Anyone having surgery in November?



Recommended Posts

Hi

Wow...our dates are exactly the same Stephanie! Right now I am researching and trying different supplements. I tried a cherry b-12 sublingual that was super gross. Hoping to find something better. Gonna try Bariatric Advantage berry multi Vitamin chews...I am hoping it tastes like a starburst:)

My date is also November 30th. It seems like there are alot of us with that date!!!! Yay!

I have tried just about every Multivitamin, Calcium citrate, and Vit B12.< /p>

I highly recommend Bariatric fusion mixed berry Multivitamin soft chews. They are fantastic and don't taste like a Vitamin at all. $22.99 for one month supply. 3 chews twice daily.

OR

For cheaper version ONCE a day ProCare chewable Multivitamin (size is not bigger than as aspirin)

$11.99 for one month supply.

These are very popular as there are not many Vitamins out there that you can get away with only taking once, they have been on backorder.

calcium citrate I highly recommend

Bariatric Advantage 500mg in Caramel flavor. Delicious!!! Tastes like a caramel butterscotch. They are a bit pricey though.

Vitamin B12, I highly recommend the Celebrate sublingual quick melt in mint flavor. These taste great, like a sweet mint, and melts super quick. Very reasonable price 15.95 for 3 month supply

I just tried the calcium chews from bariatric advantage and I totally agree the caramel is awesome I also like the raspberry. I just got a variety pack of Bariatric Fusion shake mixes I am trying all the flavors to see which one I would like to go with for my liquid reduction diet! Thanks for the info.

I will try the mint b12...thanks for the suggestion! I am excited for all of us with November surgery dates. Think we should start a Facebook group as others have done for people who share the same surgery month. Being able to message in real time with Facebook might be cool. Anyone interested in this?

Hi, I'm new. I am having surgery on November 19th and I'm scared to death!!! Scared about the surgery and all of the changes. Glad to find this group!

P.S. - my doctor didn't mention a pre-op diet. Anyone else not having to do one?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
