@chell I use Celebrate chewy ones in orange flavor. It’s pretty good but I forget to take my evening pills. I started making sure I did because I don’t want to lose teeth or have any more ailments due to lack of Vitamins.

Mine are chewy orange but I don't remember the brand. That's a pretty strong reason to remember them! I'm going to have to make a point of doing better with getting in that 2nd dose.

Btw, for the pizza lovers, I was in Central market yesterday and saw Prenate Cauliflower pizza crust...! Did not even know that such a thing existed!

Check the ingredients, it's not always all cauliflower crust. Many of them have other starchy flour substitutes.

Does anyone have those charts for expected/average weight loss by starting weight? With different time milestones and weight loss expected (bypass)?

I’ve seen others post them and keep meaning to save it but forgot...would love to have as a reference now that I’m a couple months out!

Is this what you're looking for:

Does anyone have a cool app or sheet that helps them record their body fat? I don’t have a Baritastic code because I had my surgery in Mexico.

I use the Yunmai body scale and app which calculates everything everytime I weigh myself

It’s a code that you use with the Baritastic app that I guess allows you access to track all that information. But you get the code from your surgeon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
