Julzzz

Amazing!!!!

My doctor said not to take gummy vitamins - only chewables. He said there is a specific Vitamin missing in the Gummy. I found mine at CVS. They aren't bad at all to taste.

My doctor had me take Magnesium Citrate the day before surgery. Worked like a charm! The cherry flavor tasted great - just be sure and chill it. I took it at 2:00 pm the day before. It will clean you out within a few hours. Good luck!

Hi everyone! I had my band to sleeve revision on July 9th - feel great! Just a little sore and walking helps. I did gain 7 lbs from surgery but lost that plus 2 more. I am trying to figure out what to eat on the puréed foods portion for 2 weeks. Any ideas?

I had my sleeve yesterday and feel great! I had my band removed, hernia repaired and I feel very little pain. The only issue I had was I couldn't urinate after the surgery. We kept waiting - they sent me home with a catheter that I had removed today. Also, I gained 7 lbs since yesterday. A little discouraging but it must be due to all the fluids they gave.

I had my sleeve last Thursday, July 9th! ????????????

Hey all! I haven't posted since the very early days out...I was sleeved on 10/2/13 at 273 pounds. I reached goal in 9.5 months which was 159 pounds which would put me at a normal bmi. At about 8 months post op I started running. That was a game changer! I have since completed a triathlon, a 5k, 2 10ks, 4 half marathons, and on January 25th, 2015 I became a marathoner! I went on to lose and additional 20 pounds and I've been maintaining 20 pounds below goal ever since. From a size 22/24 to a size 2/4. I eat clean and train hard! I am really living my best life now!

Its been 3 days now and so different from the band. I sip very slowly - only drink 2 Protein Drinks and try to get in as much Water as possible. I average between 50-60 oz per day. It is so odd chewing the Vitamins since we are liquid only. Trying to be very careful. I gained 7 lbs from surgery but lost that and 1 more so far. Have my first doctor's appt Wednesday. The pain has not been bad - I have been walking and blowing into the device.

I had my revision to sleeve July 9th. Feel great, just a little sore. Excited to see the number on the scale go down!
