I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

@@60&goin4it thank you for the recipe. I was actually looking for a different one. Also do you have a smaller version? I am the only one in my house that eats chili and I think that recipe would be too much. My parents are coming up today and I think I will get them to make me some chili and freeze some and let them take the rest home. I may get them to make some egg salad and vegetable soup without corn. I would like to try that Ricotta Bake as well.

@@s0rda I went back over all the posts and I saw where you posted something about Bariatric Advantage Vitamins 250 and 500. The flavors interested me but I could not figure out what 250 and 500 meant. I went to the Bariatric Advantage website and could not figure it out there either. Can you provide a link to the Bariatric Advantage website for these products? Thanks.

@@edie091371 Hope hubby is still doing great! Did I see where you posted that your son had a Nutrionist appointment? Does that mean he is thinking about Bariatric surgery as well?

I have noticed a new symptom in the last few days. I now have a tremor in my fingers. My son came to visit last night and he wanted to watch me play a game on the computer. I started playing and I have to hold keys down for a while at times. While holding the keys down the tremors got much much worse where I almost couldn't play. I will bring this up to the doctor Tuesday but I have to say this scares me.

It has been almost 6 weeks since my initial surgery and I toss and turn all night long. If I get on my side, either side, my internal parts still bother me or my stomach starts feeling queasy.

@@395Ron sorry I don't have a smaller version, but I seem to be able to tolerate my regular homemade chili with just leaner meat. Your mom & dad or wife may have one that would work fine! Chili & the ricotta bake is what I eat a lot of. I always freeze my leftover chili since it freezes so well. I even freeze my leftover marinara sauce for the ricotta bake since there will be extra. If you have any small containers you could put a bunch of 1or 2 serving in the freezer that would thaw quickly!!

Your weight loss is great!!! How is your energy level? I wonder if the tremor is just fatigue & from everything you have been through! My son-in- law was in a bad motorcycle accident in Arlington Texas 1 1/2 years ago. Had to airvac him to hospital where he aspirated into his lungs & head trauma. Was there for 6 weeks then physical therapy for 2. Doing great now!!! Prayers are answered & we are all praying that you will come back from this set back stronger & healthier than before!! Sending you & your wife hugs & remember as you always said "You got this"!!!!

@ I bet when things get moving it will go down! lol not literally but the weight! I try to take miralax with my Water every other day, have you tried it?

I am taking benefiber. I just started regularly so we shall see if it helps. I have been going but it is never enough and difficult. I know TMI. This process is interesting. I just keep thinking hopefully I feel almost like myself soon. I go back to work tomorrow. I must admit I am not looking forward to it. I ans still dealing with pain if I bend down or stretch. Also when I am tired I feel it more.

@ I started feeling more like myself at 4 weeks. Best of luck going back to work, I know its no fun when you don't feel like it!

That's good news! Thank you. I know it gets better with each passing day. I guess you see some people just rebound like they never had surgery lol. I am not in that boat. I had a long day yesterday and so much wAlking I was wiped out! Come on week 4! I guess getting back into a routine is not a bad thing. Getting up at 4 AM is gonna be tough!!!

Hello Ron as far as the vitamins go there are 2 versions you can buy one has 250mg and you have to eat 2 chews which look like starbursts and have my 2 favorite flavors raspberry and lemon. The 500mg you only take once a day I think the best flavor for those is the orange. I will look for the online information and post it. I hope this clears up a little of the confusion that is me lol

250 and 500 refers to mg of Calcium. I take these and they are super yummy. I also like the Bariatric Advantage advanced multi EA. They are chewable.

So glad that you're better!

I posted a screenshot of Bariatric Advantage's order form I hope that helps @@395Ron

I take their Vitamins I enjoy the calcium chews and I have the multi Vitamin in pill form the only downside for me is on an empty stomach they make me nauseous. I've tried the chewable multi vitamin from them it was chalky but I didn't get nauseous.

I still haven't gotten sick or anything. Sugar doesn't bother me. .neither does alcohol sugar. Will be careful though still avoiding sugary foods so it doesn't effect my weight loss.

I was approved for Insure Nutrition shakes through insurance. .then found out they scam insurance companies by charging $5000 a month for Protein Shakes and supplements. Before my order was processed I called them to cancel it. They said ok it's canceled. .then the next day I checked my insurance and saw they processed it even though they said they canceled it. Insure Nutrition is a scam.
