i would try to start taking the po vits. on a regular basis. have you tried setting an alarm clock to take your po vitamins. i can't really say much. i am not taking my calcium vit. i can't swallow my calcium petites. it hurts so bad. before surgery i had no problems taking pills. why do i now. it is crazy!!!

yea to you ml. you are really working that sleeve. can't wait til i am there. you are doing so well.

No i don't think i could take any topless pics either. i am feeling more fatter than when i was 68# heavier. i think it is because i have a waist now and then a huge roll on the upper part of my abdomin. it is jiggly and an ugly thing. the lower part of my abdomin looks pretty good. well good luck with the pics.

yea for you girl. i know how long you have waited to finally not be losing weight. also glad you are doing well after your gb surgery. today i finally got up the nerve to eat a small chef salad. it was so good and went down so smooth. i was amazed that it went so well. it also tasted so fresh and good. again i am so glad that you are doing so well. keep us posted on your progress.

well i am going to the doctor on monday cause my head cold is not any better and mucous is green-yellow. i don't feel good at all. was on the go all day long today so i am really tired tonight.

mr nich sr, what are the nutritional stats on the atkins bars at walmart? i want to get me some for a meal replacement. some days at work i don't feel like eating that much. something like that would be great.. thanks for the info.

I am going to ditto everyone else here about no regrets. i feel like a million bucks most days. today i have a cold but when i get better, i feel so good. i walk around much better with no pains in legs, glad to be fitting in clothes that are in the normal sizes. not the ones that cost $2.00 more because they are bigger!! it is nice to finally go shopping with so many varieties. i hope this helps you. i started out just being able to eat a few bites of scrambled eggs lets say, now i can almost eat the whole egg!! if you work around people that are of small frame, then yes they eat like small quantities. just look at what they eat sometime on a regular basis. good luck.

i have never had the band but i too with only the sleeve felt this way early on. some days were easier than others. just took it one day at a time. warm liquids still feel good to me and i am 11 wks out. there are days i don't get in enough liquids. all we can do is keep trying our hardest and take it one day at a time.. you are doing great.

i normally have scrambled eggs with cheese and a little bacon and it goes down so good. this morning i tried a poached egg and it didn't go down very good. don't know if it is because i am sick with a head cold or what. well i will try again in about a week or two. get tired of eating the same old things. everyone here is so encouraging. thanks guys and congrats to everyone for the tremendous weight loss. you know we should all add up how much we have lost and see just how much in all the grand total of loss. that would be awesome!!! i have lost 65# total since starting this journey, that is a equivalent to a little person like someone around 6-7 yrs old. that is awesome...

well that's true about season. i guess just worried about getting dehydrated. usually don't take in enough liquids on a normal day as it is. hopefully tomorow will be a better day as far as my throat. one of my nurse friends called me today and said "Laura, do you need me to bring some iv fluids down to your house?" of course i said oh no, i think i will be fine!! how do i really know. i absolutely feel horrible... well good night. going to lay down. thanks...

has anyone else experienced being sick so much since surgery!!! i have had a virus about 2 weeks ago- diarhea and vomiting. now i have a head cold/flu that is making me feel so drained. i can't drink hardly anything or eat because my throat is so sore. i am really sabatoging my weight loss. i didn't feel like exercising today due to this cold. i have no energy!! does any one have any ideas. also should i start taking some extra vitamin C? i don't want to keep getting colds and viruses just because my immune system is weak. please help!!:eek::sad0::frown1:

excitedtoloose=sorry you are going through this with your surgeon. he sounds like a real jerk face!! that office staff should have been respectfull to you. i would diffinitely go to the office manager and try to go to the hospital that supports him with your complaints also. they need to know how his office staff is treating their patients. hope you get to feeling better. keep us up to date on your progress with office jerks!!

oh cwalck , i am so sorry for what has happened to you. i guess i missed that part. hope you get to feeling better. hang in there and it will happen for you too.

ishary-you should be able to try them when you are on regular foods. good luck and happy eating!!!

hey cwalck- what is going on with you that you are so down about your sleeve procedure? sorry that you are having this much trouble.

you will. they do satisfy the need for crunch!! i think i found the ones at wal-mart that had a great nutritional count. good luck on the find.

yes congrats you two for reaching wonderland. can't wait to get there myself. please pray for me too. i am a major stress eater and tonight my son and i got into it over him learning to drive. he is so negative about every little thing. it drives me nuts and i turn to snacking!!! why oh why does my life have to be like this!!!

oh my God. I hate taking pills, vitamins or anything of that nature. it hurts so bad. speaking of my calcium i have to go take mine. i can only get down 3 a day. it makes me so sad at myself...

thanks luck for your thoughts and your long time being a vsg. you are such an inspiration to us that are just babies as this battle that we are trying to win. please come back and post more. we need to hear from someone that is that far out.

i have pretty much done the same thing as tiffy. i haven't really lost much weight like in the beginning but my clothes feel and look so different. everyday people look at me and say how much more have you lost and i have to say i am hanging around 62#. i guess the inches are shifting all over the body. well good luck. we are all going at different speeds. some days i wish it would just fall off in 3-4 months but i know that is not realistic. i didn't put 140# on overnight,but it sure would be nice for it to fall off. wish i had some insight as to what i am doing wrong. everyday i say i am going to stay away from carbs but by the end of the day i have to have something. blah blah blah... sorry for the rambling..

most days i don't feel like eating but once i do, it seems like i get hungry quicker especially in the evenings. i am fighting it hard tonight. i know it is just head hunger. i can and will do this. i am 22# pounds away from wonderland and i feel like it will never get there. i am going so slow with weight loss. i am starting to work out everyday. i am feeling like such a failure. some days i am so bad with the things i eat.

I love those lemony bites, they tasted so good in my sample pack, but they have alot of calories . . . that is why i won't get them, i do the disolvables . . . just as good without the calories. . . __________________ where do you buys those thineoneday? to swallow the petites pills hurt me and i just can't do them. i try everyday but i never get all 6 down!!

when i ate pizza a few weeks ago and it just wouldn't go down without hurting me so i just picked the toppings off and just ate that. it was still good and would probably do it again seeing how i can't eat hardly any bread products. go figure. it hurts all the way down..

i take b12 sublingual, 2 gummy vitamins that we bought at sam's, and suppose to be taking 6 calcium citrate petites but i can't swallow them without discomfort.

why do we have to a calcium supplement? i am having a hard time swallowing the calcium caltrate petites!! they are not that big but my God i am having a hard time with this. please help.. any suggestions would be greatly aopreciated.
