I also had 3 c-sections. I only take pain meds when needed which was about 1 week. Idk if gastric bypass will be the same but looking forward to a speedy recovery. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Everyone is different. Example: you have a headache & can deal with it. If I have one I'm grabbing the advil for migraine. We all heal differently & tolerate pain in a different way. As long as your not over dozing you should be fine.

Good morning, Unfortunely since I have 3 kids & only hubby working. I was only able to order the chewable Iron from Bariatric Advantage. If not for my insurance covering this surgery I wouldn't be able to offord it. Even if it's a dollar at a time I'm trying to save for plastic surgery for after weight lost. The list of Vitamin I will be taking that I bought from costco are as follow. Multivitamin 1 tablet twice a day calcium citrate 1500mg (500mg 3 times a day) sublingual vitamin b12 1 tablet once a day Iron 18mg once daily I don't know if anything else will be added after the actual surgery. Also calcium citrate will be on sale next week again till 6/3/12 so Costco I will see you soon Lolz...

Sorry to hear everything you been threw but it could only get better after surgery.

Welcome & it's a fun group you will love it here.

Have a speedy recovery

Surgery date 5/20/2012 I'm on a strict diet Started diet on 4/30/2012 5 feet 0 Start weight 211 Weight today 201

No advice but hope it goes well. I have surgery in 27 day (May 30, 2012)

Did you get a diet paper or just a conversation about only eating 3 meals per day and staying under 1000

Take it easy & one step at a time. In the long run it will all go in place.

It's a long road ahead of all of us. We can do it. It's true if we dont do the diet then what good would surgery be? We have to get our body used to eating small amounts so it gets easier after surgery. Sorry this is only my opinion. I'm also not having the greatest time with this diet but a have a photo of a really huge woman that I don't want to look like her so it helps me out.

Hoping for the best

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Sending you a BIG hug!! As time passes you will know this was the best decision.

If you need a helper in the future I'm your girl LMFAO I'll run the site.

Thankyou! I have you guys as my new support system. Hubby never been fat so what does he know about weight issues. He is the husband that no one wants except me. Old fashion believes woman job is to cook & clean. Take care of the kids & have sex when a man wants it. Well I dong complain & I lost my job a while ago so I never had a problem cooking or cleaning & i was raise this way so it wasn't new to me. With this being said. I cook 3 full meals per day. I love eating so of course I'm going to gain weight. I started gaining weight after I had my 1st child. I always since teenager ate a lot & never gain over 135lbs. Now I find my self cooking more. Hubby love fried food so pork shoulder with totones(green plantain) at least once a month. You name it I cook it. I gain the weight & hubby stays slim. Then he says he less . How? I can't make meat in sauce he only likes fried. Imagine how will that help me.

That's super cool ms. Skinny Lolz

That's super cool... A couple doing it. This is one if the best post I read so far. You will support each other. I can't wait till I read some more.

I'm doing good so far I keep saying we can do it. (we) talking to my stomach as I'm dipping down slim fast. It's not as easy as it sound. My head hurts & I feel tired.
