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!!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
