U need to check on how much from a dr, nutritionist, or pharmacy tech. Vitamins r good in small amounts. I've taken classes in college about this n the Vitamins that r Water soluble ain't to bad for ya if u get too much but the ones that r not (fat soluble) they r very dangerous ( one for example potassium). I will check my old papers from that class n see what it says. Hope this helps. Good luck n b safe!

Well I was banded on may 18 n it was an emotional time but I didn't cry just second guess my decision. I don't regret it at all but I have noticed they I am very or irritable at times. When I catch myself doing this I try to step back cause my 3 kids n wanderful husband don't deserve that. I have a great support system n rely on my faith a lot. Could not have done this without strength from God. When I feel blue I talk to my husband n pray for giudance, it really helps me. Good luck to all!!!

I haven't tried since I had my first fill couple days ago but to make it easier to peel peaches I boil Water and drop pack in for few seconds then pull it out n with my hands rub skin off. This is the way I can them to. Cool them in fridge or cook them either way. If u cook them smash with fork n enjoy. Very good n easy to eat. When eating banannas I split down center in 3 ways then pieces r perforated n much easier to eat ( I done this for my kids when they were small) my doc said feed myself like I was two, it's helped me a lot! Good luck everyone.

Well I am still a little sore but tolerating it, had my surgery on Friday n I must say I'm pleased with how good I feel. No pain meds since Saturday. Got to visit my family yesterday. I'm still not driving tho these roads are very curvy n they r doing a lot of construction so I figured prob too rough to venture off too town. I'm walking a little outside, I walked to garden n watched my husband work some, can't wait tip I can dig in. Hope everyone is feeling well after their surgery.

You are doing same as me. I ranted to get facts and support before I told everyone. My husband of course new he supported me 190% could not have done it without him. After I got information about the band I've told a few more people, they too were supportive. Good luck to ya. I had my surgery yesterday n I'm doing great so far really sore on right side n a little gas but doing well overall. The Lord really keeps me in his hands!
