Vitamin Patches
Chattycat, I use Spring Valley Prenatal multivitamin/multimineral with folate, I bought a 100 count bottle at Wal-Mart. I think it cost less than $10. So far my levels are super cool. Also take Magnesium for leg cramping, liquid calcium citrate, Sublingual B12, Carafate, Wellbutrin(for mildish depression) and that's pretty much it!

Thanksgiving
Or fix something healthy everyone else can also eat. If all else fails , claim to be recovering from stomach issues, it's only a Gray lie after all!

Anyone regretting this?
And Lillyrose things were no better at 5ft8in and 365 pounds in October 2017. My weight kept creeping up, and it seemed like starving myself , diets and deprevation had no real effect. I was a Sad tired plump puppy-person without much hope. I swore I saw the Death Angel standing & beckoning with his finger. Was I going to join all my school friends who were deceased, should I just give up and let Death claim me? No I am red-headed , I am not giving up without a fight. I came into the ? red-headed, red-faced and screaming, I planned to exit this life more or less the same although I prefer clothed. I do get cold! And at 72, I had to do some tall talking, but finally had RnY surgery September 5th 2018, there are chapters to my story still being written , better than having the covers closed and patched.

Had to pull car over to vomit. Almost lost 50 lbs!
Love this threads title, don't You? I'll go borrow someone's ? car, just to open the door, and vomit out of it, especially for a 50 pound loss. That would put me down to 225, a good start towards 175 and then I could leasurely lose the rest. Remember the outside ? thinks surgery is a quick, easy and smoith way,to,peel off pounds and kilograms. Boy could we straighten out those folks my friends!???

Your gastrointestinal system has no conscience, feels no guilt, you just had a warning free-fall, didn't you? Gosh I'm so sorry, of course, I haven't had it. The way Precious Pouch and my rerouted intestines are, maybe never will? I get so upset and yes Frustr8-ed at the turn of events, but my nutritionist Roy, yeah got a MALE one, and the rest of my bariatric staff are NOT WORRIED, they say Frustr8 you're plowing your own pathway to success, you will be fine, you will be healthy when THIS is all Over! Me? I'm. NOT SO SURE !???

Doomed
Your liver will be 4.8% smaller if you a cheat to the diet, smoother for your surgeon, quicker and less painful recovery for you. We had a poster on here, less than a year ago, maybe 8 months? She had her liver torn , miserable recovery, life-threatening, no it is very rare, but I thought of her and a theater to my liver-shrink the full month of August, did It pay off? Yep it sure did. A lot of my surgery,peers were complainIng of pain that bent them over, could barely walk, not me man!

Good Morning Mikeyy, it's only a little after 7AM in the Eastern Time zone of the USA, many seem to be sleeping in. Elcee is Ballarat Victoria, my Friend Taoz is also in Australia. I think either of them could turn you on others "down under" I'll puzzle on this, see if I can think of some more people. Had my own RnY almost 10 weeks ago at 72, not doing perfect with recovery but I am fixable. Wiley Coyote , the cartoon character always talked about his "Great Brain", let's see what mine comes up with. I live in a small city of 20,000 called Mount Vernon, 48. miles from Columbus, maybe 80 km ? where I had my surgery, Ohio born, Ohio bred, my family has been here since Indian Days. Quick joke: Do you know what is said about people excessively proud of ancestors? They are like potatoes, the most important part of them is found already underground! That's me, a tad saucy and flippant!

September bypass buddies??
Hey did I update you on my latest? Dr Noria did stretch my stricture out a little, that was the GOOD part. The BAD one, my ulcers are no better, in fact a little worse. I am now forbid to be in the presence of anyone smoking or who is retaining smoke on their. clothes. Well neither Tomkitten or I ? smoke, last visitor we had that did, I made then smoke outside, told them I have asthma , well really I do! And I am to up my protein to 90 grams. And I was struggling to make it to 60 on this liquids only, Wal-Mart stopped having flavors of Premier Protein, only Chocolate which I can't have and vanilla which I am SO TIRED of. Krogers here I come!
