Make sure you can take the capsules. I picked up some Iron capsules and when I went in for my follow up my doc said they are not good to take because you don't absorb them. I had chewable multi's but thought the capsule would be fine. Wound up switching to chewable iron pills.

The whole Vitamin subject has gotten so confusing. I just want one that doesn’t make me puke.

I was told by my team that the gummy vitamins are ok. I didn't have bananas on my grocery list, but my NP told me to get some. It has potassium and help me with my sugars.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
