  1. I have used gummies from the beginning. Just had my three months out blood work and everything was great.
  2. I am two months out. Have lost 34 pounds. I have a sip or two everyday of soda. Hasn't seemed to effect the weight.
  3. I had my surgery October 23 in Vanderbilt with Dr. Williams. Everyone was great. The hospital care, not so good. I have lost almost 30 pounds. I live in Middle Tn.
  4. My doctor made me crush until 6 weeks. I also got sick from some of the crushed pills. The best thing for me was to just throw in toward the back of my throat and chase it with water. I always had a banana popsicle to get the yuck taste out of my mouth.
  5. Normal. And do not trust it to be only gas.
  6. Thanks everyone. Even though I am not very happy with the answers.. I will try my best. But it has been the only thing I'm having a hard time with.
  7. I am soooooo wanting a diet pepsi. Can I ever drink one again. I am three weeks out. Please someone tell me its okay.

  9. I have been using the Flintstone gummies complete, love them. They dissolve quickly in your mouth. I will let you know if they work. I have a check up in two weeks.

  12. That sounds so familiar, esp the recovery room. I thought it was because I was self-pay and they wouldn't make any money on me. Hmm.Not sure now. But how are you doing with your weight and diet. I am so excited about not being hungry. I have lost 16 pds.

    My NUT says cereal is okay after four weeks.
  19. I am so glad that this wasn't just me. I was sleeved on the 23 of October. I can't go to sleep. Last night I tossed and turned to about 5 in the morning. Tomorrow I have an appointment with my Doctor. That is my first question. I need my sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
  20. Hey, I had the same feelings for just a minute. But yes, it is going to be alright. I love to cook also so last night for several hours, I looked up all the exciting recipes that fellow members posted. They look great. So hang in there.

  22. Hey Pam, glad everything is going alright with you. I am so glad Vanderbilt does not make us go on extreme liquids pre and post. So many on here had to do liquids two weeks before and two weeks after. Wow, not sure I could've done that. I go to Vandy tomorrow for check up. Scales say I have lost 10 pounds. Yea.....

  25. Don't mess around with this. If you are having doubts, ask yourself why. This is a very important surgery. You are the only one that can take care of you.
