Long term

[MrsSugarbabe 727]

I suck at taking my Vitamins. My D is low. I need to get my prescription this weekend. Today, I am having carb withdrawal from this 5 Day Pouch Test. Lol But, I am not at all hungry. I even passed on my favorite cake at a work party. They do not know I am sleeved. They know that working out is part of my lifestyle.

When I first started taking Vitamin D3, it was because I was diagnosed as D deficient, which a lot of diabetics are. I take an over the counter D3 as recommended by my primary care doc. He said the most important thing to look for in a Vitamin D supplement is to make sure it is cholecalciferol (D3). My dose is 4,000 mg./day, anything less than that and I easily become deficient again.

I concur with @@JamieLogical in that you need to make taking your supplements part of your daily routine. The supplements recommended by your surgeon are essential to your life for a reason.

My surgeon never told me to take Vitamins. I did read about them in the information that came from my dietitian pre-op. I moved out of state 1 1/2 years later. Although, his office never called after my first post-op appointment. My surgery went great. I had to take it from that point. Maybe because it was just before the holidays.

Your surgeon never told you to take Vitamins? That's insane! Mine had me on Calcium +d3, probiotic, Vitamin B12, and a bariatric Multivitamin since i was 7 days post-op and allowed to swallow pills.< /p>

That's great news! Hopefully it was the "reset" you needed and you can stick to the plan moving forward.

For me it is a mental reset. No matter what life events occur, I have to remembered my goals and keep moving forward. I am important. It is okay to be a "small person." That term was driving me crazy. Now, I am ready to hear it again for life. Let us all get to our weight loss goals and beyond. Thanks! ????

Good morning everyone, I'm going to stock up on my fluids (protein shakes/soups/broths) so I can start my 5 day pouch test next week

[Mrs.ChangingTX 51]

The scale is still moving down 5 more pounds this week! Going forward feels so good. Happy to be at a better point in this journey!

The scale is moving down. My enourance is growing. I am going forward each day toward better health. It is a slow process. I am worth the time! I have 39 pounds until goal. My workout starting at 5:15 p.m cst (5 days a week).

Hay long-term people heading towards goal, how is your progress this month?
