I would definitely lift weights.

Yes, I am going to try to lift some because my arms are weak.

I just take my Multivitamins in regular tablet form now (and have been ever since I was about a year out), so taste really isn't an issue anymore. But back when I was doing chewables, I'd pick up either Centrum chewable or (usually..) the generic equivalent at Walgreens or CVS. You have to take two of them a day to meet our Multivitamin requirements, though (well, same with regular tablets - I take two a day)

I couldn't take the chewables, without getting sick. I had to start the regular ones after only 2 months post op (per my doc). I take Pro Care Health brand Multivitamin Iron Free. I do not take any calcium chews, or pills.

So I have been in this situation before where I have decided that I do want the surgery then backed out. So I have been for a consultation this past Monday. I am 5'10", 220lbs so my bmi is 32ish. I take medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I would have to be self pay even with the comorbidities. Its $10,000 @ Alabama Weight Loss which is near where I live. I have been reading where some people dont feel the restriction after surgery and its easy to eat anything. Should I save the 10 grand and maybe try the preop diet to jump start weight loss then do a high Protein low to zero carb diet? So on the fence about this. I was sure my mind was made up this time.
