I was watching Oprah yesterday with Dr Oz. Someone asked about Calcium supplements and what kind we should take. Dr Oz says a Calcium with Magnesium in it is better than one without (Mag helps with constipation). So if you suffer from Constipation read your calcium supplement carefully if no magnesium that could be the cause.

When I was at Rite aid today, I read Viactiv-NO MAGNESIUM so I bought Caltrate chewables.< /p>

Good luck everyone

When you come to NY lets meet up as the skinny ladies we deserve to be!

So far the worst thing I did was eat corned beef hash and lots of it. I had such pressure on my chest that i couldnt beleive it. I remember someone saying drink pineapple juice(it helps the stuck feeling) when this happens but I cant allergic. So I drank lemon juice and went for a walk it took about 30 min. but the stuck feeling past, thank GOD.

I think if that would have gone down without problem I would have found something else to try. Unfortunately this is the battle we are all struggling with to some degree.

I dont know how to put pictures on so i had to send it from my cell phone to the pc. I hope this works

14 days post op

I went to my primary care doctor today because I wasnt feeling well but it turns out im fine. Just a little congestion.

:thumbdown::thumbup: Anyhoo, I have lost 14 lbs since surgery !!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

:bored:

I live in NYC specifically the Bronx!

Thanks Gibson, liven this place up.

I watch the BIGGEST LOSER, Ghost Hunter, Ghost Whisperer, every week. I used to watch Greys and Heroes weekly but the writers strike put those on hold.

I cant watch Flavor of Love anymore ICK!

I love the Brady's but I missed to may episodes to start now. I need a marathon!

I can sleep on my left side and my back but the port side is not gonna happen anytime soon. I am so so sore there but hopefully another week and i will be fine

Good Luck And Welcome To LBT!

Gibson,

How does the liquid Calcium taste? Thanks for the reply

I have been thinking about having the LASIK procedure done:scared2: and have read the thread about it in this forum. Now i'm wondering if anyone can recommend a doctor in the NYC metro area? I have DAVIS vision who pays a percentage of the cost depending on the individual circumstance.

:thumbup:Any help will be appreciated. Thanks:thumbup:

Rhapsody♥ ,

You made me cry but these tears are joyous and long coming. It is about time that I am to say "I am Morbidly Obese but I wont be for long!" I needed a little inspiration today as I am in a ton of pain(lower back) but I will survive we all will.

Thank u Rhapsody Thank u :confused:

I am 5'1.5(the nutrionist found that .5)lmao, I wasnt to happy with her but it didnt hurt my BMI to much.

I have always hated shopping because all of my friends are stick women. When it was time to go in Lane Bryant for me they could never understand the reason everything has a damn pattern?? I would only buy the dark solid shirts and pants. But now, now i cant wait to go buy a bright color this summer and not look like a parade float, lol

Good luck everyone

What type of Calcium supplements are you taking?

I cant goto sleep or shower without something good being on TV. I have to find something interesting on and then I can watch a bit then turn the TV off. If im going to shower, i just need to know it will be on when i come out of the bathroom.

I know wierd but I have to do it

I wanted to avoid getting stuck everyway I could, so I bought liquid Tylenol rapid release. I found it at Duane Reade and Rite aid drugstores. If you still cant find it, I also saw it on Amazon.com

I take childres chewable FLINTSTONE vitamins(2/day 1 morn 1 bed)
