You know, just in case I took an extra dose of Iron last night! Lol! I usually forget my Iron, and to be honest it is the weird aftertaste that makes me want to forget taking it. hahaha....... I am 9 months out. Do you still tale chewable? or how do you take it?

Yeah' date=' it's crazy. I was always the warmest person in the room. I lived in Colorado for awhile and my friends would always ask to exchange gloves with me while skiing because they knew they would be toasty. My wife would always be "on me" trying to get warm.

Now, the tables have turned. I am always cold. One of the small negatives of the weight loss, but worth it.

I wouldn't necessarily say it is due to extra skin in so much as our skin is no longer stretched out. I think a younger person who wasn't obese for long who lost the weight and doesn't have the extra skin, may also have the same problem. From what my Dr said, I'm guessing any person whose skin was tight and no longer is may have this.[/quote']

Hahahaha. ...... Its amazing how our bodies have changed in so little time!!! right?! I remember laughing at people who wore real winter jackets! and now I look like I live in Alaska all the time. :)

I also read/heard somewhere, that the hunger-hormone (grehlin-not sure if spelled correctly) that is released in the stomache has been mostly removed during the surgery and that it plays a part in temperature regulation. Don't know if it's true, or how it works, just remember hearing this somewhere... I'm freezing right now!!!

Hi! :)

It does have a weird icky after taste... Stats with you for a while. I take chewable iron every other day. My dosage is 29mg. I should take it every day but I do better every other day lol

I take chewable for my multi Vitamin as well. I take flinstone complete chew. I just take double the dose.

      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.
