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

      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? 🤷‍♀️
