Confused About How To Take Calcium
Meli01 replied to PEvette's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Just don't take them at the same time you are taking your iron. I usually take all my pills in the morning and calcium chews at night. -
I started sleeping on my stomach again about 2 weeks after surgery.

I couldn't eat chicken at all until the last few weeks and I am almost 4 months out. Even a small bite would make me feel overly full and in pain.

No regrets at all, having this surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. You are not supposed to drink alcohol, I think that it is partially because of all the calories in most drinks. On a few occassions i have had a vodka with sugar free cranberry juice, but can't drink very much of it without getting tipsy.

My only regret is that I didn't have this surgery sooner. I didn't have any complications at all. I had to take small sips the first week out of surgery, but now I can drink water just like I used to. I feel better and have more energy than I have had in years.

Different Hair Loss Question (I Hope)
Meli01 replied to mkardh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am only 3 months out, but so far I haven't noticed my hair falling out more than normal. Since the beginning I have been taking Be-beautiful hair skin nail chews from GNC, and my hair seems to be healthier than ever. -

My last meal was at a Japanese steakhouse, it was amazing. I'm 3 months out and still eat at In N Out every once in awhile. The protein style cheeseburger is great, I can eat about half of it and the calories aren't bad at all.

I have been having lower back pain for over a month. My doctor has run a bunch of tests and found nothing wrong. Just like you my doctor said it is probably my body adjusting to the weight loss.
-
I took 4 weeks, and I have a pretty physical job. If your job requires you to be able to lift anything you might want to take more than 2 weeks. I couldn't have lifted anything or been on my feet for a significant amount of time until about 3.5 weeks out.

I'm actually hoping my breasts get a bit smaller, but so far they are the only place I haven't lost weight from. Right now I'm a DD and would prefer to be a C or D. I'm pretty close to goal, so I don't have a lot of faith that they are going to get any smaller.

Congratulations!

What a great NSV!!

I saw this flavor at the store today and wondered if it was any good. I will have to try it!

Started My Preop Diet Today Given To Me By My Doctor
Meli01 replied to Looking Ahead's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used visalus shakes during my pre-op diet. They are really good, and actually taste like cake batter. To give my shakes flavor I used sugar free torani syrup. The peach and raspberry are both realllly good! -

What Was Your First?
Meli01 replied to Back~To~Amy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had refried beans with a little cheese and salsa. I had been on liquids for almost a month at that point, including pre-op diet, and I swore the beans were the best thing I had ever tasted. -
