I take the bariatric advantage calcium citrate chewables and I take 6 a day! Honestly to me they don't taste that bad they're like sweet tarts. I use the generic cvs spectravite chewable multivitamin it's not horrible. And some generic b12 which is cherry flavored. I think the worst is the omeprazole tho. I crush that into applesauce and just the thought of it makes it hard to get down. I looked into gummy vites but they don't have the required amount of nutrients plus they add unwanted carbs.

I had this same problem before. Natural peanut butter is great if u can get down 1 tablespoon it's about 105 calories. V8 is a good option as well I just watered mine down and drank it throughout the day. It all gets easier with time.

You look amazing! Congrats

I only had pain the first week (it hurt getting up and down mainly) after that it was mainly just lack of energy.

I had my surgery during my week long spring break, I took 2 weeks off work though. I dont regret having it but it did definitely affect my ability to concentrate in school. I can tell my work ethic went way down, in the beginning I was just way tired all the time now its getting a little better to where I have more energy to walk around campus and up and down the stairs comfortably. Good luck!

Congrats thats amazing! I cant wait to be on that side of the fence with you.

Lol yeah I will probably be set for a while but I like having variety, I hate the thought of forcing myself to eat the same things everyday I would go insane.

I just did my mushy/soft food shopping last night, here are some things I purchased Soy milk Almond Milk yogurt tons of cheese to melt on things and also the laughing cows to eat, and mozarella sticks refried Beans clam chowder creamy low fat Soups corned beef hash salmon fillets crab meat canned tuna/chicken sauce/broth mixes sugar free popsicles Protein powder fat free cream cheese/ricotta cheese/ cottage cheese all natural Peanut Butter ready to heat chicken patties sugar free pudding egg white beaters low calorie gatorades This is def a lot of stuff, granted I only got like 1 of each, it will probably last me at least 2 weeks if not more.

I was a coffee addict before surgery but since I've had my sleeve I don't crave it anymore at all, I have trouble getting the water I need in so I dont even have room for it.

i just started with the weights and toning and I've noticed my muscles are extremely sore, Im still feeling my leg workout from last week. I take in about 80-90 g of protein a day so I doubt its from protein deficiency.

I'm 24 and so far I've lost 60 lbs. about 25 since my surgery 3-1. I've been doing toning and moisturizing my skin with Shea vitamin e and all that but already I can tell like under my arms my skin is a little saggy. It will probably get a little worse with time but I intend to tone the heck out of my body and try and gain lean muscle to make up for it.

I'm one month and I'm constantly freezing! Especially my toes even with sneakers and socks.

If you want to still have the thickness and "milkshake" taste that milk offers but you dont want the calories, sugar, or carbs. Try unsweetened light soy milk, or even almond milk. They are great in shakes.

Im almost a month post op now, Im still in the full liquid/pureed phase. I was wondering if the no water 30 min before or after a meal still applies since technically everything is like liquid anyway. Thanks for replies.

Thanks I will keep this in mind, I need to start listening to my bodies cues

I just had this same thing happen to me today and basically the trainer made me feel like crap, saying things like your 24 and you cant even do such and such but w/e. Im a broke college student and I cant afford those rates anyway so jokes on him lol. Where are plans that you can get for free?

Thanx so much for clarifying. Im also going to check out your blog =p

I had a stall the second week as well and I came out of it like 3 weeks later, our bodies are probably just trying to get used to the new changes
