An accurate kitchen scale. I had one I had been using for months and the day before surgery it started acting wonky. Just needed a new battery but it hadn't been on my radar and I had to send my hubs on a battery hunt the day after I got home. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi there, I bought a big supply of BariMelts and don’t love them. I know a lot of other people do, so if you would like these I’ll sell them to you below retail value. I already sold the calcium to someone — they paid me over Venmo and I shipped them the pills. All remaining vitamins are unopened. Here’s what I have: 1 bottle of Biotin (retails for $14.99.) 5 bottles or iron + vitamin C (retails for $19.99.) 1 bottle of b12 plus (retails for $19.99.) 1 bottle of B1 (retails for $14.99.) 5 bottles of multivitamin (retails for $22.99.) Message me if interested and we can work out the logistics. Thanks!

Thank you ! I am sure I will need some help along the way.

If you use the search tool you will see is a very popular subject! Endless threads are created about it and there are countless tips recorded by hundreds of posters. It a great resource! 💜 Congratulations on your safe surgery 💜

Gatorade zero and Vitamin water zero. Regular water didn’t taste right to me for several months.

This is a great question. I look forward to hearing some answers. I was thinking I will have some bone broth. Did anyone have their spouse/relative make some stock for them?

Thank you :-) So empathise! Had another one I didn’t give in to the previous week. Drove myself to central Newcastle for a specialist appointment. Wasn’t without tension finding it, parking and getting done what I had to get done and really felt I deserved a ‘reward’. In my consultancy road warrior days used to regularly treat stuff picked up from service stations as somehow lesser calories cos I didn’t have much choice of places to grab food. So nearly swung into the McDonald’s that day, but pictured the nutrition charts and swigged down the drink instead. Starting to trust myself more :-)

nice that you are really starting to see the impact and acknowledge it! looking great

Hi there...You are under a lot of stress and my heart goes out to you, my one and only son had medical issues as well growing up which entailed a lot of ICU stays in many hospitals, some close to home and some far away from home, so I can relate just a little because your load is much larger. This is just a thought because I am totally not in your shoes honey but you know when we get on airplanes and they go over the drill and tell us if an emergency happens, even if we have kids we are to put on our oxygen mask first before securing it on our kids because if we cannot take care of ourselves first then we are no good to our children...so try your best to take a little time for yourself and regroup, prepare some healthy snacks and make food that you can get to quick and not make the worst choices, you went through a lot to have surgery and you deserve to be healthy and feel good too. Make a meatloaf, bake some chicken, (food that you can get to quick and heat in the microwave) buy protein bars, pre-made protein shakes etc. that you can just throw in your purse when on the go taking your daughter to the hospital...I know it's hard but take care of you so you can give the best care to your children. Our children mean the world to us and we would rather endure their pain if we could switch places, but mommy please take care of you first (it may sound selfish, but it's really not) so that you can have the strength to care for your babies. I think you did the right thing my reaching out on the site because we get you and understand...if you mess up and eat something bad it's ok, we are all imperfect humans and you are aware of it so you are to be commended considering what you are going through. You will get a lot of good advice here Take care of you and your kids and we are here for you ((Hugs))

Weight loss seems to be such a controversial subject. People are overly opinionated. I'm not and I don't want to be the spokesman for bariatrics. I don't feel the need to educate anyone on WLS. They can do their own research. Don't invest time in negative people. Keep life simple.
