Post-Op Image Distortion.....
Throw away those baggy cloths! I too am a professional and when I started wearing the smaller cloths, I got so many compliments on my weight loss. It felt great. My first thought was wow I must look good in cloths that actually fit. Try it! I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

Mulitvitamins Make Me Sick!
I also get sick taking any Multivitamin on an empty stomach. I have found though that if I take the same multivitamin right after I eat, I don't get sick. So I suggest try taking them right after a meal and see if that helps the nausea.

Nausea When Taking Vitamins... What To Do?
Why are you taking them all at once? Thats about the same as I take and I space them throught he day. I take my multi and b12 right after I eat. Mid-morning I take my biotin and a calcium. Mid afternoon I take my b50 and another calcium. Before bed I take iron. Try spacing them out and see if that helps.

Down 75!
Was sleeved on 3/6. Including my preop weight loss, I am down 75 lbs. I feel so good. My back doesn't hurt any more. I can walk without having to sit and rest very coup,e of minutes. I can fit in a booth and an airplpane seatbelt. I'm going to the beach the end of the month and I can't wait. This year I will be able to walk in the sand and get down and build sandcastles with my grand kids. But. I still have a long way to go andim still FAT! When I read on this board about people who started this journey, wher I am today, it depresses me and all my good feelings go down the drain. They talk about how bad they felt when they were the weight I am now, I think wow I think I must not feel as good as I think I do. Then when I look in the mirror I still see the fat lady and again i think I must not feel as good as I think I do. What a roller coaster this ride is! But I must say I am so glad I got on the ride and I can't wait until I get to the end andi see the skinny lady in the mirror.

I was sleeved 3/6 and as of today am down 75 pounds. I eat whatever I want but in small quantities. I can eat 4 or 5 oz of met at a time. I track everything I eat and drink on myfitnesspal.com. I eat around 1000 calories a day, get in about 90 grams of protein and walk on my treadmill for 25 - 35 minutes almost every day.

What Do I Do With All These Protein Shake Mixes?
I agree with topgun! I have 5 jars of Syntrax mix in my cupboard that I drank before my operation but CANNOT stand now. I feel like I've thrown over a $100 down the drain. Don't buy anything until after surgery....your tastebuds will change.
