I get mine at Walmart 1000 mg easy dissolve by Naturol

Get you some Biotin it's a supplement that comes in a quick dissolve formula. Great for skin hair and nails! I have taken it for years ,way before my WLS

Awesome job! Congrats!

Cheryl2586, yes that's what I do pretty much, I put my portion of a cup on my plate and hardly ever get that much down before my band would tell thats enough but the last few weeks it hasn't worked like that. I would eat it all and say okay what happened, but I wouldn't eat any more either.

Well just got back from my second fill, up to 4.25, and I am so glad too, it seemed like just a couple days after my first fill last month that all of a sudden I had no restriction at all! I found myself eating bigger quantities and took longer before my band would tell me , ok I'm full now! It was a little scary, almost was afraid to get weighed at the doctor today! I did lose but not as much as I wanted too , only 4# this month but the good news from my blood work was totally amazing! I get to cut my Metformin down to half of a dose, cause my A1C was down and my cholesterol #'s were awesome, the bad was down and the good was up! YAY, that's what I'm talking about! For me this journey isn't just about getting the FAT off but getting HEALTHY and getting off all these blooming medications! So now I'll work harder this month on the weight, the sun is coming back out and old man winter is about to say farewell, so outside I will be! Think I'm going to go celebrate my numbers and go buy me a real bike!

Mine is below the bottom of my rib cage and above belly button on the right side. no scarring from fills, I get a little bruise and a polka dot for about a week.

Your doing great, don't let those scales rule you! You might be losing inches and not weight! It will come off, I promise, as long as you are following the guidelines it will work! I totally agree with everything Chasingadream said too! Your body is healing and takes a while too figure out what's going on! Just hang in there and try to keep those positive thoughts flowing!

Gee I am glad I'm not the only one who does that! Always in back of the camera, then if someone does try to take a picture I INSIST that it be a head shot only! Had to get a hold of my friend in Oregon to get a picture of me from last year because I knew she had snuck a full pic of me

Still impressive! You go girl!

Wow, congrats! That is amazing 64# in 2 months! I'm so jealous ! Lol I thought I was doing good with my 29# in the same amount of time ! What is your secret? Lol

Mine is all messed up too, ALL wrong!

I am 7 weeks post op and have lost 29#, which slowed down tremendously for a couple weeks but the inches are making up for it! I was a size 18-20 at the time of surgery. Last week I went shopping at a consignment shop and bought 3 pair of size 14 jeans without trying them on, thinking that they would be a "goal" for me, LOL I went home and tried them on to see how tight they were and how long it would be before I could wear them, THEY FIT, perfectly !! I measure myself every week, I'm not sure how to get the total inches like everyone is posting but I have lost- chest 3", arms 2", waist 6", hips 6", thighs 4". So I think I'm doing pretty good , and it hasn't even been 2 months yet! I have been this size for 15 years , so really excited what the next year will bring me! What is even better though is my blood sugars are way down, blood pressure too! That is more important than anything, my health is coming back!

Nature Made brand at Walmart, 250 mg, actually a pretty small tablet

I received mine from my surgeon on my 30 day post op visit

Y'all look MARVELOUS!

Congrats on everything! Life is good!

Yay! Congrats and best of luck on your journey!

So who all is in the pictures! Looks like y'all had a great time , wonderful smiles !

I have a friend from back home who is a "consultant". She is always posting on Facebook about all her clients and their success stories,,and always trying to push the cardboard tasting overpriced food! I just bite my tongue!

Oops

Magnesium pills make all the difference

Yes I burp ALL the time! Even when I just drink water! Hardly ever burped before the band, it has to be relevant to it! Always welcome the burps though, never want to get stuck , been there once. . . Never do I want to go there again!

Awesome post, thanks for sharing the details of your journey! I for one can't wait till I'm where you are ! You just made me more anxious to get there!, thanks and congrats !
