I just had my surgery on the 10th and I feel so full under my ribs when I drink, is this normal or gas? I hope we March peeps and other veterans can support each other. This app is a Godsend!

I do a centrum chewable and 4 calcium chewables daily. Also a b12 shot every 10-14 days

that's quite a bit Lilly..do you give yourself the shots?

My husband does. That's the recommended amount of vitamins from my doctor. The calcium is a wafer especially made for bariatric patients.

I looked back over my notes and that's what they told us we would have to take for nutrients, guess my dr. Had other plans. I like only having to take 1 pill a day.

Okay I got of this today and I must say it's really good

Thanks, gonna pick some up soon

Went out to eat at Applebee's had the chicken freshcado. So yummy and sat well! Def recommend!

I wish I could have cereal. I was told I shouldn't eat it

It is hard not to judge yourself here. My weight loss is less than most everyone else's. Mine is slower. I know it could be my PCOS, the fact that I did not get put on a pre-op diet, my metabolism, age, etc but I am only at 39 pounds and everyone is higher. I am thrilled with where I am and where I am going but I just wanted to vent...seems I am the turtle not the hare.

Its hard not to judge yourself anywhere!! I weigh myself every Monday, I'm 11 weeks post op, and have only lost 47.6 pounds since surgery. I really thought I would be much father after almost 3 months. I feel frustrated. I'm starting to wonder if my medications for my bipolar have anything to do with slowing me down. I was never looking for a quick fix, I just want to make sure I'm doing all the right things. Plus, I don't feel like 750 calories is enough for me. Seems like I'm hungry, even following all the protocols for eating. I'm drinking only water, not eating out, eating slowly and solid foods, exercising, I mean what more do I need to do???

I'm right there with you sparkling beauty!

Only 39!? Only 47!? Come on really....

I'm not sure what you mean by that? I have lost a total of 78lbs, but since my surgery I have only lost 47. I thought I would have lost a lot more. I'm following the doctors orders. Not sure what else I can do.

I mean those are fantastic losses! I think some of us forget how hard it was and how much slower it was losing weight pre op. How many other times in your life have you lost 20lbs in a month and kept it off? Celebrate your success you are doing wonderful.
