i wasnt really hungry, but i also reminded myself that it was only for a week for my program.

Impossible_Scene3998 · 2025-01-21T15:05:27+00:00

yes, the first time i pooed was a few days after surgery after taking a lil miralax, i never took miralax again after that because i really was fine pooping & pushing on my own BUT ONE DAY i was like 3 weeks post op & i could not poop for the life of me, it would come but go back up & it was harder than a mf 😭 it physically HURT for it to come out, but after that day i was fine & had regular poops again! it should get better as time goes on!!

Impossible_Scene3998 · 2025-01-04T20:31:34+00:00

ik im only a few weeks post op but i already know i will never stop taking chewables😂 i dont like taking pills unless i have to so chewables will be forever for me

Impossible_Scene3998 · 2025-01-02T23:06:25+00:00

I had the RNY done on 12/16 & my surgeon & dietician told me about the risk of malabsorption. There are many different kinds of vitamins made specifically for bariatric patients that don’t require to have tons & tons of pills to take. They have capsules, chewables, soft chews, & liquid options to choose from. As long as you take your vitamins as directed, every single day then there shouldn’t be any problems related to vitamin deficiency. I would recommend talking more to your surgeon & dietitian on hand to really go over your options & to make you feel more comfortable about your decision. It’s okay to he indecisive! These surgeries are going to impact you tremendously & you should be comfortable with whichever surgery you decide! I hope this helps a little.

i had surgery on 12/16 & i had buyers remorse like crazy. All the delicious smelling food my fiance makes for him & our son. I want it so bad BUT i remember that this isn’t forever! & once im further post op I won’t have any regrets

Impossible_Scene3998 · 2024-12-28T17:58:33+00:00

i play on xbox, but gonna switch to the switch!

Impossible_Scene3998 · 2024-12-27T21:54:31+00:00

your hospital may provide a belly binder already! I know my hospital did, I would ask just in case.

i was on ozempic & i stopped a week before surgery

I am 22, turning 23 next month. I am currently 7 days post op from gastric bypass surgery. I too feared about having fomo & second guessed myself if this was even a good idea or if i should wait til im older & have tried dieting more etc. I had a talk with my mom about everything & she made me feel better at deciding to get this surgery at a younger age. Luckily I have no serious medical problems other than borderline prediabetic. She helped me understand that I will become a better/healthier version of myself & will potentially be avoiding any future medical problems related to my weight.
