    diabladepaz got a reaction from starr313 in Do you want my unopened vitamins?   
    Hi there, I bought a big supply of BariMelts and don’t love them. I know a lot of other people do, so if you would like these I’ll sell them to you below retail value. I already sold the Calcium to someone — they paid me over Venmo and I shipped them the pills. All remaining Vitamins are unopened. Here’s what I have:

    1 bottle of Biotin (retails for $14.99.)
    5 bottles or Iron + Vitamin C (retails for $19.99.)
    1 bottle of B12 plus (retails for $19.99.)
    1 bottle of B1 (retails for $14.99.)
    5 bottles of multivitamin (retails for $22.99.)

    Message me if interested and we can work out the logistics. Thanks!

    diabladepaz got a reaction from I Am Groot in Need vitamins? I have extra!   
    I ordered a six month supply of Barimelt Vitamins, and they haven't worked out for me. I just don't like chewables. But I don't want these to go to waste! If you can't afford vitamins please send me a message and I'll send them to you. I live in Forest Grove, Oregon so if you live nearby we could meet up and i could get them to you. If I am going to send them to you I would appreciate $20 via venmo to cover shipping, but if you can't do that it's not a big deal. I mostly just don't want these to go to waste. I have Multivitamin, Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin B and Calcium.

    Hi there,
    I purchased 6 months worth of Barimelt Vitamins. They're fine...except for the calcium citrate. They make me feel nauseous. Does anyone else like/want these? I don't want them to go to waste. All 6 bottles are unopened except for one. Message me if you're interested in buying them from me. They're $22.99. I'll sell them to you for $10 a bottle if you want to Venmo me payment. Here's the Vitamin I'm talking about: https://www.barimelts.com/products/calcium-citrate

    diabladepaz got a reaction from Orchids&Dragons in I feel like I blew it   
    I’m two weeks out and today was the first day I could have soft food. After consulting my BariatricPal nutritionist I knew what I was allowed to have from the Thanksgiving menu. I had turkey with gravy and sweet potatoes — about one to two bites of each. Later in the day I had a sliver of pumpkin pie with whipped cream, just the filling no crust. I logged it, loved it and am moving on. You should too! Doesn’t sound like a bad day at all...sounds like a small portion of holiday food on a day where almost everyone else pigs out!

    diabladepaz got a reaction from MegHealthy in How much sashimi/sushi can you eat?   
    I’m curious to know what a typical sushi/sashimi meal looks like for you post-sleeve. I had a cup of miso Soup and 4 pieces of sashimi - 2 salmon and 2 tuna. I feel satisfied. Before surgery I would eat soup, half a tempura appetizer, and one to two sushi rolls. Just curious to know what your portions of this meal looks like!

    Hey! I have no useful response as I was sleeved 5 days after you but I can’t believe you can already eat sushi! That’s amazing! How long were you on liquids?

    Yesterday morning I got sleeved. I was so scared and full of anxiety, but the doctors and team were incredibly kind and reassuring. I stayed overnight in the hospital and am home today. So far I’ve been able to keep down yogurt, cream of wheat, applesauce and butternut squash pear Soup. I’m eating everything very slowly and in small quantities.

    The worst part of the experience so far was being on the liquid diet 24 hours before surgery. The lack of food triggered a Migraine, which made me nauseous, which made the headache even worse. I dry heaved for hours, and at 12am my husband drove me to the hospital early so I could get fluids and zofran for the nausea. They couldn’t give me anything for the headache pain because I might not have been able to go under anesthesia a few hours later. Then we waited around at the hospital until my 5:30am check in time because we live an hour away from the hospital and it didn’t make sense to drive all the way home. So if you get Migraines too, I recommend getting zofran from your doctor BEFORE you get sick like I did.

    Overall, my pain is being managed well and I feel optimistic and hopeful. It’s a great feeling after months of worrying what will happen. Now the surgery is over and it’s simply about following instructions and doing the next right thing. I am on the full liquid phase diet. My doc said I could even have a latte! If you have any advice for me at this stage, I’d appreciate any insights.

    I’m 8 weeks post-op. For the first 6 weeks, I averaged about 5 pounds a week, but these last 2 weeks, I have only lost about 2 pounds per week.

    Creamers are high in sugar, generally...and heavy cream is high in fat. I know a lot of people like the flavored ready to drink Premier Protein shakes as a coffee creamer. They have chocolate, caramel, etc! Protein coffee!

    For softies I like low fat cottage cheese, Soups of all kinds (blended so they're not chunky, no Pasta or rice), yogurts like triple zero by oikos. Once I could have Beans I also liked vegetarian refried beans with some mild taco sauce and cheese, thinned out a little. Laughing cow cheese wedges are low in calories, carbs and fat. Good luck!!

    I got sleeved 11/8 and am on a full liquid diet with soft foods to come next. Would love to know your favorites for this diet. Best Protein Shakes, yogurts, other liquids? Best soft foods? Also I’ve received mixed feedback on whether or not I can have cream in my coffee. Thoughts? Thank you!!
