  1. Just had my Centrum multivitamin flavor burst and I love it. Thank god at least I'll be taking my Vitamins I hope that soon I'll be able to find something with Protein that I will like!!!
  2. I bought the unjury one. I literally bought very brand that people recommended. I tried the unflavored one, the chocolate one etc. I just do not like it at alllllllllll. I am so upset. I saw some bars that have over 30g of protein but are like 300 cal and I can't them at this point Uhg. Today is a day that I regret my sleeve .... Why does god have to make me so picky. I should be able to tolerate this stuff at least one of then.
  3. Today is such a disappointment I am so sad that I can't stop my tears. Today I tried 4 different Proteins and I had to throw everything I made because I was disgusted ... I was always a very picky eater. I loved sweets that was my problem.... I am soooooo sad I was only able to get like 15g of Protein maybe it's even less.. I don't know what to do or what to get. I spend over 200$ on protein products and I did not like any of them at all!!! I can't believe I did this to myself I am probably never going to be the same!! Today was my first day taking Vitamins... I took one Multivitamin that I bought from my surgeons office and I almost threw up.. I will never take it again. I took the b12 under my tongue and it was ok not the best but not something I can't tolerate. I didn't even try the Calcium because it looked exactly like the multivitamin. Today was just sooooo horrible. I was disappointed and I literally forced myself but just couldn't. Then I cleaned my room thoroughly and did 2 loads of laundry. I had too because I am a freak clean. The problem? Well when I took a shower my scar by my chest was feeling like it's burning and I looked at it and it's kinda open it's not like the other ones. I took the shower anyways and went to the gym after. The gym was closing at 5 and I get there at 4:30 and I was so upset. Went to cvs to try and buy some other vitamins because I don't want to give up. I found some chewable calcium vitamins that are caramel and chocolate and I bought both since it was buy one get one free. I tried the caramel and I loved it. It tasted like candy and I chewed it really really well and it didn't upset my stomach. I hope I will like the chocolate. I also bought fruit burst multivitamin which I will take with my dinner. I hope I will like it. I know these are probably not approved by the surgeon but I do want to take something and I have to take these. I really don't know what to do about protein. The only think that had high protein which I liked was the Greek yogurt. Farina only had 2g. Uhg this is so frustrating and upsetting. I tried a Jello sugar free double chocolate pudding which I've been craving since day of surgery and now that I am allowed to have it, my tummy didn't like it so much .. Maybe I ate it to fast and I will give it another try. I also am having mashed potatoes for dinner and I hope I will like them. The supermarket have them now in 4oz cups and microwaveable. I might add some sour cream. I am working so hard to lose weight and eat right. But I think I am going to have a hard time because I am a really really picky eater that it's unbelievable. Today was just a really bad day. I know everyone says it will get better but when?
  4. I need to find new vitamins. I am not taking the ones I have.... I hate to throw up or gag... Why can't we all be 100lbs and never have to worry about this stuff ... Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit. I need something that tastes like candy and not medicine. I am so upset that I spend 70$ on something that will go in garbage!!! The b12 is not so bad since it goes under my tongue but the other 2 is a big NO NO
  5. I might just buy the gummy ones because at least they taste better. I just spend over 60$ buying these vitamins that I hate
  6. I wish I can take gummy ones. This is my third week. They told me do not take gummies Uhg
  7. That's exactly what I have.. Soooooo yucky omg.. First time taking it and I'm already disgusted. I know they are important but I don't want to throw up
  8. Acing my first breakfast since dec 30... I'm having 4oz of farina. I like it a lot and so does my pouch. I am hating the vitamins. Yuckkkkk ... Did any of you not take your vitamins and been doing fine? I don't think I can take them again. It's making me gag
  9. Yay I finished 2 full weeks on my liquid diet. I am now allowed to eat more... Went food shopping today and it felt great to buy something like sugar free pudding and mashed potatoes and farina. I start tomorrow. How the hell am I supposed to eat 70grams of protein when I can only eat 3 meals a day??? How do you guys do it? Ohh and let's not forget the vitamins and 64 ounces of water!!!!
  10. Thank you guys. It sure felt great eating cake haha.., I could taste the chocolate cream. Yummy
  11. Thank you. I am going to buy the oil today!!!! I need to use it since I am working out and I would love to have some of them fade away
  12. So it's days 12 after surgery and lately I've been dreaming about food. Last night, I had a dream that my SIL came over and he bought a at least 10 different kind of chocolate cakes and I kept eating and eating and eating. Then I tell her omg I can't believe all the hard work I put into losing weight I just gained it back in seconds. I told her I wish she never came because I was doing so good. Before surgery, every time me and her hung out we made delicious food, got Snacks and watched movies. This freaked me out when I woke up because I thought I effed my baby pouch.. All good though, I didn't cheat haha That was a nightmare for sure!!!!!!!!! YESSSS, I miss my chocolate cake so very much.
  13. So I've seen some stretch marks on my tummy but never really paid attention to it before surgery. Now that I am losing my tummy I able to see them and omg I need to get rid of them.. Is there a way??! What cream should I start using? Please help!!!!!!' I need it desperately... I don't care how much it costs as long as it gets rid of the marks!!!!!!
  14. It went great. I had no idea that the first time they make you sit in a conference with other sleevers and they go over the meal plans... That took about an hour!!! As of today, I weigh 195 so a total loss of 18lbs. The doc said I look great and was ok with me going the gym. They even suggested to use the bike now. Today I went to the gym and I burned 250calories and walked 2.75miles... I feel great Ohh so since surgery, my neck has been killing me so the doc prescribed neck medication and I can't wait to take it so this pain can go away. It started with my neck, it went to the shoulder and then my head. Today I ha a huge migraine at work and I know it's all from the neck. I went for a massage, put on a heating pad including an icepack. So I hope these medications works. So I had 18oz of water while at the gym for an hour not bad ehh?
  15. You look amazing. How much was your starting weight and how much have you lost?
  16. Thank you. That's what the nurses at the hospital has been telling me.. Sip sip sip walk walk walk.. How am I gonna walk on this cold snowy weather? So obviously I have to use a treadmill. I will mention it to my doc today since my appointment is at 11:30....
  17. After reading this made me think that you are absolutely right!!! I can always have potatoes later. I will do everything I can to skip them lol. I think I can! Congrats to you too
  18. Thank you. Yea I'm going slow. I only walked. Didn't the doc recommend that? Haha... Not pushing or pulling anything more than a pound. I just have so much energy it's unbelievable.
  19. Thank god I've been doing soo soo good! I even went back to work on Monday and during lunch I go the mall and walk for an hour. I've been drinking lots of water and I don't have to sip.. I can actually drink a lot. Today I decided to go the gym and I only went on the treadmill for 50min and lost 200 cal. Tomorrow I see my but for the first time after surgery. I hope he lets me starts my second phase since I've been doing so well. If not, I can still wait till Monday ... I am so motivated to lose weight and of course heal... I even motivated my co-worker who is struggling to lose weight to go the gym makes me feel good.
  20. Omg congrats!!! How much did you weigh the day of surgery????! What are your tips? This my 9th day after surgery.
  21. I Went back to work after 1 week. I work in a office. Second day back today and I feel great
  22. Thank you everyone ... My job is so nice that they give me all the time to heal. Since I decided a week was enough my boss is going really easy. He told me to take my time. Luckily we are slow. I work for a law firm. I will have to look into Fiber. I might need it
