My Last Supper... And Emotions...



Recommended Posts

From my understanding, PPI's such as Nexium, Prilosec, or Protonix can interfere with the absorption of B12. I take 1 sublingual B12 2500mcg daily. I'm also on 20mg Prilosec once daily.

My multi-Vitamin also supplies 250% of the daily value recommended of B12. I've never had any issues with my B12 being too high or too low.

Thanks Tiff...you are a wealth of information!!!!!!!! :)

Hey Key pirate

We all know about our "last meal" and we understand completely!!! I look at your list now and forgive me think HOLY COW!!! But that is because I'm 3 weeks out from the sleeve!

You will be so amazed at the fact that you won't feel that hunger you felt before, if anything you will feel too full all the time. I can only tell you my experience and so far I LOVE the sleeve. I'm not hungry nor do I think about food all the time, I need to remind my self to eat!

If you feel like I do after your surgery, you will be one lucky lady!! I love what it has done and how I feel!

I had to have a revision, so I had no regrets about having surgery, just go into it knowing how much better you will feel. How healthy you will be!!

Good luck and happy losing!

My last supper was a big salad lol :lol0: I've felt left out a couple times when people are pigging out, but for the most part, I don't feel deprived at all, because I can eat anything that anyone else can, just in small quantities. :lol0:

And your B12 will never be too high, that's just weird that she said that. Your body discards any b12 Vitamins that it doesn't need. That's why it doesn't hurt to supplement just in case.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
