I had sleeve Monday too. I didn't walk as much as I wanted at hospital. Felt terrible and had nausea nonstop. I was glad to go home and have been feeling better each day. I'm definitely more comfortable at home and move around more. Still having gas pains but they seem different now.

I bought one and have been using it for a month. I like it but I have not had my blood work done yet.... so I cant tell you how well the vitamins are working 5' 5" HW: 259 CW: 235 GOAL: Healthy and hard 140-ish?

I just ordered mine a couple of days ago and had the same question so I emailed the company. This is their response, "Our formulas were based off of the nutrition guidelines from the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons. Liquid vitamins do have a better absorption rate than pills and with Tespo you are getting them mixed fresh daily with no fillers, binders, etc. We have many customers mention how good their bloodwork has been since taking Tespo vitamins. We would recommend that you discuss your concerns with your physician, so you can be monitored to ensure you are getting what you need. Thank you and have a nice day!

Cramps where? Stomach? Legs, muscles? You absolutely HAVE to push the fluids, or you will get dehydrated quickly and end up in the hospital with an IV. Carry a bottle of whatever you can tolerate with you everywhere.

I'm in chesapeake! Let me know if you ladies ever want to meet up! My date is 12/11 with Dr. Adams from non secour Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app

I did NOT like the way Kate was portrayed the first season. It felt like her storyline was to be fat and maybe a little grief, but nothing more. I'm liking her much more this season. Hate her boyfriend though, hate the story of their courtship, and don't think they have any chemistry at all. Aside from that, though, I love the show! Randall and his wife are the best TV couple ever. Adorable, totally believable chemistry, they play off one another seamlessly.

So I added up your calories being as conservative as possible and you are above your maintenance level. If you aren't working out to remove the overage.... you will gain. Maybe you should go back to documenting everything for a week or two to see where you are really at. If you need to.... adjust accordingly. At your current rate (without exercise) you will put on 1 pound every week and a half. Im guessing you are exercising. So as long as you burn 2100 calories (ish) a week you are in great shape.

It was something made up on the Internet to sell products/services. People falsely claim that going back to consuming liquids only for 5 days will shrink your pouch, which is medically impossible.

I love that show, but I rather watch it recorded.. is to much drama about how the father died.. I guess they will keep us like that till the last season of that show...

You have always been worth dating. I hope you never forget that. Has this guy told you he has an issue with your weight or is that your perception? Some people are genuinely afraid of dating bigger folks (both guys and gals, it goes both ways) or being labeled a "chubby chaser". Society makes us feel like a fetish. I met my thin, fit partner on a video game when I was 225lbs. We fell for each other before we exchanged pictures and once we finally did, I sent him the "myspace" angles, nipped and tucked a little in photoshop, and hoped when we met he could see past the real, fat me and like me for who he thought I was. I got sick of keeping up the photographical lie and one day sent him a full body photo and said "this is who I am - take me or leave me". 24 hours later he made a 600-mile trip to meet me in person, moved in 8 months later, and we've been together for a total 5 years. He watched me struggle with an eating addiction that stemmed from my childhood and lose 30lbs, only to put on 100lbs. He's exercised beside me and did crazy diets with me when I felt like thinness was my only way to happiness, and encouraged me to seek therapy to get my mother's aggressive, hateful words out of my head. He attended VSG orientation, held my hand for hours in the hospital bed before surgery, and slept 2 nights beside me in a crappy hospital chair while I recovered. My point is that there is someone who is thrilled to date you at all stages in your life. The good, bad, fat, thin, poor, wealthy, sick, healthy...and those who think you look amazing when you can't even look in a mirror. There are also those who will threaten to leave when you no longer fit their idea of what someone should look like. Spend your energy on the ones that make you feel good now and forever, not ones who hold stipulations.
