Specific nutrients needed to sustain healthy life after surgery
_Kate_ replied to Dallas Powell's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I take a full multi Vitamin (Centrum Advantage) morning and evening, Vit D morning, Vitamin C Morning and then a Calcichew with D3Forte three times a day (2 hrs apart from my Multi's) Two weeks ago I had my full bloods and they were perfect. No issues at all and I don't need the additional B12 injections or Iron I thought I may need to have. I had a copy of the results sent to me so I can see for myself lol -

Congratulations on the surgery date !! Best wishes for the surgery and speedy recovery -
My energy level has always been okay, even pre op when I was doing the liver reduction diet, I had tons of energy. Post op was very different though, it took me a good 6 weeks to feel back to 'normal'.

I take Centrum Advantage and just had my first bloods done, post op. All came back great with no need for any extra iron or B12. Very pleased

I am just about to head out to buy new bra's. I was 44 DD before I started the 2 week liver reduction diet and 3 weeks ago I bought a new bra which is 40DD but now it's hanging off me both in size and cup size. I don't want to keep buying bra's every few weeks so I am going to look at the bra strap extenders .. .. Has anyone used these? Any other suggestions? How many sizes did you go down until you got to goal?

Will I regain the weigth?
_Kate_ replied to Canadian lady's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Maybe you need therapy in conjunction with the surgery, just to keep your head in the right place whilst your body is changing. Best of luck in your decision! -
Salmon is nice, with lemon.

It takes such strength to have WLS and to live the life you need to keep the weight off. You're not a failure, you are strong!!

Congratulations, you look fabulous. Keep up the good work

I can only hope Miss Mac !

I can relate to this and yes it's put a strain on our marriage. However, he does understand, doesn't LIKE it but understands and tends to give me space when I'm about to hit a bitchfest. Or if I realise it myself, I take myself off to bed for a while and watch a film or read. It's been a few weeks now but getting less and less. I think joining the gym has helped too. I really hope you feel better soon

Week 1 Stall - frustrating and unexpected but understandable
_Kate_ replied to shriner37's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think everyone is different when it comes to weighing and how often. I get on the scales every morning and that works for me. I certainly don't obsess over how much I have lost or put on or my stalls but it helps me focus on what I should be doing. Each to their own and what works for them -
