  2. Vitamin water zero is my favorite! I get them by the case at Sam's.
  3. The only thing I really used was chap stick. Good luck!

  5. Keep your chin up. What you are feeling is normal. Everyday will get better. Give yourself a break. You just had major surgery. Sip rest and walk. Let your body heal and adjust. You are doing great!
  6. It would be convenient but I don't. They have way to many carbs for me. One of my go to lunches is subway. Mine allows me to get a kids sub without the meal. I dump the sandwich and eat it like a mini salad. It's perfect. I did get some of the Bariwise ready to eat meals to keep in my desk at work for emergencies. My favorite is the turkey chili.
  7. I pray you have a speedy recovery!
  8. Congrats! Everyday does get better and better. Keep up the good work
  9. Yep it can be. I had a lot of pain. Hang in there. Every day gets better. Take your pain meds and rest. I promise it gets better quickly!
  10. I have the bariatric advantage multi but bought Flintstones today. I can't always stomach the advantage ones. I was thinking about taking 1 advantage in the morning then the Flintstones at night. How many Flintstones are you supposed to take at once? I also take the bariatric advantage calcium in lemon and chocolate. They are both good. The lemon tastes like starburst.
  11. Congrats! That is a wonderful feeling. You want an added bonus. Combine that feeling with the happiness you feel when you think about not regaining it back. What a blessed journey we are on! Congrats again
  12. I didn't feel restriction until I started eating. Some during pureed but when I started soft I could really feel the restriction. Good luck!
  13. Try the Bariwise products from bariatric choice. They are like crystal light with protein. These were the easiest for me in the beginning. They are 60 calories with 15 grams of protein. They have a variety pack I started with. One difference is they aren't as potent as crystal light which is too strong for me and hurts my throat. They also have a great hot chocolate which was soothing.
  14. Good luck. You will do great!
  15. I did. Mine was an inch to the left of my belly button and about an inch or so up. My doc said it was muscular. Sometimes it made me gasp. Hope you get to feeling better!
