Im only 10 days out and i just started the phase 3 part of my diet i can eat a small 3-4 ounce piece of fish and like a tbs of cottage cheese. I feel like im eating too much.

So im thinking im doing pretty good just so scared im eating too much. Ive been drinking Decaf coffee since the 3rd of feb just now starting to taste alright

March 1st

March 8th and getting very nervous

What about the gummy vitamins? Anyone have info on those. They seem to b all I can take. In multivitamin and Calcium. I also do 1 Vitamin D drop at night.

My surgeon and NUT will not approve Patches.< br>

I'd recommend talking to them about letting you try the Patches and seeing how your blood work looks. I've been using them for 6 months and all is good. I admit, I only switched to them after someone else seeing my surgeon was a 'guinea pig' and tried them for a few months and did regular blood work as well. So they do seem to work, and I love that I don't have to chew anything, and it prevents me from having take them with food to prevent an upset stomach.

I use the Centrum adult chewables (not the silver) it tastes like orange. I also take two calcium chews. And liquid Iron at the moment which tastes foul. Apparently I have to be on the liquid iron until 6 weeks post op... ugh

Centrum made me sick, I been eating the gummies, but my surgeon don't know.

Lol really maybe I caught him on a good day. I haven't seen him since nov 11th though. Had to lose the weight I gained. When I was in his office though he asked me plenty of questions answered mine and made me feel very comfortable. I'll see how he acts Thursday lol

I've met Dr Chin once and he was awesome very excited for surgery on march 9th with him. This made me feel so much better seeing so many people that have had them as their surgeon. Now I really want these 6 days to fly by lol

Update please!? I'm with him and Dr. Chin

Hello, how is your new stomach going? I'm getting sleeved with Chin next week !

I'm all about the patches!! RNY 10/24. Down 82 pounds. Labs all back normal on the Patches.

My NUT/Doc approved me to take Centrum Silver chewables since anything else made me gag. I have to take a double dose daily and Calcium. I also take Iron because I had an Iron deficiency prior to surgery & have taken it for years.

I just ordered Bariatric Advantage Multi Vitamin which is a chewable and it is absolutely disgusting. Literally, makes me sick. The cool thing is that they have everything I need except Calcium so I'm only taking 2 Vitamins and 2 chewables per day. My surgeon did not approve me taking the patch and says their isn't enough research on them. Anyone have a better tasting multi vitamin that has everything? Trying to get this sorted before surgery next Wednesday

Thanks!

And I feel hungry I'm over these Protein Shakes already lol

Girl just nervous, excited, a little of everything. I know this is what God what's for me though and I'm ready to receive it! How you feel?

March 8?

. My date is around the corner and some fear has to be expected. However, don't rush it. Surgeons are not going anywhere. I started classes for WLS at 16 and I wasn't ready to actually get the surgery until now, 24. I am grateful I waited and urge you to do the same. Otherwise you'll have potential regret even where there is success.

Hey!! March 8

@socaldeputy67 Update please! I get sleeved by him and Dr. Philip Chin on March 8

When you're just as fly in your before pictures as the afters ??

So far you lost 48lbs that's huge! Keep preserving it'll get better [emoji172]

I had my surgery on 11/21/2016, and I have lost an average of 2.5 pounds a week over the past 7 weeks. I have lost a total of 17.6 pounds since my surgery.

I have had a week where I have lost over 5 pounds, and some weeks where I lost nothing, though. I would like to add that I haven't been exercising yet. I have had some issues after surgery - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and I have already had to have my pouch dilated (at which point they found 5 ulcers) - all these things have kept me from being active. I can't wait to see how things go once I feel better and can exercise again.

This is awesome! Much needed thanks for such encouraging words!
