Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Went to get all my Vitamins yesterday at the Vitamin Shoppe, I had looked online but it was so expensive. 2 sales people saw my list and immediately jumped in to help us. They had print-outs of approved items, notes from other bariatric customers. I got all my vitamins, a Protein Powder that tastes like ice tea with lemon to add to Water. Plus they recommended a mouth spray for dry mouth during hospital stay. Some of my vitamins are made just for gastric bypass patients. Oh and he also recommended using a juicer to help get in your need veggies since the main focus is usually Protein. Going local instead of online saved me $90 dollars and I got more than just vitamins, so I highly suggest going to a Vitamin store if you can. They also had high protein Peanut Butter and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember :-)

I am so ready for Tuesday!! I was around food/junk food all weekend and I haven't tasted a single thing. Not even a taste! 2 parties and I was drinking my Protein Drinks or crystal light. Wasn't even tempted to cheat. Yaaaaay for me! I lost 15 lbs in 12 days.

I think I'm just going to buy a few things to get me through my 1st week, but I'm afraid to stock up on a lot just in case my taste buds change.

That's really good Debbie, after being on my preop diet for just 7 days I know that that took discipline and perseverance. I can tell that you will do great on your journey!

Worked 8+ hours today (yes on Mothers Day) lol, cleaned my office did some last minute paperwork. Said goodbye for a couple of weeks (even though I was by myself). Ready to begin this journey, when the students come back in the fall they won't even recognize me, and that's GOOD :-)

This is it! One more day, I can't wait until tomorrow! Optifast went good, lost 18 lbs in 2 weeks! I was around food all weekend with Mother's Day and 2 birthdays! Very proud to avoid all the tempting food. Must keep busy today so time passes quickly.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
