I updated my photo on here. I think you can really start to see a difference! No more double chins and my neck is thinning out.

I have just realized that the chewable vitamins I have been taking post-op have about the same nutritional value as a lolly. Can anyone tell me what combination of vitamins/calcium etc you are currently taking as I am SO confused. thanks!

Camellia, is that the Vita gummies? I bought some for the kids and have been into the jar myself... very sweet. I'd been wondering myself if it was all too good to be true.

Hi Susan, It was something like that. I have since thrown them away but they were really yummy and yes, very sweet.

My dietician said not to worry about chewable and to take any good quality multi Vitamin with Water as you would any other medication you are on, even in the first week post off and when on puree.

I take 2x Citracal with D (morning and lunch) and 1x Elevit with iodine (before bed). I use a B12 sublingual spray when I remember, after brushing my teeth at night (it has a mint taste).

Hi Camella! I stopped taking vitagummies when I realised the adult dose of 3 pastilles gave me an extra 60 calories on mfp! I thought they tasted sweet as well-they have glucose Syrup in them My dietician said a soluble Supradyn extra was good if I couldn't handle a pill otherwise Centrum was fine.I have been taking one Centrum for Women tablet per day since the first week of fluids (zero calories).Also one Caltrate plus, silica (to stop hair loss)and Vitamin D.I also take other stuff but that is for my arthritis.

BTW: the vitagummy fibre pastilles are 5 cals for an adult dose of two gummies.A good alternative to jubes (joke!) and it claims to give 3 grams of dietry fibre but also very sweet.

Hey all- how is the 10 week challenge going for those of us who signed on? I had hoped to say it was going well but not so much in fact I have exercised only four days this week so am feeling a bit off... Planning to go for a run tomorrow though - start a new week off right!!

Will weigh in on Monday so won't know if it's affected my weight loss or not... Hope you're doing better than I am!!

Cheers Liss

Hey Liss-four days of exercise is better than none! I haven't stretched as much as I should So I bought a fold up exercise bike on ebay.It is compact but surprisingly sturdy and I managed 10 mins this arvo.

I have followed the "rules" on puree except for one ghastly night when I ate dinner too fast (yes I gulped) cos the kids were acting up.I didn't vomit but I couldn't stand up or lie down cos of the painful brick feeling in my tummy.I had to lay half propped up on the couch moaning feebly for an hour.Never want to feel like that again!! Awful!!Lesson learned.

I am glad you posted.I was about to weaken and have my first glass of wine but I won't now-lol-thank you

I have done week 1 of couch to 5k. Eating-wise I have felt pretty casual. Need to rein it in. I feel more hungry after a carb snack than before I eat it!

Hi Lissa, I did OK with goals this week except I only did 2 gym sessions instead of 3, but I did a good long walk last Sunday too, when something 'popped' in my knee, so it's back to my orthopaedic surgeon in a couple of weeks.
