I have not been good about taking my Vitamins recently because I hate the taste of the chewable tablets. I bought the women's one a day to try to take instead... it's too big, so I cut it in half, but then the taste of it cut made me throw it back up. What Multivitamin are you guys using? I would prefer one I can just swallow.

My Nut. told me to get Flinestone complete vitamins 2x a day.

I had my out of pocket expenses to finish up. So like i said in my eyes its small change. They only added it back in to the plan this year so in reality if i had to pay out of pocket 32000 over 2100 its a no brainer.

I love the lemon too!

I bought raspberry and caramel too but haven't tried them yet. Have u tried raspberry? If do is it any good?

I get those too...and yes, raspberry is good. The lemon & the raspberry are my favorite. It's like eating starburst 3 times a day! :)

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
