Are you down 30 pounds since day of surgery or is that total including preop diet?

Hi all, I am so happy that I had this surgery July 16, 2013 even though it is coming off slowly, it IS coming off. My highest was in 2003 at 213 and I worked and worked to get off the next 16 pounds. It took 10 years!!! Pre op was 197 and now I am 182!! YEAH I am trying to be patient but it is difficult. I am also a stress eater and I hate my job so it is a struggle but my body now says "NO, you can't eat this" Thank you Lord, I need this.

oh Lordy do I chew gum!!!! I quit smoking two months before surgery .... so ya...chewing gum is fine it's the scare factor of accidentally swallowing that that the rule.... no gum chewing is based on!

That is since surgery. I was lucky in that my Doctor did not require me to lose weight pre- surgery. So it's basically 30 pounds in just over 30 days.

Are you tired a lot?

Are you tired a lot?

No, not really. But I feel like I am getting everything I need in my diet. Do you take B12?

Yes, I take Celebrate Multi, B12 and Calxim.

Rak, I'm tired all the time too. I take two B12, 2 multis and one Calcium with d. My nails are starting to split so I added liquid Iron.< /p>

I was wondering if its just the very low calorie intake (being tired) but it seems that some people aren't. Today I actually took a second B12 - wonder if that will help.

I was tired for about a month after surgery. But, the more activity I started doing, the better I felt. Also, I only drink G2.

After surgery since our caloric intake is so low every movement for us becomes exercise so I always drink G2 for it's electrolytes. And I think the 7 carbs helps give me the extra energy I need.

Thanks been drinking mostly Propel lately and need to try something else anyway.
