AtlantaRed 651 Posted October 21, 2013 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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slvrsax 301 Posted October 21, 2013 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! 1 AshleyMidwife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewAshes 232 Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) 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.

AtlantaRed 651 Posted October 22, 2013 That's frustrating. Hopefully it will all go smoothly, though, and still be before the new year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlotta 57 Posted October 22, 2013 Good idea for me to start taking a multiple vitamin..and maybe B12 to be stronger for the surgery. December 5 th is my date. I weigh 210..am 5 ft 1, goal weight is 130. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtlantaRed 651 Posted October 22, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annadette 23 Posted October 22, 2013 Hi Everyone! December 2nd, 2013 is my big day! Looks like there are a few Dec. 2nd people here already! I am 39 years old, 249 pounds right now, and 5'2" tall.
