I finally made the thread for those of us who are scheduled for May 15th. It'll be fun to hear how all of us are doing during our journeys. Feel free to share!

There are many of us on pre-ops now and some have a few days. Just about a week left!!! How awesome and exciting it is! ?

Dont forget to FOLLOW the thread!

So I switched vitamins again. I still have a good few weeks left of the bariatric advantage pills. They're starting to make me feel very very nauseous. I bought a liquid vitamin this time. It doesn't taste too bad and seems to be fine for now. It seems as if the longer I am out, the less I am able to tolerate the vitamins. I've had to switch a few times. I'm almost ready to just go to a gummy. The only thing that's different with a sleeve is that the stomach is smaller. So, I don't know why we have to have such a huge amount of vitamins. I eat a pretty good variety of plants, so I'm not worried of nutrition. Maybe earlier on when we couldn't eat much of anything I suppose. I'm wondering if I'm getting too much vitamins????

Ugh...nevermind. Feeling oh so sick even with the liquid vitamins this morning! When will it ever stop? YUCK.

Believe it or not I switched to Flintstones complete chewable. I take 3 per day and I don't get nauseous. They are inexpensive and the best part I can handle them. I tried to switch to a pill form, but I kept chocking on it and they were awful ?

I'm going to have to follow suit then. These vitamins are expensive and it's really expensive not using them at all.

My dh bought me a present today. I had mentioned to him that I wouldn't mine getting one of these for Christmas. Well he decided to go ahead and surprise me early. I can't wait to try it out.

I will for sure. My dh is a regular foodie, so when ever I ask for a kitchen gadget he usually can't wait for me to have it...lol...

I can't wait to make beans and especially chili. I found a recipe for red lentil chili that I am going to try soon.

Good morning. So, I went to the doc yesterday. I have a viral infection. I was given steroids to take for five days and a nose spray. I almost instantly felt a little better by yesterday evening. Today, I am staying out from work to be sure and will go back tomorrow. I decided that I am not going to just lay around, I feel so gross doing that all the time. So, I cleaned out my kid's room yesterday (like threw away so much stuff-they haven't noticed). I even did all the laundry too. It was peaceful in a quiet house and it was nice. Today, I'm going to go Christmas shopping and try to find something I would like to have for my birthday present. I will do my best to not wear myself out though, cause I woke up at a quarter till 5 this morning. Why? Don't know!!! LOL

I have to get back to the gym. I am feeling a bit jelly these days. After hurting my foot (for which I still haven't gotten x-rayed and it acts up every now and then) and then getting sick, I haven't been working out and I FEEL IT. Ugh. Probably also one of the factors of my weight staying at 200. I can't wait. Weights here I come!

I was just looking at chili recipes myself. I have a weight watchers black bean and beef chili recipe that I've been making for years. It's really low in fats (besides the beef) and I'm going to swap out that beef and replace it with lentils instead to see how it goes. I made a sweet potato chili not too long ago as well...it was sooooo good. I'll have to find the recipe and put it on the WFPB Recipe swap.

I am glad you were given some meds that are helping you to feel better. Being sick is no fun.

We will definitely have to swap chili recipes.

My husband took off work early to spend the day with me. I feel so much better and wanted to enjoy my last day of no working. So we went to the mall and I got my brows threaded. Lol. I always feel much better when they're groomed. Anyway, we walked and talked. Went in many stores. Went in to Victoria's Secret...no secrets there! Lol. Found out that I still do not fit the biggest bra size !!! But my band is significantly smaller, from 40 to 36. Yay!

Then we went in to Express and I fell in love with a jacket. Size Large. (They're sizes tend to run small). It slides on and I can zip it up, but it's pretty fitted. ? my husband says, "buy it and shrink in to it". Lol. I debated and decided to get it. It was $128 and I got it for $56. I can't wait to wear it! Here's a pic: sorry had to crop my beaming smile out, my daughter was in he pic and I try to not share my kids online (unless privately)

Pics can deceive! Lol. So I can wear it, but I feel like I'm wearing a corset. Lol

I couldn't tell. lol

I have some tops in my closet that fit me, but because of my boobs, my stomach shows when I wear them. I know they fit me before I gained weight so I guess my chest has gotten bigger over the years.
