  1. I do take Biotin daily and tried the Flinstones with Iron (per my surgeons suggestion) and Bariatric Advantage multi and calcium and all 3 made me so queezy. So much that I have no desire to take them. I was taking a multi that agreed with me (pre surgery) but the gel capsules are horse pills! I'm not sure I can take them. I will check out the other brands and go from there. Thanks! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using LapBandTalk
  2. What multi-vitamins is everyone taking? Do you like taking them? Do you feel good taking them? I am horrible at taking Vitamins and have noticed a significant change in my skin and hair (hair thinning bad). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

  3. Another update, I have to have surgery ASAP. I have developed Pancreatitis and gallbladder needs to come out asap. Not happy. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using LapBandTalk
  4. Here's an update on my progress. Afyer my little situation 2 weeks ago, I didn't feel 100%. Almost like I was fighting the flu or something. Last Friday, I started getting SEVERE abdominal cramping and discomfort. After many nights of interrupted sleep and pain, I called my surgeon, he saw me at his office and sent me to the hospital. They ran a series of tests to determine I have Gallstones! Pending surgery if the pain doesn't go away by Monday. I'm not going to let this get me down! This is just a "hiccup" in the road!

  6. Here is the link to Dr. Oz's episode that CP was on. He gives the basics here including the shopping list you would need! http://www.doctoroz.com/search?q1=carb+cycling Good luck all! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using LapBandTalk
  7. I am so glad to see this question on here!! Thanks everyone!! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using LapBandTalk
  8. I've been considering this technique ever since I saw CP on Dr. Oz last week. I am new to lapband (banded 9/8/12) and am still leary to eat any kind of carb. Especially toast/bread. Now that I see all you having good results, I think I'm going to try it! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using LapBandTalk
  9. I actually had a cup of hot tea and a bottle of Water and the discomfort has subsided. I will certainly stick to the liquids for the next day or so. Strong possibility I am dehydrated. Thanks!! Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using LapBandTalk
  10. I have been drinking a lot of coffee (caffiene), I wonder if that has something to do with it? Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using LapBandTalk
