Again guys I was cleared to workout at my 2 week check up, I wouldn't workout if I wasn't cleared. They just told me to start of light and take my time. As far as Vitamins I'm taking them already I just don't like them, the Calcium is liquid and gross and so is the B12. I do have my meal plan and she said as time progresses she will up my intake do to the fact I work hard in the gym.

My NUT likes optisource. It's a chewable that you take 4 times/day. Everything you need is in there. I'm using that until I get sick of using chewables and cleared to start regular pills.

Not bad. It's a chalky orange flavor. It doesn't linger too long after chewing it. I like the fact that I only have to deal with one bottle even though it is 4 times throughout the day. You can get it at Walgreens (check their website to see which store has it in stock) and also Amazon. The pharmacists told me today that a lot of insurance companies cover them with a Rx for your doc.

Which procedure did you have sleeve or by pass? Have you tried the Patches? I am in the process of deciding on which one I see my doctor on the 20th of this month excited.

I think you should speak to your nutritionist or doctor. I had the sleeve surgery 12/8/2016. I feel great and actually can eat everything fish, shrimp, salmon, beef, pork and brown rice. Lost approximately 35 pounds and feeling great. First 3 weeks I was told not to left nor more than 10 pounds. I actually went on my 3 week post op visit with doctor visit and I was told not to left up anything heavier than 10 pounds for 3 more weeks. I was also informed that I could only do strength training like ropes, elliptical and treadmill but no weights. Sorry be careful and don't rush to lifting.

My doc told me I can start walking after week 2. But I'm still in the hospital right now and I'm getting almost 5,000 steps just walking the hallways and getting this gas out. My surgery date was 1/5/17

I am 6 months post op and have used PatchMD from the start. The Multi and B12. I just had my first blood work completed and everything was normal. It's a small patch you put on your body everyday it's much easier than swallowing pills on a daily basis.

      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.
