I have my surgery on July 5th and honestly all of a sudden I’m really getting nervous. Can I really accomplish this one every time I try diets noom hypnosis I fail. Trying to understand the Vitamins do I have to take 5 different ones a day or is there one kind that does it all, I’m confusing myself😞

I am in my 60s, and had been battling being overweight or obese for decades. I tried every diet known to man. With some, I'd lose up to 50 lbs (but most of the time, more like 20). It was just a matter of time before it all came back again. Over and over again - for decades. Surgery was the only thing that worked for me.

the Vitamin regimen is overwhelming at first, but it becomes old hat after awhile. I don't even think about it anymore. I'm pretty much on auto-pilot...

I was overwhelmed with the idea of supplements too but thankfully, my nutritionist gave me links to exactly what I need. I will basically take a 500mg Calcium chew three times a day, a chewable Vitamin D three times a day, a Multivitamin chew once a day, and then 1000 mg B12 once per week. I plan to take the 3 times a day ones with my "meals". Then I'll do the calcium and Vitamin d at bed time, and the B12 on Fridays. She really helped make that part of this process much easier. 😋

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
