My multivitamin(Celebrate chewable) has Iron which I take one in the morning and one in the afternoon and I take 1500 mg of Calcium (Bariactric Advantage caramel chewable)which is divided 3 times a day.. I was told by my doctor and NUT to take the calcium two hours after Multivitamin to prevent the calcium and Iron from binding together becuase they will not be effective.

I understand how you feel. I had my surgery last Tuesday 8/26. I am ready for pureed but I'm not hungry. I tried Greek yougurt yesterday with sugar free Jello mixed with it, it was okay but I really did not like the Greek Yogurt.

If you are having issues with the skin then decide if you want to remove it. do it for you and not him.

Why do you need to say anything at all. If your relationship is advancing that far then he should be accepting you for you. You do not have to say anything if you do not want unless he becomes your husband and then maybe you can tell him then.

Hi All, Sleeved 8/25, one week ago...I can drink a whole Protein Drink as long as I take little sips. Lost 12 pounds total but nothing the last 3 days (sad face). I'm getting 40 min on the treadmill, shooting for 10k steps a day. Would LOVE to eat some real food but staying with Soups and Protein Drinks. Got one inscision that is more sore than the others. I go back to work tomorrow. Hang in there all! So glad to be a part of the "no probs so far" group!

I had my surgery Aug 1....so I am nine days out. I get my Protein Shakes in..no problem...I drink water...sipping and with a straw no problem...I've lost 10 pounds. What I'm confused about is why am I having no problems... everyone else talks about their lactose intolerance or nausea etc. I'm worried my surgery didn't work. I can drink as much as I did BEFORE my surgery..I have ate eggs and mashed potatoes with Isopure Protein Powder added. I can't eat but about 5 bites before I feel it so I stop. I'm just scared to death since I have had no problems that my surgery isn't really working...

Your story is inspiring, I saw myself in there when you spoke about being dressed well and having hair together while being overweight. I think I was to complacent as well but look forward to my new life. I was sleeved on 8/26/14.

I'm just curious, so how many days after surgery was your Clear Liquids? I am scheduled tomorrow for the sleeve and my clear is only at the hospital then back to full liquids once released. it amazes me how the diets are different with doctors.

good luck on Friday, my day is Tuesday. I'm in Texas also.

congrats, my surgery is August 26th as well at noon.

Good luck Adam, I will be having my sleeve next week. Originally I was scheduled in November 2013 and I backed out but know wish I had went through with it. So I am taking my second chance.
