Hi JANAAZ , we are in East Mesa, AZ, Greenfield Village RV resort

not far from me, I'm in Fountain Hills

I split my time between Phoenix and Prescott. Where are you?

To Cwang re Bariatirc Vitamins: I also take the Bariatrice Advantage chewable vitamins and they make me nauseous also. I try taking one in the morning and one at night and just suck on them till the dissolve and hasn't been as bad. Good luck.

I only took one this morning and it came back up. Where in Az are u? I'm in Az too.

Hi Jane nice to see you again, How are you doing? I'm losing very slowly only down 20 lbs since surgery on 2-14 I'm frustrated.

Hi Jane nice to see you again. I'm lovng our AZ weather!

I agree, the first thing I picked up yesterday after my 2 week post op appt and being put on purees for 1 week, was Wendy's chili, got to work and ran it in the blender. Still have 2 more meals left in the small size that I got, feel full after a few bits yummmmmmmmmm

you can get the Vitamins and B12 sublingles cheaper at walgreens

Wooohoooo down another 10 lbs on my 2 week post op liquid diet, get to go on purees for 1 week then to soft foods!!! Thats a total of 50 lbs gone since I started. ( I had a 15lb regain before 2 week preop).

Congrats .Am at Dr office for 2 week post op, to get stitches out, my scale show me at 196, will see what theirs say. Got called in for vitals 20 min past my appt time, now waiting 30 min in small exam room getting pretty pissed off

10 lbs on pre op

2 weeks per my dr, but 1.5 weeks for me so I could get to work

I would like to join mtnhomeeee@juno.com

I wish I could have real foods, I am 9 days out on full liquids, then 4 weeks of puree I can't wait

I have an older tanita scale and It's more accurate then my nut's scale.

I'm scheduled for the 28th. I stared my pre op diet on Saturday and I'm really hungry but I know this is going to be worth it. I'm having surgery at St. Luke's in Phoenix.

you will do great, they are really good at St Lukes, I had minimum pain, just walk as soon as you can and as much as you can. Not any gas pain in my chest and they must check for leaks during surgery because they didn't do it before discharge.

I'm allowed yogurt tomorrow. Pretty much I can go back to what I was doing pre surgery, just have to be more diligent about the no chunks what so ever in my Soup and stuff.

It'll be interesting. I tried Jello this am and it was terrible.

I'm loving the stained low fat Soups, I'm on full liquids for another 2 weeks so I can have cream have cream of wheat with ff milk, stained soups, yogurts with no fruits or chunks, so tonight I got some sugar free sherbert yummmmmmm I get 2 Protein Shakes a day too

Hope she feels better soon you too

ahhh the ricotta and marinara sound wonderful can't wait to get to puree stage (2 more weeks) to try it

congrats and best wishes!

congrats!!!

Finally home. Still haven't passes gas or pooped. I'm so damn bloated, it sucks. Lol but hopefully being at home and taking a shower will help. Besides that, I'm doing pretty good.

I just really want the gas or whatever to go away. Like I wish I could bend over or something. I've even had 2 fingers up my butt, and some milk of magnesia. Nothing.

But. I know it'll get better, so I just keep telling myself that over and over.

I know the feeling my belly has been hard as a rock until today when everything let loose, feel much better now.

if you do 2 premeir Protein Shakes a day that gives you 60 grams of Protein for the day

Congrats to ALL of us who have seen the scale finally below 200

whatever happened to the food boards with the pics people would post?

Congrats! I know how you feel I hit onederland (just barely) this mornig at 199.9

I'm 4 days post op, didn't have the side effects of the gas pain thank the Lord because they didn't allow the gas x strips, walked every chance I could. The heating pad is my best friend for the 1 sore incision site. Remember your small pillow I forgot mine so they gave me one.feeling good struggling to get my liquids in but getting close. Lost 10 lbs on the preop now 5 lbs post op only 2 lbs from onederland. Good luck to those with surgeries coming up!

3 days.out only 1 sore incision site, was able to eat a full yogurt and a Protein Shake , still working on getting my Water in it just tastes funny to me right now no matter what I put in it. Sipping, sipping, walking, walking

Day 2 of pre op, pains not bad unless I caught. Just trying to get enough fluids and Protein in, prilosec is working for stomach acids, then the gas x strips. Just trying to rest, drink and walk
