    babu1995 got a reaction from Krizivester in Multivitamin/Calcium/iron patches   
    I didn't at first I just started with the Calcium patch because I was trying to take my pills but after a month I couldn't take all the pills so I switch to the bypass bundle. Way easier to just wear 4 Patches a day. Lol

    I just ordered the pills because mine are so bad I feel like I can peel paint off the wall. Fingers crossed they work.

    babu1995 got a reaction from Nat2.0 in How to get enough fluid during the day   
    I was having the same problem with my Water. I took alot longer to add food in because when I tried I got sick so my NUT said to just keep doing the shakes until my stomach was ready so first thing in the morning my husband would bring me a 20oz Yeti full of water ( I use to drink crystal light before my surgery than hated it after but I found diet, decaffeinated lipton cold tea mix) I would drink 5 sips than waited 20 min and i would have 4 oz of a protien shake and 30 min later I would have more water and then 2 hrs later I would have another 4 oz shake and I did this all day long and when I really started counting 5 - 4 oz shakes ( 20 oz ) and 2 20 oz of water than the next day I would add 4-5 more oz of water and add everyday after that. I was on liquids for 4 weeks and then slowly replaced a shake with Soup, yogurt, cottage cheese and then week 6 I would add alittle more. I am now 3 months out and I am doing alot better and I now get atleast 4 20oz of water in a day. It will get better I promise.

    babu1995 got a reaction from sunshinetinks in Not getting my protein or water in   
    I am 3 weeks out and I am having the hardest time getting my Protein and Water in. Today I only had 2 4oz shakes, 2 oz cottage cheese and 2 oz grits. and 24 oz of water. I have tried but i get so full and it takes me 30 min just to get my shakes down. I am not hungry and so I dont have the desire to eat at all. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    babu1995 got a reaction from Acts238girl in Energy gone   
    I am on week 7 and I was feeling the same way and on my 4th week my friend suggested I get the B12 with energy patch from this site and man did it make a huge difference. I have more energy, staying up longer, waking up with no problem and just tons of energy. My sister is a skinny school teacher and she is always tired so I gave her a weeks worth of Patches and after day 2 she was also surprised at how much of a differance it makes... I promise this isnt a sales pitch it just really is a great product.

    babu1995 got a reaction from 2feelinggreatagain in 22 days post op- first time dining out   
    I have to eat out alot do to my travel schedule and this may sound silly but it works for me, I have a tiny glass bowl that I would put on my food scale and add food and most on the time it was between 3-4 oz so I take the bowl with me everywhere and I just transfer the food from my plate to the bowl and I dont eat anymore than that. As far as the wine goes I say DON'T, not only can the sugar amounts be higher than what you can do but you will get drunk very fast than sober but still feel drunk. I havent had a glass yet as I am only 6 weeks out but 2 of my friends did at 3 months and said it was awful. The last thing you want to do is be sick on Valentines day.

    babu1995 got a reaction from Alex Brecher in GUMMY VITAMINS what's your take?   
    I couldnt take the Calcium chew so I ordered the calcium patch on this site and they have been amazing, I also bought the B12 energy one. I just stick them both on my side in the morning. I had to switch to a gummie for my multi and I just let it melt in my mouth before i chew the rest and I havent had any problems with them.

    babu1995 got a reaction from sleevedrose in Emotions & frustration. 1 month   
    After my RNY on 12/28 and after that I can only do Lactose Free milk, I tried eggs last week and again this week and it was a total no go. I started taking Papaya Enzyme about 4 weeks before my surgury and that has helped but I now also take 1 gas ex every night both are chewable. I eat alot of cottage cheese, low fat refried black Beans and tuna. I am trying what my Dr. says and just try 1 new food everyday and see how it sits with me. Yesterday mushed carrots didnt work out but today greek yogurt was good.

    It will get better
