New to the group



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm totally new to this group. Saw my Doc klingman at the University of maryland Baltimore for the first time. Is anyone familiar with him ?. I'm just starting my nutrition class. Right now I'm trying to take the Vitamin and eat right as well as keeping track of what I eat. I'm so open to any advice I could benefit from. Thanx

How is the food tracking and diet working out for you? It gets easier. What are your stats?

I feel like the Vitamins am taking is making me eat even more. But today was the first day I'm trying to put my foot down to break that habits. I bought one at GNC and it makes me nauseous and i switch to ONE A DAY WOMEN, which makes me get hungry.

I was told not to take any women's Vitamins try Centrum .. They have been working for me for the past seven months ..

Do you have a goal weight? When is your surgery date?

Oh okay. Yea my Nutrition class I had told me what type of Vitamins to get.. No Gummy or women's.. Not enough nutritional value and to much sugar. Centrum 50+ is what I use. I used to use the chewable ones but ugh those were nasty. I take Calcium B12 and B1. I didn't start til after surgery. My pre op diet was a little hard but I managed because if they saw a gain.. You wouldn't qualify for the surgery.

Yea that's usually how it goes everyone's insurance is different though. I didn't have to lose a lot but when you gain it's showing them you can't stick to the lifestyle change WLS requires

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
