Sleeve for me---- you hit it on the dot.. Ive been slacking on my vit. And currently taking no Iron pills( There coming in the mail from bariatric adv.) couldnt handle anything else.. Im slacking on vit. Cuz they sometimes make me sick. Especially B-1.. I've gotta get back on track... Thank you

Im 6mths post - op and still very tired ALL the time. Anyone else feel this way? What could it be? Planning visit to Dr but just want some input

Thank you all very much. I did get samples from Bariatric Advantage for the chocolate rasberry truffle chews. I NEED MY Iron ) I love this site. Everyone is so very helpful Happy Holidays

What do you take for IRON PILLS?

Thank You so much for sharing.. I went to Costco the next day & got those kirkland steak jerky.. Sooo good..

ACNE HERE TOO.. but like above. I will take it over 300lbs : /

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!! Dont give up..

BEAUTIFUL!!! What an amazing accoplishment.. Congrats on your new family, new life..

I use the costco brand too, and feel the same way after. Even when taking B1 pills. I showed my Nut the costco brand calcium pills and she said they R perfect in everything we need. I have tried bariatric chews and still feel naseated after? I def. Have to have something in my stomach while taking my vitamins : /

ME TOOOOOO!! Face and chest acne.. wash twice a day w- treatment. Nothing working.. My teenage son says now he knows where he gets his acne from?? HAHAHA

Try the 5 day pouch test- google it. http://www.5daypouchtest.com/recipes/recipes.html I found the link. Give it a try! Make your tool do what its suppose to again : ) Good luck

I also have stairs in my home and it was a concern of mine so I brought it up to my surgeon. He actually encouraged me before I left the hospital to walk my stairs as part of my walking routine. He said it helps out alot more w- preventing blood clots because your using all movements in your legs.. Anyway walked my stairs and had no problems at all. Like mentioned above, it was getting in and out of bed that sucked..

I take prilosec

YEP i gained weight also. Its the Iv fluid. And any fluids you drank is being retained, because your body is in shock.

YES I too have that feeling around my scars. Im glad someone else is feeling that.

I am right along with you!! YES THERE IS A 240 land: ) Im currently 235... WAYYYYY BETTER THAN 303 : / Keep it up!! You'll be in onederland before Christmas...

I agree w- Caliblonde.. Thats what I did to loose my pre-op weight. Two shakes (protein) or I did lean shake from GNC. one for Breakfast then lunch and a reasonable dinner.. And Water WATER WATER.. I walked alot. Couldnt really handle much exercise @ 310..... YOU CAN DO IT!!!! BEST OF LUCK TO YEAH..
