Wow...@triplethreat.... Seems me you ate the only being judgmental and are using blanker statements! I did NOT say all women are gosspiy and catty. I said the ppl that i work with are-those ppl you know nothing about so maybe you should be careful who are categorizing bc those statements dont help. Maybe you shouldnt twist ppls words bc then you may understand exactly what was posted a little better. Wow... Smh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow! Ok... My drs promote Protein first 60 grams/day and dont seem to have much interest in promoting veggies at all. I questioned it bc it goes against everything we were taught as kids! Lol. Thank you for your responses and input. I have an appt next week and will definitely be looking for some answers then. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can totally relate to you! It is very sad how people judge and talk-as if you dont hear it. The same happened to me. I was sleeved in 7.5.16 and did not tell many people at all. Like you-its my business and bc I know the gossip that goes around the office already I didnt want to be the one they were adding to the list of current trash. Well-i work in the registration dept of where i had my surgery. Went to my boss and asked her to handle my acct so no one else would know bc i wanted this kept confidential. What a joke that was-i came back to work and get 101 questions. Ppl that shouldnt have known a thing were asking me 'how do u feel?' I am not happy. Would like to go to HR but it will just point me out at the 'tattletale' and then my job as I know it will be 'hell in earth'. Frustrating. Oh well... I know that I will soon be healthier and happier than they will be and thats what keeps my head up for the moment.. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My dr suggested vitamints from Centrum. Chewable and taste like a mint. No vitamin/chalk taste at all! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had terrible back spasms and pain for a good two weeks post op. The surgeons claimed initially it was from the anesthesia. Then they said it was from the operating table. Im not sure what it was-but i know it hurt-ALOT! The pain meds didnt even touch it!!! Give it some time and rest and that will get you thru. I would sleep kinda of sitting up and that seemed to help with he back pain too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all! So Im four weeks post op today and have lost 28 lbs total. Im thrilled with that! But have some concerns regarding not getting my vegetables in for Fiber and other nutrition. By the time i eat my Protein, Im full and have no room for veggies. Im only suppose to eat three meals a day. Im on soft foods currently but am worried no getting veggies may contribute to hair loss down the road-or other issues. I am faithfully taking my Vitamins and meds. Any suggestions? Anyone else worry about this or am I just being weird?? Lol... Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! I had my surgery on july 5th and have lost 28lbs. Currently I am at four wks post op and at a stall for the last week. Hoping it doesnt last too long. As far as a multi-Vitamin.... I have found vitamints and I really like them. I am sensitive to tastes smells etc so I tried many Vitamins until I found these. Centrum makes them and they taste just like a mint! Worth a try! Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have found that taking my Vitamins and meds with applesauce or cottage cheese seems to help the pill go down the hatch a lil easier and the 'stuck' feeling isnt as bad. Just a suggestion! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
