Thank you ladies!!!!! I know it's light at the end of the tunnel' date=' and ppl do compliment on how "good" I look, HOWEVER no one knows me like ME and ummmmm I NEED A FILL!!!!!!!

I should not want and/or think about STUFFED CRUST pizza, but I am and it's taking every ounce of strength in me to just keep with my regimen. :-/

Do any of you ladies take Vitamins?

I take one a day Multi Vitamins gummie. They r pretty good and don't make me sick to my stomach. Also I take caltrate D chewable. I broke down today and had 2 cheese sticks from sonic. I took off the bread and just ate the cheese and I have been nauseated ever since. That's was about 1 pm. That was a mistake!!!

Yes to the Vitamin question. My doc has me taking Bariatric Vitamins once daily as they have a higher percentage of what my body needs now that I'm not taking in as much nutrition as before. Also I take Calcium citate 1800mg daily. Hope this helps.

Regarding vitamins: 1 childrens chewable with Choline (Double check for Choline as not all Vitamins contain it. I buy the costco version of Flintstones much cheaper); 2 Caltrate Plus with D; 2 Vitafusion Gummy D (I have no levels); Vitafusion Gummy Fiber (couple in the morning couple at night); 1 Biotin 5,000 mg (For Hair loss. Available as a tick tack sized capsule.). I also take 65 mg Iron. If you take an iron supplement make sure to wait an hour before taking Calcium as they counteract one another.

If are supposed to be on solids continue to eat solids. If you haven't purchased a food scale do so. If you are not measuring you are guaranteed to be eating too much. I am at restrictions yet still measure all my Protein. Eat 3 ounces of solid Protein and then low fat/calorie vegetables until full. Your first fill may not give you restriction' date=' in fact it took me 6 months to get restriction. Again, the band is meant to work with solid food. You cannot survive for ever on liquids. As anyone who lost weight on slimfast will tell you when you go back to solids you will gain weight.[/quote']

I WILL BE PURCHASING A scale IMMEDIATELY, I KNOW FOR A FACT I AM EATING MORE THAN 3 oz OF PROTEIN. 6 MONTHS TO GET RESTRICTION?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
