I absolutely love your post! I also think you are absolutely right!! I hear the compliments, but I don't seem to really be feeling them. It doesn't help that even my small clothes now are getting baggy. A very good problem, but I feel frumpy. The scale is moving, I have not had more than maybe a three day stall. I have yet to dump or vomit, and so far no Hair loss. I keep waiting for the bad stuff to happen, and it just isn't. I should be grateful, but instead it worries me. Go figure!![/quote']

This is a strange journey, so glad I've ft it y'all!

What Calcium supplements is everyone taking. My nut said to take a chewable calcium citrate but I am having a really hard time with the large chalk like pills/wafers. Anyone find a chewable that isn't so bad. She said gummies are out. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> HW 343 SW 326 CW 249 GW 177 (94lbs gone) woohoo

Bariatric Advantage caramel calcium chews with Vitamin D. They're kind of pricy (about $30 for 90) but totally worth not having to chew those chalky things.

I used the same brand in chocolate until I hit 3 months. They taste like tootsie rolls! They are spendy and you need to take four a day, but they were my treat everyday! Bariatric Advantage does offer samples. You might want to contact them and see if you can get a sample pack.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
