I was told to not take more than the recommended amount as a supplement and then there is some in the multi Vitamin because you can only absorb so much and the rest of the excess is in your urine..

If your diabetic the surgery of choice is the Bypass.. perhaps thats why they chose that Im surprised they just didnt do a sleeve while they were in there. My doctor basically said they would strive for laproscopic bypass but left the option for open bypass or sleeve if something was hindering the bypass

I had a lot of pain from day 14 to day 24 in my left side under where my incision was. The doctor said its because they stitch deep and tight there to be sure you dont get a hernia it was worse than any pain I had after surgery so it took me by surprise. My doctors rule of thumb if you arent sure call.. worth a call to the doctor to be safe

during the healing process I had pain in my lower stomach area where my skin is and in my upper left area under my incision. Its common however if it doesnt feel right its ok to call your doctor or team and to get it checked out

My hair has been coming out like Im a chemo patient.. in clumps the last 4 weeks It will come back.. dont panic Protein and Bioten supplement.. we all go through it..

your feelings are normal I remember having several questioning weeks.. but remember your body just had surgery It will create extra fluids to help you heal .. it happens I didnt lose the weight I gained from surgery (I went home 23 pounds heavier than I went in) for 3 weeks.. I was devastated then all of a sudden it started coming off. I go through periods every 15 to 20 pounds where my weight stays the same for a week or currently 13 days.. it happens our bodies have to adjust. I can say that Im almost 5 months now and Im thrilled where I am and where I am headed. You will feel that way to one day. So dont regret happier days are ahead

I felt and still at times feel Im a slower loser.. but I must say that all in all that isnt really so. Whn I look at the total and see Im still losing. I think sometimes we have unrealistic ideas of what we should lose. I gained 23 pounds from day of surgery to my go home weight after surgery It took me almost a month to hit 1 pound of loss from that. But I have lost 68 more pounds since then and I had been dieting for 4 months prior which I now understand also effects my speed of weight loss. Realistically I have lost 70 pounds at 5 months from surgery and 45 prior to surgery and I am healthier and 115 pounds lighter so I am happy. I will lose more..and so will you. You are doing fine. Get your fluids in and get your Protein in ( i need someone to tell me that) Get in 60 minutes of activity.. its happening.. be happy We didnt get here in a month or 3...

I use the multi Vitamin and the Calcium with D3 daily at the same time. I rotate them between my chest under my bra to keep them on easily and my shoulders Under my bra strap again keeps them in place all day. The only time they have come off is when I used them when I sleep.. I move around way to much.. Key is to just grab the corner when taking them off the page..

at least it was cheese..protein.. I am 6 weeks out and right now about half my food is cheese.. doc said that ok.. My nutritionist said something profound to me this week.. You had stomach and intestinal surgery NOT BRAIN SURGERY slips will happen.. you just get back on track.. YOU GOT THIS!!

Bariatric Pal store sends Patches I am trying them So far love them

ours was week 1 no more than 4 oz per hour week 2 6 oz per hour week three 8 oz an hour and it stays there..

My doctor said walking right away walk walk walk.. I started the stationary bike at 3 weeks Doctor made a great suggestion this week, 3 types of exercise at least and do them no more than 2 days a week and not in a row.. gotta switch it up so the body doesnt get used to it

I put mine on during the day so as I am getting dressed in the morning. I love them. I tried to wear them at night but Im a restless sleeper and off they came.
