I didn't realize that you sold them. I would've bought from you! I ordered the multivitamin the B12 and the antiaging ones and they came today. I thought they were a little pricey but I'll check your prices too. I thought this was a good idea for my first month postop maybe I'll continue. I do wish they were waterproof. My first day and have already had a shower at the wrong time so it does seem very wasteful.

I have fallen in love with the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder unflavored and the chicken broth but gee that's pricey if you want to eat several meals a day with it so I'm wondering if anybody knows of any promo codes or coupons or what's the cheapest way to buy it? Also I HATE paying for shipping even when it's $5.99 flat when I buy 4 tubs. The cheapest way I've found to buy Premier shakes is packs of 18 on eBay for about $55. that's pretty good, but I thought maybe you guys know of even better deals. Thanks! oops I was buying 2 cases at a time on EBAY for the $55!

Ughhhh! I searched for a coupon code but none worked. thanks so much!

I just bought the multi and the B 12 today. Had never even heard of them until this post. They're kinda pricey - $40 for 1 month supply of both plus tax and shipping but for now ( 8 days out of surgery) it beats gagging on chewables! Thanks!

I just got my sleeve on October 26 so it's not even been two weeks. I'm down about 10 pounds but the main thing I notice is since I'm not eating very much I'm not so groggy or in a food coma ALL THE TIME like I used to be. I can't believe how clear my head is and how much energy I have not having a belly full of junk food and carbs. I'm in such a good mood, well probably because I'm walking every day which I haven't done in years and those endorphins are making me smile at everyone and people who have no idea say, "Well, you look good." I don't look any different at all yet haha but I'm smiling and happy. That's probably a huge difference. I'm optimistic and super excited about what life will bring for the first time in a long time.

Yes! I never needed deodorant until now! What the heck?

How soon do most people start adding fats? I can find soft foods but it seems the only lower carb ones have a lot of fat. I'm new so a little scared of fitting in only to barf at dinner! Lol

The ballet world is a freaky place especially at the top levels. Great background in some respects but body issues abound!

Was your surgery in the US? I have heard of people getting other kinds of operations where they cut you open and stitch you back but they don't actually do the operation! That just came to mind hearing your story.

Always yo-yoed. Former (in the last century) professional ballet dancer with serious food issues. Very successful business went completely broke with crushing debt after the crash and (unrelated) guy I was supposed to marry broke up with me and married some random chick 2 days later. Yeah, I'd call that a life blow. I just said to hell with it all and ballooned up about 70 lbs. (20 more than my all time high of 199). Boy, did I show him! Lol Sooo happy to be on the mend and turning this ship around and kissing those yo yo dieting days goodbye forever.

I'm a little worried that I can gulp down 8 oz of water in about 15-20 minutes at 6 days out. Hope he made this thing small enough.

Speaking of gas...if they ever start testing people for emissions we're all going to need some of that Volkswagen software. Ba dum bum

Thanks so much guys! The Princess Plan - my family would TOTALLY buy that! So would I in the old days - just no peas in the bed haha (princess and the pea?) keep 'em coming. It really helps get my head in the right place too.

Somebody was just talking about their "five scars" and I all of a sudden realized, wait a minute I only have three! what's going on? I hope my doctor actually did this thing, right? It was in the states so I'm sure he did... I'm just kidding. I think there might be a scar in my belly button I don't want to move it around too much I'm only six days postop but he's a freaking genius if he only did three. Those will fade easily and be easy to pretend I never had this. Haha But what's going on? Anyone seen this before? Trying to post a pic...

Thanks!

At 6 weeks post surgery I'll be going home for Christmas. They don't know! I haven't told anyone. What can I eat to blend in? They are used to me being on some crazy diet program off and on for all of my life so it won't be that strange although I know they find it annoying when I'm picky about eating. Oddly not the times when I'm eating every scrap in the house and costing them a fortune...anyway I digress. I am planning on being all liquid for four weeks and so it'll only be a couple weeks of starting to eat some puréed foods and things so it's going to be really a challenge. Any foods and tricks you guys can suggest? thanks so much!

I'm only 6 days out and I gulp too! It doesn't hurt me. Did he not make my stomach small enough?!?

Ive heard of Prilosec. I'm inly 6 days out and I can't believe how much I can hold! I can drink 8 ounces in about 15 minutes. Have never thrown up or had any pain. I hope that since I'm low BMI the surgeon didn't make my stomach larger than the usual. I'm not saying I'm particularly hungry but a couple times I thought I might be. I had heard of people taking Prilosec because sometimes the stomach acid is making people feel like they're hungry. I've never taken anything like that so I can call my doctor but anyone know anything about that?

How would one know if they're having gallbladder problems? what are the symptoms?

I would imagine they'd do a great job. Ive heard great things about medicine there. The reason most people go to another country for the surgery is because it's cheaper but if you tack on the flight to India I'm not sure it is still a savings although you could stay there for weeks for pennies or rupees, I guess in this case and probably have a great doctor and quite affordable medical care. Good thinking.

I'm counting the days! That's the thing I missed most during this last waxing yo-yo dieting phase. Never will I miss it again! Enjoy every minute!

I can't copy and paste thru this site for some reason. Really wanting that essential oils info - so interesting.

SUPER interesting link. I want to save it but it's abbreviated on my iphone. Could you spell out entire link please? Thanks!

Something just occurred to me about this. I read it in another thread about how your body stores so much estrogen in fats, men and women. And when you start to lose weight those fat cells dump all that estrogen into your body and sometimes men will get really emotional and have estrogen type side effects too. So I'm wondering if it's similar to a pregnancy where your body is flooded with hormones for the initial period time, when your main weight-loss is, obviously the first few months and hair can get thicker and longer, and then once that excess estrogen in the fat cells has been depleted there's a drop and that's when for example in pregnant women, their hair sheds a lot after having the baby so I'm not sure if Biotin, Protein, anything could help that short of hormone supplements at that point, which is certainly silly for hair thinning.

I will be flying at 6 weeks. Very nervous about handling it.
