  2. I am told not to lift anything over 10 lbs, but that is right after discharge not sure what will be after post op check up.
  3. Here!....I did....not proud, but i have been finishing up my WW latte bars...eeeek...and I had 4 bags of crispy vegetables..they go on salads etc...they have 3 carbs, but the prob is there is 14 servings in a bad cuz a serving is 1 tbs. and I ate the whole bag which is about the size of a single serve potato chip bag..that is 560 cal. and 30 carbs...omg.....so the crispy veggies are gone, but i have 6 latte bars left and i just cant bring myself to throw them out......
  4. LOL...you r too funny....
  5. I wondered too how she was able to eat that much...makes me nervous all over again
  6. thanks shershrinking, I hope your right...I also drink big gulp and dont chew as much as i should...tried practicing, but keep forgeting.LOL......I think I will be afraid if I dont get dumping....I need reinforcment on my bad food choices, I Love my sweets!! ugh.................
  7. I would definitely call your dr..you cant assume anything..
  8. congrats kinssee and xxnomore...my surg is thurs day, 4 more days and i too am scared and excited all at once...cant wait to see your posts...good luck and God bless!
  9. Thanks everyone... :wub:
  10. so, I went back to the store to get the B12...not so much, there are 100, 500 1000, 2000, mg!! how much do we take, and where the hell are the multi with iron, dont they sell them anymore??? also...dr oz had a show that said we shouldnt take minerals anymore cuz they cause alzhiemers, so do we take the mineral or not...what happened to the little red one a days i took growing up ..LOL
  11. am I the only one who worries I may not lose wt after GBS?? I think about it all the time, what if I have this surg thurs and dont lose any significant amt of wt??? scaaaaary!
  12. No liquid diet here, my date is aug 1st....!
  13. I would guess that your body is adjusting to the low calories, I know even when I diet, I get achy...If not that then can you possibly be depressed, there is a post surgical depression that some get, including myself, but you can also be mourning your previous life that used food as a coping mechanism...your not able to do that anymore...Im sorry your going thru this, I probably will too, cuz I did with the sleeve and now GB...so im kind of expecting it...good luck, I hope you feel better soon!
  14. I was told the same about the calcium chews...stay away..so I guess i will just get the chalkie ones...at least till I heal...
  15. thanks mamafine...
  16. I was told to get cal cit..and a multi with iron...do we need extra B12 too...anything extra that i dont know about? thanks....
  17. NO wonder I couldnt find them with iron...LOL...I gave up on them cuz I couldnt find them with iron and then I couldnt find them without sugar...I was going to get the chewy calcium and the NUT said no to those..I wonder why?
  18. I wondered the same thing, like nuts or popcorn? I know it will be a while for anything like that, but then i wondered if it could be a never food?
  19. I just got home from the drug store, I went for cal citrate, multi with iron and got so over whelmed I walked out...I want to get gummies cuz they dont taste as bad as the chalkie ones, but they have 7 or more grams of sugar, is that normal amt or will I get dumping syndrome....never thought it would be this hard to get vitamins!
  20. I am aug 1st, and i am nervous too....welcome, we are only 2 days apart, so we can be buddies...
