I absolutely love your post! I also think you are absolutely right!! I hear the compliments, but I don't seem to really be feeling them. It doesn't help that even my small clothes now are getting baggy. A very good problem, but I feel frumpy. The scale is moving, I have not had more than maybe a three day stall. I have yet to dump or vomit, and so far no Hair loss. I keep waiting for the bad stuff to happen, and it just isn't. I should be grateful, but instead it worries me. Go figure!![/quote']

This is a strange journey, so glad I've ft it y'all!

What Calcium supplements is everyone taking. My nut said to take a chewable calcium citrate but I am having a really hard time with the large chalk like pills/wafers. Anyone find a chewable that isn't so bad. She said gummies are out. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> HW 343 SW 326 CW 249 GW 177 (94lbs gone) woohoo

Bariatric Advantage caramel calcium chews with Vitamin D. They're kind of pricy (about $30 for 90) but totally worth not having to chew those chalky things.

I used the same brand in chocolate until I hit 3 months. They taste like tootsie rolls! They are spendy and you need to take four a day, but they were my treat everyday! Bariatric Advantage does offer samples. You might want to contact them and see if you can get a sample pack.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
