I couldn't stand the liquid vit so I did the chewable ones for a while. I just switched to the nature made gel tab vit. They.r large but they go down... I can't stand reg pill vit the smell makes me gag & dry heave. I did gummies before being banded but Im scared they'll get stuck now...

How many days after surgery did you start to feel hungry?
betheboo replied to Moo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh I feel for all of u hungry people! I am 5 mo out so I can tell u it dies get better . I was starving on day 5 post op. Like gonna loose my mind & be committed starving! I cheated & ate runny mashed potatoes for 2 days until I.saw my doc & he said I could officially advance to mushies. I would say by about day 18 or so I was pretty much back on a reg diet & I had to wait a month for.my first fill. Looking back it doesn't seem so bad.... However @ the time it was truely hell! I cleared out my fridge & cupboads before surgery so I wouldn't have ne temptation... My poor hubby had a rough couple of wks too! Lol -

When will I feel normal??
betheboo replied to pinagul0tta's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
By 10~14 days I felt pretty good. I was banded in April. I know I felt a ton better when I was able to progress my diet & was taking in some solid, well mushi, calories. I was only mushies by day 7. -

Eating out on Fridays with co-workers
betheboo replied to ctarantino's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If your diet has progressed it should be much easier... Wendy's: their chili is delicious they have good salads but watch the calories!... Quiznos: sorry no help have never been a huge fan I guess you could try Soup...McDonalds: I get a chicken nuggett happy meal with apples or their salads are good (grilled chicken of course!)... Local diner: I get grilled chicken or hamburgers minus the bread a lot ask for a side of veggies rather than fries... Pizza: somedays I can do thin crust. Hope this gives u a few ideas. -

Weird, but entering One-derland was anti-climatic
betheboo replied to oldiebutgoodie2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think we get so hung up on the next milestone ahead of us, b/c.a lot of us have so far to go, that sometimes we forget to STOP & look @ how far we've come.... Sometimes it yakes a few days to really sink in & for u to.realize what u've accomplished. So take that brief moment of time to really reflect on what a major accomplishment u have made! U deserve it! -
I own a body bugg & that's how I keep track of my calories burned. It is constantly on me & constantly.tracking my calorie burn . I luv it!

So I had my 2nd fill @ the end of June & since then I have been vomiting a lot.... Like daily... I have found I only have a small window of time I can eat solid food, it has to be @ least 3 to 4 hrs after I wake up, & even when I can eat solids it's slow moving. & on top of it all my weight loss has slowed down. For lunch I couldn't keep ne thing down but for dinner I ate a 5 oz chicken breast, half a small salad, & a few fries. My big ? is for people who have had unfil's... Did it hamper your weight loss? I'm scared I'll get some taken out & I'll be hungry & gain weight. Sometimes I feel like I paid 20,000$ to become a bulemic/anorexic
