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!!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
