Ba vitamins were getting me sick about 3 months out. I have been taking nature plus adult chewable apple cinnamon without problems and blood work is great. They are big so I split them about 10 hours apart, I can't chew them I just let them dissolve in my mouth,side effect=something sweet and good for me and mouth busy. I don't want to sound like an advertisement but I don't miss my vitamins ever!

I was sleeved in dec have not been warm since.Great job !!! WelcomeHi ,that is high sodium ,my nut advised against it but I use the injury chicken its a nice change of pace especially in liquid phase ,be mindful of sodium intake and u should be ok. It helps me to use" my fitness pal "app as you journal your foods it keeps a tally of where you are for the day Nutritionally ie. sodium , protein , fats ...ectYou are doing great. I had the same problem dr and nut said because caloric intake is low. I am coming up on six months and energy levels are at all time high. I was cleared to exercise at 8 weeks and could not muster the energy to pack a bag for the gym let alone exercise . For me I had to block out the time and push myself to go at first I now do 45 min cardio minimum daily and weights very other - heaven help whoever gets in the way of that. Although it seems illogical,exercise is what helped me out of that funkCongratulations 65 lbs is more than some people lose with surgery,give yourself a little butt pat,way to go kid.For me the sleeve has been the tool to keep motivated,after the mind gives in the stomach can't really follow.The single best thing I have ever done for myself ! I did notice a beer in your hand in your profile picture,you would serve yourself well to research alcohol use post surgery(beer is a carbonated beverage),honestly ask if you are ready to put that on hold for a year.If so ,RUN don't walk and get yourself a sleeve.What? Your from jersey and care what others think,that's why we sent you to Florida.I am 6 months from surgery my doctors say there is no science to support compression garments to prevent or lessen skin issues. I find wearing a tummy belt gives me a full feeling sooner when I eat.
