I still have nectar and vitamins. Message me individually if you want them.

If I can figure out how to!

Yes. Sitting in my entry hall. Want it???

Sure. Send me your address. I'm dying to get it off my kitchen counter! My advice, try it before hand. Most people love the nectar, but I could not stand it!

If you live in the Dallas Ft Worth area and are willing to pick this stuff up in North Oak Cliff, I have a bag full of goodies that I couldn't use. It includes 2 Tubs of nectar Protein (one has 1 serving missing), 2 bottles of the Bariatric Advantage Vitamin crystals (I might have used 2 servings out of one bottle); some Bariatric Advantage chocolate Protein Bars, A few single serving Bariatric Advantage shakes, a chewable multi vitamin, and a few other odds and ends that I was supposed to use post op, but couldn't. I hate to just throw the stuff out, so I am hoping someone can use it! Message me.

I have 2 tubs of Nectar (1 open with 1 serving gone), some bariatric advantage vitamin crystals, some bariatric advantage chocolate protein bars and a few other random items to give if someone is willing to come and pick them up in North Oak Cliff. Nectar was supposed to be the basis of my first 3 weeks post op, but as it turns out, it was not for me Same with the BA vitamin crystals. Anybody interested?

Anyone need Nectar and/or bariatric advantage vitamins crystals or know someone in DFW who does? I have 2 tubs of nectar and 3 tubs of zbA vitamins to give if Someone will come and get them . I am right off of i30 in Oak Cliff.

Anybody using a heart rate monitor that they're really impressed with? I had a Polar 15 years ago (the last tine I seriously exercized) that was pretty good but I'm guessing things may have changed since then.

I just hit 4 weeks yesterday, and today is the first day I'd say that I feel like my old self again - energy wise . The weakness and general sick feeling at first really did make me wonder if I'd lostmy mind doing this. I mean being thin will be great and all (if I don't turn out to be the only person in the history of the world who does this and does not lose weight) but, contrary to some opinions, I do not believe it is the end all be all of the world. Ill be honest. . . If we're talking forever, Id take fat and feeling human over thin and the way I felt the first month after this surgery. But, like I said, I suddenly woke up this morning feeling human again. Now, if I could just lose some weight!

If you're slow, maybe I should give up. I had mine on the 7th and I've only lost 14 lbs since then. Been stalled for more than 2 weeks. Trying to stay positive

Don't worry. I was the same way. . . only I was taking phenagren and zofran and even turning on the TV made me throw up. The spirometer. . . forget about it! I could not speak, move or think, much less drink without vomiting. . . well actually, dry heaving, because I was beyond empty. My doctor told me that 2-5% of people react that way and that it is mostly due to the anesthesia. I spent 2 nights in the hospital (my surgery was on a Tuesday too) and finally went home late Thursday afternoon. Even then, it took me a couple more days for the nausea to subside. Subside, however, it did. Yours will too. Hang in there.

Would you mind posting a couple of days worth of your food diary? I am 3 weeks out, just started soft foods today, and already stuck in a stall. Seeing something specific to work towards would be a help.

I'll be honest. . . I hate driving past Sonic and knowing I can never again order my Large Diet Dr. Pepper with extra ice and a straw. It was my drug of choice for years, and on a stressful day like today, I sure wish I had one!

I am in the same boat. I'm three weeks out tomorrow. I lost 15 pounds pre-op, another 10 in the first week and a half, and I've been gaining and losing the next 3 ever since. I haven't even moved on from strained liquids yet- not til tomorrow, so I know it's not over eating. I struggle with the Protein (mixed without ice or anything - too thick per Dr. - I can barely tolerated any I've tried). I'm about to think I'm going to be that 1% who never loses more than 20-25 lbs no matter what they do!

I have lived with a generalized anxiety disorder my whole life. I treat it with a low dose of Zoloft. Of course, one of my primary triggers has always been medical issues. It was a clear indication to me and my family how serious I was about weight loss that I was willing to even consider surgery. Ill be honest. Pre-op my anxiety was pretty bad. Same while I was in the hospital. But since I've been home (I'm 2 weeks out today) I really have not had any issues.
