I'm so proud of you! Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

You're right Carla B. I wouldn't skip anything from the required supplements. I will check with my surgeon's office and my regular doc. I will let you know what they say. Thanks for your answer! Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I love your screen name. My favorite so far. Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I saw a bariatric multi on amazon that is a pill, only once daily. Anyone try it? Will my body absorb all the minerals in one dose? Trying to save money on supplements!!! Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

They should. Here's why: the cost of treating a malnourished, sick person is far greater than multivitamins. Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I tried those. It's crazy but my insurance will be a $600 copay for the direct mail from the drug manufacturer but would only charge me $60 if I go through their mailing service. But, if I go with that, I dont get the vitamins with the nasal spray. Boo! Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi there! Has anyone had any luck with their insurance paying for vitamins or supplements after surgery? Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm open to getting help for my emotional food issues. But how? Where? Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

And... please tell me this: where do I even begin in working with my past issues with food? Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, they gave me the go-ahead to exercise after 2 weeks. I'm wondering if this was a bad idea? If I'm getting 500-600 calories a day and then burning 250 of them by treadmilling and incumbent bicycling, is this why im starvin marvin? Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am sooo with you Meg. I dont think the folks who say they're "just not hungry" or "force themselves to eat" realize I dont have head hunger! It's a real emptiness in my tummy that calls to me... feed me, I'm hungry. Accompanied by physical growls!!!!! I cant imagine not being hungry...I hoped the surgery would deliver the fullness in my tummy. It has not. Grrr. I wish others would be more understanding sometimes. I'm sorry you're struggling, but you are NOT alone. Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm a month post op. I have started going to the gym. Could this be why I am ravenously hungry? My pouch holds way more than 4 oz comfortably. Taking 30 mins to eat 4 ounces? No way! That's impossible to fathom. Hungry=eat. I'm really freaking struggling here. I've lost the high of the pain meds. Lost the high of food which is my only true best friend I have ever had. I wanna get high!! Or get full from yummy food!! SOMETHING. I'm losing it. Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app
