I started the Biotin before surgery...I take 1000mcgs daily. I don't kno if it helps metabolism though. The dr recommended that I take it so...

Are you taking a chewable form of Biotin, or just the regular tablets? I've only been able to find them in 300mcg- are you just taking several of the 300mcg, or have you actually found a 1000mcg tablet/chewable?

Thanks!!

Marymouse (loving the name!), I've noticed that when I work out the weight moves faster. I do NOT enjoy it, but I noticed even last week I got in a lot of unintentional excercise as I was on vaca (went to an amusement park and swimming in the pool) and I've lost 10 lbs in the past week and half! It has not come off this fast since weeks 1-3! Im at 9 weeks now. I'm spreading the exercise news like its gospel...ha ha.

      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.
