    When swallowing tablets of medicine?

    Bariatric Pal website has Vitamin Patches. Does anyone know if these are enough of what post gastric bypass are supposed to take and if they really work? Thanks!
  2. Purchased some items from the store and looking forward getting them next week.
  3. Well, geez.....should have been Happy Surgiversary. A little slow on this very cold Saturday. :-)
  4. Belated happy birthday to you!! I'll be 62 in March and just had my surgery this past November. I feel so much better and feeling 61 years young what I've lost so far....just think when I hit 62!! Again, belated Happy Birthday!!!

    Question about recovery/care at home

    I would encourage him to go. If you have help from your parents, then you should do fine. As suggested before, if one of your parents could pick you up, then you would be all set. I would ask them to bring a small pillow so you can hold it on your tummy to help with the bumps since you have an hour trip home.
  7. This is definitely a great site. Someone is always there to help with questions or encouragement.

    Need a Healthy Snack

    I eat Attain Nutrition Bars by Melaleuca. They are really good and there are a couple of different varieties. I am going more for the Protein factor but they are crunchy and satisfying.
  9. Well, loser in the Powerball, not even 1 number. Congrats to the 3 who won in 3 different states. I am a winner, though, with every pound I have lost and losing. That means a lot more to me than Powerball, even though it would have been nice. :-)

    When swallowing tablets of medicine?

    I am 10 weeks out today and I can take small to medium pills but would rather just use calcium citrate chews and all my Vitamins are chewable. I could probably swallow the bigger pills, but just have a preference not to. :-)

    Can't tolerate protein drinks

    The program that I am in also recommends Premier Protein. I find that it tastes better at room temp instead of cold, but that is a personal preference.

    Left Overs? Since we deal with so many...

    Foodsaver is the way to go! Be lost without mine!
  13. I just started posting today. Not sure why it took me so long except I am so dang busy. :-) I am so happy I am here and hope I can help others as well as getting help/ideas from others.
