7 weeks post op, Starting an exercising class
I am a little nervous I have never really been in an exercise class. I really don't like exercising much but I know I need to. I joined the Y and I have been exercising on my own by walking on the treadmill and swimming. I don't feel like I am doing enough. What should I do to be ready for my class? Do I need anything special? No equipment is required. Should I buy workout clothes? How do I fit in? Maybe I should take geriatic chair exercise instead of the ripped exercise I signed up for I am NERVOUS!

Does anyone use centrum chewables?
I have tried a bunch of different Vitamins and they are all just not palatable for me. I have had samples of optisourece, Celebrate and several of the Bariatric Advantage flavors and types. I just cannot tolerate any of them. I am wondering if I will be able to use Centrum chewables. are they different than the others I have tried? Are they smaller? I like the centrum flavor burst but my nutirtionist I cannot use those, she also said no gummies of any kind were acceptable.
