My NUT recommended Bariatric Advantage and told me to look at it as "a treat". I thought she was crazy, but I have to admit, I look forward to that caramel Calcium twice a day now! I couldn't stomach the chewable Multivitamins (I tried Flintstones and bought some opurity I'm going to try and sell on ebay!), so I bought gummies by One A Day Women's and they go down better. I'm not sure if they are allowable by my NUT, but I figured if she wanted me to take chewy Calcium, chewy multi would work as well!

My NUT recommends Bariatric Advantage too but the Vitamins make me nauseous so recently bought some gummy vitamins and they will have to do until I go see her soon!

Ran out of Iron but I enjoyed that so will buy some more from the Dr's next week when I go for my 3 month follow up-My labs look good so it should be ok for a week

I was taking a Vita-fusion chewable multi that I was getting at Walgren's but mt bariatric physician switched me to Bariatric Advantage AE because of its extra Iron content. It is a huge horse pill stink bomb that I could not swallow whole or in quarters........so I got my morter and pestle out of the kitchen and mush them up and put them in a blueberry applesauce cup. No problem now.

THE BA Vitamins made me horrible sick. Now, I take AlternaVites which is like a pixie stick style that dissolves on your tongue. The ingredietns are pretty good too. For whole foods and excellent ingredients try Garden of Life Raw One for women. They have lots to choose from. I still cant stomach the big pills yet but once I do I will moving to those.

My Nut, who is big time into food purity, won't eat sugar, drink Creamers, etc, strongly recommended Celebrate. I found out during lab work that I had very severe anemia. That plus an extra 100 pounds.. No wonder I felt like stomped dog doo! One month of two a day celebrate Iron and my level more than doubled. She said it is very well absorbed. It is a little costly but I am sold on the products. I buy online on their site.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
