nancy264 replied to nancy264's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
They make me sick to take them, I hate it. They are from diff dr's my reg dr. nurse called me to make an appt bc she hasn't seen me since nov idk why she has to see me anyway I have an appt for the 6th and I called the hosp pharmacist to tlk about all those pills. I pray I don't have to keep taking them all. a lot are for pain but the pain been ok, I take them everyday even if im not in pain bc I guess I have to, that's what the bottle says take everyday 3 times a day Hope to stop them all soon -
why do I still feel this way, I feel sad, confused I come and read the post and pm some of you'll and feel better for that time, and then I start thinking of everything and I feel I don't know anything about the surgery, I have a guide book I read over and over and still feel like I don't know anything, I don't see my nut or my psych until after surgery and im waiting to find out if insurance will pay for it. so I have been buying vitamins, protein power and things like that for the first stage which I think its high protein full liquids after the hosp. i guess for two wks then soft and moist protein and what i had in the first stage. im just not sure i got this right. i have pm some of u and i want to say thanks, it does make me feel better but then the same feeling comes back. wonder why ? i went out and bought vitamins, protein power, boxes of jell o and i have no surgery date, im just waiting to see if the insurance company will pay for it. i just sit here reading all the post and my pms. and just thinking about it all day long and what i have to do or what i cant do. ps. since my psych and nut clear me i been eating more and doing less shakes, i was told to stay the same, don't lose or gain, but i been eating more. now im afraid what if i gain weight by the time they call me in for pre op or what ever they do when the insurance says yes that they will pay for the surgery

Update: email: Hi Nancy, You could probably use almost all of it except for the appetite appeaser and the intestinal cleanser. DHEA is just an Omega 3 fat and the digestive enzymes/probiotics are for intestinal health. Plus, it sounds like you’ll get some Protein shakes out of it! Jill ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- oh wow my daughter brought over the box of Herbalogica she has to help lose weight all that money for nothing bc she didn't do it. now gave them to me so I can use them, what im I going to do with them, I don't think I can take any of them. sending my nut an email. shake 20 gm protein, 10 gm carb, 5 gm Fiber. chocolate 3 bottle of Intestinal cleanser 3 bottle of Appetite appeaser 3 bottle of Fiber Blend 2 bottle of liquid Calcium 3 bottle of Probiotic blend 2 bottle of Body Purifier 2 bottle of Digestive enzyme blend 1 bottle of DHEA 1 bottle of Organic flax seed oil 1 bottle of Vitamin D 1 bottle of Antioxidant 1 bottle of Multivitamin Multimineral 1 bottle of Hormone Balance 2 bottle of Evening primrose oil

nancy264 replied to nancy264's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My nut just emailed me she said this. Hi Nancy, Yes, you could take this supplement if you prefer, and you’re right, you would just need an additional Iron supplement but also extra Vitamin D. You could purchase these Vitamins, take them at two separate times/day and then taken your Iron and extra Vitamin D (2,000 units more) together. Hope this helps… good find! So its still not enough on it own, aarrggg i just want the lest pills the better -

I'm in the dog house and cant find my way out.
nancy264 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
writing whats on my mind, didn't think it over or read it over, its written how I hear myself think. Here I am sitting here feeling sorry for myself, confused, angry and every feeling there is. I know I need to lose weight and know its for me to feel better and get off 30 plus meds that I take, I don't want to die fat and cant let myself die fat. so why not stick with it, everyday every morning is the same thing, I wake up thinking of food and hungry have a shake and try to be good all day well no its not even lunch and im starving so what another shake or food if I eat real food I will continue to eat all day, if I have a shake I be starving all day. I cry,i yell I want to turn myself inside out at times to so why I cant keep it up. I don't have all that I need to eat the right way bc I hate going out bc im so fat and hate being around a lot of ppl. I don't want to die fat I cant die fat, all my life I been trying to lose weigh I have tried and done some crazy diet crap and lost weight and gained it back, it been many many yrs of trying and not getting anywhere. well this surgery should help will help so why is it that I still feel like crap and keep messing up. I know what I need to do and how to do it, I just start to and then stop why do I stop I don't know why. I just want to eat im hungry and miss my food. Im so tired of the shakes and im not drinking them the way Im suppose to its been about 6 months since august I started the program needed only ten pound to lose for a date and I have lost and gained. so idk whats gonna happen now tomorrow is group meeting and weigh in, I don't want to go im afraid I gained weight and my psych and nut will not let me get a date. I see my nut tomorrow and then I see both of them on the 23rd and I cant wait for that day to see what they have to say about me getting a date or not. sometime I feel just to give up, I been trying all my life to lose and keep off this weight and I always end up messing it all up. don't u think its time to put a stop to it, wasted many, many yrs on this yo yo diet and not keeping it off and I still don't feel good about myself. im sad all the time, tired, angry all the time. when I get up im always starving and think of food all the time, I get up and have a shake and a yogurt sometime. but right after I just want to eat real food and get upset with myself for wanting food and things that I don't need. I hate going out to the stores or anywhere I do appt that's all, so its hard to go buy the food I need. my nut said a shake with Protein (really don't eat meat) a fruit or veggie two shakes a day and a small meal, I don't cook so its like sandwich all the time. I know I should try harder to do what the nut says with it shake but not going to the store don't help any. im lazy, im angry, im sad, im tired. im bored. and want to just give up not more hoping to lose weight no more wanting to struggle with the weight and getting healthy, im just tired of it all im to old for this right now anyway, im 50 why start now, well I been in a program since august and still have not lost what I needed to lose, I had three pounds to lose and I bet I didn't lose them by tomorrow. all I do is think of food, all I want is real food, how can I stick to this pre op diet if I cant stop thinking about food. I even stopped going to the gym haven't been to the gym in two months, and this is my last month my membership expires on the 31st. I don't know if I do it again. I have at home all this work out things I don't even use and they gym I was going everyday and now nothing zero times. I feel that I should just say what the hell give up don't think about it anymore don't try to lose weight anymore don't think about it anymore give up and continue with the life I have and be settle with it. but then a friggen parg of my mind says no u want this, u deserve to be thinner and want this u have wanted it for many yrs all your life really since what late 20s I been fighting with the hell of weight lost. I cry, I yell I sleep, I get mad at myself, I write things down why I want to do this surgery and it all come back to I cant make myself stick to it no matter how bad I want this, so I guess I don't want it that much right, don't u agree with me. like I should just give up and don't think about it anymore or care about it but like I said a damn other part of me tells me how much I want it and how healthy ill be. I feel im losing it cant make up my mind and im so tired of it all. not tomorrow have to go to group and weigh in and cry bc I gained weight, what can I do to really make up my mind on this, I want it but then I don't then I don't care about it, well I think I don't care about but then I go and reread all the post and my guide book and make all these wonderful plan for the thinner me. im in the dog house and cant get out. -

Can I use this as a multivitamin?
nancy264 replied to Ree's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
whats the name of the shake -
I have no date anytime soon for surgery, but I cant wait I have 3lbs left to lose then on the 23rd I have to see my nut and psych and ill get the info for the post op, hope I get a date on that day. Im so nervous, that's why I feel I should start packing now and buy everything I need for post-op. what do you all think. im afraid ill forget something to eat or pack in my bag. im suppose to be doing two to three shake a day, 3 Snacks Protein, veggies and a small meal, I have don't two shakes and do fine in the am but later on the day, I end up eating what should not eat. I know I have to follow the pre-op just like my nut says I have my meds but my pharmacist didn't have chewable he said he hasn't heard of them being chewable. and my insurance pd for all of them but not for the B12. ima call my insurance and see if they pay for the shot. ok, now to know if I should get ready now. what you all think
