Hi everyone! I had surgery the 10th and everything's going really well I'm on zofran for nausea but all of a sudden I have horrible heartburn it's the weekend and I can't get ahold of the dr and don't want to go to the hospital because it's not an emergency but does anyone know of anything over the counter that I can go get

Thanks! The cauliflower sounds really good I'm definitely making that tomorrow!

I need some good ideas for puréed foods I finally get to start on Wednesday and can't wait!!!

i definitely think it is the pain meds it seems like i can either take them and throw up or not take them and be in pain, does anyone know anything other than liquid roxicet that i could ask him to write me a prescription for?..the doctor didnt give me anything for stomach acid can i just go to the store and buy something or is it prescription only?

I was in the hospital up until this morning I'm not on any heartburn meds just a liquid pain killer

I was sleeved on the 10th and have never felt so sick to my stomach in my life every little sip makes me want to throw up the doctors aren't acting concerned but did anyone else go through this and when will it go away...I'm getting as much fluids down as I possibly can but I'm MISERABLE!

Awe that's a really good idea!!!

Yeah I'm definitely excited about all the fun stuff that's coming up idk why I've just felt really down on myself lately, its judt very hard to realize hiw big i really let myself get :/ I guess I just need to stop living in the past and focus more on the new healthy me

Added all of you thanks!

Thank you so much!!! it's great to have such supportive new friends <3

yep october 10th thanks ill definitely keep you all posted!

Thanks everyone for helping me get my head in straight, my mom used to always tell me I'm my biggest critic and I guess she was right lol, I just feel like I'm carrying so much guilt about letting myself get so big and it's hard to let it go and just let myself be completely happy especially when theres a nagging voice in the back of my head telling me all the diets and things I've tried before haven't worked so this won't either...but I know that it will because I REFUSE to let myself fail again, I can't I'm only 25 and on the verge of diabetes, I don't want to die young I have too much to live for I really love the ideas of renewing my vows and buying a pretty dress or something that I can work towards fitting into, I guess it's time to stop focusing on the old memories and start making some new ones!!! I really appreciate all the support my surgery is on the 10th and I can't wait to start working towards the new HEALTHY me!

This is probably going to sound really stupid but now that my surgerys getting closer i find myself obsessing about alot of things and its really starting to make me depressed , not like depressed about the surgery im actually super excited about that but more like depressed that i did so many things in my life and wasted so much time while i was overweight, like i was looking at my wedding pictures and burst into tears the other day and no matter how many people have told me that i was beautiful in them i still pick out every flaw i see in every picture and it makes me so depressed because thats a moment in my life that ill never ever get back ill never have another wedding and i wasted it being overweight, obviously if i would have known i was getting the surgery i would have waited but at the time i didnt even know what vertical sleeve surgery was let alone that i would be getting it a year and a half later,..and thats just one example, pictures of my sons birthday parties and other events have been doing it, looking at my old clothes, it seems like any little thing can set me off soo i guess what im asking is has anyone else gone through anything like this or am i just losing it lol This is one of my wedding pictures so you can see what im dealing with...

i definitely think you should buy one just dont use it every day or you will definitely end up getting frustrated maybe just weigh yourself once or twice a week to make sure that youre staying on track good luck with your surgery mines on Wednesday!

So happy for you I can relate to EVERYTHING you said! My surgerys on the 10th and I can't wait!!! Good luck and definitely keep us updated

Ok I just added you both too! we'll all do so much better dieting with friends it's no fun doing it alone!!!

Thanks so much everyone!!!

Does anyone have my fitness pal I need some friends to diet with! My username is aprilcarrie

Thanks girls I'm definitely going to try it the bariatrics advantage makes me sick now so I really can't imagine what it would do after surgery, yuck!!!

i have a question for anyone thats been taking viactiv for calcium how many have you been taking per day and have your blood tests been coming back ok for having enough calcium and vitamin d in your body? thanks

Saw on the label of the vitacraves that 2 is a serving ... Since we're suppose to have 2 multi vitamins a day does that mean to take 4 of the gummies a day? My nutritionist has me terrified about vitamin deficiency soo how many are the rest of you taking?

I went to the store today and looked at the caltrate gummies and they have calcium phosphate does anyone know if that's good or bad for us?

Thank you all so much I think I'm going to try the vitacraves and the viactive with vitamin d since my vitamin d is always low

are they the vitacraves or a different brand? and ive tried caltrate for calcium before and liked it but wasnt sure if we were allowed to take it. thanks so much!
