lajones21 got a reaction from Dee_1111 in 10 years out and cannot keep weight on
wow - thank you. so good not to be alone. Yes for whatever reason I rarely feel hungry anymore. That happened pretty much right after surgery and has never changed. I also find that when stressed food gets stuck while eating and I will throw it up. I was checked out and there is no physical reason for this so it is just stress but it discourages me from eating. Also food has a tendency to make me feel sleepy after I eat so I do not want to eat during the day as it will slow me down. My PCP has suggested weight training with minimal cardio also.So I think I will figure out how to start this. I hate food on the morning but I make sure to have at least 2 Protein shakes in the morning. I have also started drinking more Water, nutritionist's suggestion, and that seems to help with food I do eat.

lajones21 got a reaction from JeanaLuvsKisses in Vitamin Question For Veterans
I tried switching to non-bariatric Vitamins after about 8 years. I thought that they would be okay nutritionally. and they are so much cheaper. For me I was wrong. If you look at the percentage difference between Bariatric Vitamins and regular vitamins you will be quite surprised, also the bariatric vitamins are made for us as gastric acid or other body fluids to be absorbed. I went back to Bariatric Advantage vitamins a month ago and my energy level is already so much better. I take chewables but they also make pill form. As for cost I have to remember I am worth it
