I get mine at Wally World and take 5000mcg daily. No one ever told me how much to take I just started taking it and it has helped my hair and nails.

Mine too

Grats on your A1C!! I'm jealous.

I've gotten that question a few times myself.

My doc recommends Centrum and Flinstones with iron. One each per day. It is hard to find a chewable vitamin that is as complete as a regular pill. Just because they say they are complete doesn't mean they are. Check the labels. Good luck!

There are lots of beautiful women on LBT! Yes, I mean you!

Gummies are okay as long as you chew them completely. But like Nevara said they are far from complete, yet better than nothing.

I wished I hadn't told anyone.

Shredded cauliflower can also be used as a rice or pasta substitute Great for lo carb eaters!

I'm glad things went well for you but sorry you had a leaky port.

I have talked with my doc about this and I think there are a lot of people (but not most people) who fail with the band. But the reason is usually that they didn't follow the docs instructions. Sure, some will have complications beyond their control of course...........

HA! I have lived in both Virginia and MS.

My surgeon recommended Centrum and Flintstones with iron. That is what I take.

I am a type 2 diabetic and insulin resistant. I am on amaryl and levemir(insulin) and my blood sugar is in the 80-130 range. For me, it works better than metformin did. I have to eat low carb to keep my sugar in the normal range.

You MIGHT be able to swallow metformin at first, before you have any fills. But you are asking for trouble in my opinion. My GP switched me to amaryl because it is a much smaller pill and works well for me too. I'm really surprised your doc is telling you it is okay to swallow metformin. That is a big honking pill. But every doc is different, just like every patient, so you may just have to experiment to see what works for you. I promise you though..... if you ever get a pill really stuck you won't want it to happen again.

Be sure you get all of the protein you are supposed to. You might want to start taking biotin as well. See what your doctor says about it.

60 is very good. That is 5 lbs per month. Congrats!

I think steamed chicken with egg drop soup sounds pretty safe for you.

I understand how you feel. I hate people asking me about my weight. It really annoys me. As for your situation, 24 pounds is pretty good at this stage. Way to go!

I used to love pizza but after a year of being banded I don't desire it at all. Maybe the same thing will happen to you. Good luck!

That is a pretty good answer right there.

I have bcbs fed and it took me about 10 days to get approved after I submitted everything.

I have had trouble with chips and crackers also. They are not slider foods for me.

That is not very many carbs. I am diabetic also and I get about that much per meal. Course everyone is different.............

How many carbs are you getting per meal and per day?
