I buy my vitamins from celebrate vitamins. It's a kit. For 3 months of all the vitamins I need is like $140. I have chewable multi vitamins which also have the B vitamins. A calcium plus D supplement (start 6 weeks post op) and a B complex I take twice a week. At 1 week post op my surgeon gave me the clear to swallow my pills.

Seriously you are all so brave. I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow and my diet still consists of soft foods. No meats. I had half of a piece of fish yucky and I ran to bathroom to almost puke. To ight was an oz of shrimp and cottage cheese. I was meatballs and sauce and turkey and lunch meat. I'm so scared!!!

I started eating avocados for the good fat (trying to keep some fat for gallbladder) but its high in calories and I add banana to my protein shakes which increases the calories as well. My protein shake might take me 2 hrs to drink but its also 400 calories! And like 51g of protein.

I am 3 weeks and a few days post op. I just started making my protein shakes in my bullet. The frothy makes it even better to me!!! It's creamy like a milkshake. Mmmm I've only used it to purée canned soups, but the texture of that didn't go over well with me. So I use it for protein drinks.

Walked 2 miles in 44 mins!!

I walked 1 mile at 3 days post op. my surgeon gave no restrictions. Even said I had no weight lift limit. At 2.5 weeks post op I started Zumba! Yup fat me does 15 mins of Zumba. Woohoo!! See how you feel too.

I want to wear bangles. My hands are to fat to fit through a braclet that doesn't have a hook, even elastic doesn't work. I can't wait to loose the point of my belly above the Belly button.

Tried refried beans, yuck. Texture didn't work for me. I want a chili recipe! Chili is about the only food I eat all day long!

Same here. Infact I posted last night askin the exact same thing! I feel hungry a tiny bit late afternoon. But I never feel full. I watch very closely how much I eat at a time. But I'm truly not Full. I was reminded the nerves in our pouch are not awake for several weeks.

I smell!!!!! I'm not constipated. My armpits smell like ass! And under the belly fat roll smells! Nothing helps!!!!

Help. I am 2 weeks and 2 days post op and I'm eating about 600 calories a day. Meetin water and protein requirements. Walking a mile or 2 daily and I have never felt really full. I ate 1/2 cup of chili tonight no problems at all. Help.

Thank you. I totally forgot about that!!!!!

My surgeon said I could do whatever I wanted too at home. I was doing dishes and cooking and shopping 3 days post op. do something small.

Hell I miss slurping the bowl!

Tonight is my 1st soft food since surgery. I measured out 1/3 cup fat free turkey chili and 2tbs mozzarella cheese. Not even close to finishing it. It's so nice to chew food and not drink broth!!!

I wasn't worried about the pain, the puking, anything. I was ready for it all. I was terrified of leaving my daughter at my dads the day of surgery and never seeing her again. I was terrified! It's normal I think. I woke up from surgery and I fought my ass off to get home to her as soon as possible (less than 24hrs after surgery I was home). I'm 2 weeks post op today and have had a seriously smooth ride. I've lost 21lbs since surgery almost 18in over all. And I was out and about slowly but out with my daughter the day after I came home. I hope this find you coming up for surgery a little less overwhelmed and frightened.

Mine said no for life.

My drive home was over 2 hours. It was absolutely miserable!!! I was in so much pain by the time I got home. How are you? Did u go all the way home???

Omg I love that one!

I needed to loose 220 lbs. 10 days post op now plus my pre surgery loss I have lost 48.9 lbs. motivation is easy still. I just can't wait till my body physically lets me walk all I want! I weigh myself daily and record it. I take weekly measurements and record it. I want to remember what I will never go back too.

I've read this thread a lot so here. Is my wish list: - sit on the floor with my daughter and play instead of her saying, daddy and I will play on the floor you sit on the bed mommy. - ride on a roller coaster with my daughter. 2 amusement parks and never a ride with her. - wear jeans (haven't worn jeans in almost 3 years) - care about myself and how I look. I always wear sweats and slippers bc I'm so fat I just don't care. - run a mile - do a marathon - teach my daughter proper eatin habits. - shop in a normal store!! - share clothes with someone, anyone! Not to mention everything everyone else said too!!

Sometimes I can't tell if its me or my dog. The belly is loud!!!!

Cheese broccoli soup. Day dreaming of steak and rice.

Slippers you can just slip on when you want to walk or pee. Life saver for me! And Chapstick. Omg u are without water the entire day of surgery and into the next!! I wasn't given a toothbrush, but asked for. Bring a small small bag. Where clothes there u will come home in and pay attention to ur waste band. Phone charger and I brought extension cord bc my iPhone cord is so damn short. And panties. I saw 3 panties. Don't worry about anything else. U won't care.
