So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

July 12th will be here before you know it. then the surgery date...seems like it all takes forever then BAM it's over and your losing weight.

Read all you can...the more you inform yourself the more you'll be prepared for what is ahead.

My surgery (RNY) was may 24th, I was 224 highest weight at 5' 5"....at surgery, I was 207 and this morning I was at 180lbs!

Are you guys taking a bariatric Vitamin? Those have B12 in them. Since my surgeon is at a center of excellence they only let us take the bariatric vitamin. You can find the B12 in a gummy form I believe.

I take Superior Source B-12/B 6 & Folic Acid... it's a very teeny tiny dissolvable pill you put under your tongue.

So I weighed myself today, and I have lost 38 lbs from my highest weight in 7 weeks 5 days. I did a face comparison, and I'm really starting to see a difference. I was 283.8 at my HW and 245.8 today.

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

I'm sorry to hear you're still getting sick. You have lost a lot of weight but like you said, it's hard to enjoy it if you're always feeling bad. I hope they get it figured out for you.

I take Celebrate with Iron and La Vita.

I decided to go with the patch. . They have it here. . 30 day supply for 20 bucks. .. I rather have that than nothing at all. .

I am loving the patch. I really feel like I have more energy since taking it. I am not sleepy during the day like I used to be. I even took my kids 3 hours away to camp yesterday and didn't fall asleep in the car. That is very rare for me!

I feel like I'm really cheating when I have one of these. OMGOODNESS they are deliousious
