Is anyone taking Vitamins and supplements now? I began taking a Multivitamin and Biotin a month ago.

Yes, I'm taking the same a multi and biotin. I'm on prescription Vitamin D and Iron.< /p>

I'm taking a multi and Vitamin D - 10,000 units because my bloodwork ALWAYS comes back very low on D. I live in Seattle so I can't expect much else! If the deficiency is still a problem post surgery I'll ask my doc for a standing prescription for the once a week dose. I've also cut back coffee to weekends only, cut out soda which wasn't difficult since I don't drink much anyway. Same with alcohol, I play on being alcohol free for a year after surgery. I'm drinking more Water, which is why I stopped drinking coffee. I found I was drinking a few cups of coffee before work then NO water the rest of the day.

I've also upped my skin care routine. I'm not a very vain person but I've heard that rapid weight loss can cause a little wrinkli-ness in the face. I have good skin - trying to keep it that way!

Got my 5th appointment down but because of my insurance I can't go to my nut classes until after my 6th appointment and then a weigh in in December(hoping December 2nd for the dumb 7th weigh in. Then I have to wait for the nut classes and my insurance approval. She said ill still have a end of year surgery but I was hoping for a early December :( super bummed.

That's frustrating. Hopefully it will all go smoothly, though, and still be before the new year!

I'm hoping for December 5 too which I realized today is in about 6.5 weeks! December sounds much further away than 6.5 weeks!

      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.
