Oh baby, we are the home to wal-mart and SAMs club!!! One on every corner! I guess I can suck it up and buy a membership, I try to avoid them due to the massive jumbo sized crap I don't really need :D

I got them today and the taste is not bad at all. They are smaller than i thought they would be also. Sure beats taking two Multivitamins a day since this give you 200% of the daily recommended amount. Plus it has the required Iron i'm supposed to take :)....Baker_gurl, what other supplements do you take along with this?

I also take 4 calcium citrate pills. I get them in a 300 count bottle for just under $8. I take a sublingual B12 and 1 Biotin pill. I get all of these from Walmart.< /p>

I don't notice any difference yet but then we are absorbing fully like pre bypass. My MD said its likely she will be giving me shots of b12

Yep bought my Biotin 5000mcg from Walmart . B12 from trader joes. calcium citrate chews sugar free and prenatal Vitamin from costco. No I'm not pregnant, it's just prenatal Vitamins are the best and they have Iron in them.

      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.
