I use the Centrum chewable multivitamin. I take an iron pill, it's tiny. My calcium and D are gummy. And I use the liquid B12 drops under the tongue.

kristlynngirl replied to MizAlii's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'll echo everyone else. Slippers Phone + Charger iPad or tablet if you read or play games Face wash Chapstick Toothbrush (the hospital ones are lame) Change of clothes Pillow Deodorant Flip flips I have short hair so I used a headband to keep it in check I was in the hospital 3 nights. Would have been 2 but I had some vomiting and they wanted to keep an extra eye on me. -

Sundays is always dinner with the family. Had a few ounces if London Broil off the grill that was marinated in the Jack Daniels bags they sell (excellent btw!). Also had a few bites of salad and baked breaded zucchini. -
I know that 35-40 pounds in two months time is nothing to sneeze at. But I feel I'm so far behind everyone else. I downloaded this "Get To Goal" app that plots your weight loss next to averages in a graph and it keeps telling me to "Keep Working" because I'm way below the average.

I can eat 8 shrimps at once. I swear I'm broken. -
Exactly. I've dropped a size. That's it. I don't know where I lost all the weight from.
-
Yup. I have pants for work that haven't fit in years' date=' and even with losing so much weight, I can still hardly button them. Preop I was a 22/24 and I can fit in a 20 now. But they're huge. And an 18 is still impossibly small.

Today marked 9 weeks out for me. Down 39 lbs but not even two pants sizes. Makes me wonder where I lost the weight from. It's like I'm failing at this too. Everyone else gets to break up with Lane Bryant and Avenue. I feel like I'm stuck forever.

Knock on wood I haven't dumped either. And I've definitely eaten things I probably shouldn't have. Lucky I guess? Still not going to press my luck tho!
-
thanks. I unfortunately can't leave. #1 I'm out of sick time used it all for my second surgery and #2 I have mandatory OT til 7am.

Anyone have days you just don't feel right? All afternoon I've just felt off. First I thought I felt hypoglycemic so I ate. Didn't help. Just feel like my head is foggy and disconnected. And of course I got mandated to work an extra shift after mine at work, so I've got about 12 1/4 hours to go.

How about some NSVs!?!?

My parents have a big arm chair and a small dog. He likes to sit next to whoever is sitting in the chair. Finally, both me and the dog can fit in the chair. -
I concentrate on protein at meals but try to get in veg and fruit as snacks. Or, I add protein to my veggies - now that I can eat salad I'll put 2-3 oz of meat on a half a cup of salad veg! You'd be surprised how much salad you can eat. My NUT explained it like what happens to spinach when you cook it! Shrinks down to no volume.

Just meal prepped for my week at work! Hard boiled eggs, cucumber and onions in vinegar, chopped sweet peppers and pita chips with hummus, baked chicken breast, and a medium steak! Pairing these things with salad or fruit plus some Greek yogurt each day and I should be well on my way to my protein goals. -

I've been lucky and have been able to eat chicken from the get go. Now, anything carb-y on the other hand, forget it. More than a small tortilla and I feel like I ate a brick. -

Nothing I have tried to eat today has tasted good. It's only around 5 and I work until 3am. All I have left is two meatballs and some yogurt. Made a protein shake but it got warm before I could finish it. Blah. -
