Calcium helps break down fat
My surgeon's nutritionist demands I take 1,000 to 1,200 mg by supplement each day. As well as Iron and a multi I am told to take Multi Vitamin early in the AM, Calcium 1 hour later, 2 hours after that a protein....jumping to later in the day another calcium 30 minutes after last meal , then 3 hours later Iron before bed. :hungry:

Check with your doctor- My nutritionist (and I was surprised by this) considers yogart in the first phase of liquids.

Papaya Enzyme (Protein Digestion)
My nutritionist suggested I get this just to have on hand. If you get a little stuck - you can chew one and it will help breakdown the protein to clear the clog. :hungry:

It's really important to weigh yourself on thoes scales at the same time of day (when measuring the fat). There are a lot ofules you have to follow to have an accurate body fat measurement. Don't worry. Some of the rules : scale must be on a very level surface, bare feet, not conducted and vigerous excercise in last hour, same time of day. It is the most complex measurment to get from the scale- so don't worry. I'm sure something was off about that measurement. :clap2: :clap2: 9 pounds YAY!!!!- Stretch Marks
GOT'EM!!! I hate them.... What's your most embarassing strech mark story? Mine is: being with a boyfriend and they say " what is that...did you cut yourself?" I wanted to say : yeah dumba** that's what happened P.S. It's really sad - no kids- I have no excuse :pout:- Scales!

Thank you all so much. I feel so loved.I went to my 1st 4 hour nutrition class for Dr. Moazzez. Everybody else there had a date but me :drama: . But I feel much better now. I again called my insurance company, (these people better hurry up and approve, cuz I will call them to death), to make sure they sent the letter to my Dr's office that lists all I need. I feel sorry for Pam too, cuz I'm gonna haunt her to death until this is done. Love you all again...thanks..I know I can be kinda emotional- Motivation/Exercise
Been on the treadmill everyday and going to the gym tonight (for the first time in a year):nervous - I just do not understand this
