Here's the list of what I take:

Multivitamin w/ iron- flintstones complete 2 a day

Calcium- chewables from Walmart 1000 mg

B12 sublingual 2500 mcg once a day

Vitamin D- 5000 mcg a day

Biotin- 1000 mcg a day

The b12 and Biotin are just the generic brand from Walmart. The Vitamin D is prescribed to me by my surgeon and the Calcium is Mickey mouse chewables also from Walmart!

Here's my list

Fish oil lemon flavor (yum) trying to fix my low good cholesterol

Citracal petites 2 Breakfast 2 lunch

Vitamin D 1000 IU (I work with breastfeeding moms and here in Illinois almost all women are deficient)

Gummy multivites 2

Gummy B complex (new). I had trouble with the yellow pills. Couldn't stomach the taste

And Bariatric chewable Iron 60 mg (I was deficient and am now weaning down. Also the gummies don't have Iron which I somehow missed)

And my allergy meds

Please remember I am banded awaiting revision. I expect these will change slightly since I tolerate most pills for now.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
