Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm in the Bronx. Sleeved on April 3rd, 2017. HW:261, SW:244, CW:164!!! I'm happy with my results but I'm deficient in my Iron and B Vitamins.

Hi. Glad to hear your happy with your results.
Are you taking pills for vitamins? I use vitamin patches since surgery. Are you keeping active , gym exercise?

Yes, I'm taking Multivitamins, B-Complex, Vitamin B1, Vit C and D. My PCP just added monthly B12 shots and B12 sublingual pills everyday. I'm also taking a high dude Iron capsule as well. It metabolizes differently than over the counter iron. Yes, I stay very active. I do exercise. BUT, my weight lifting sucks!!! I don't have the time to go to a gym. I have made one in my garage but I still have to get a weight bench and other weight equipment.

Cool. I still get a B12 injection but use a multi Vitamin Patch every other day since my body absorbs it well. I had too much Vitamin.
Exercise is important. I stopped during the summer since I was concentrating on biking [emoji1395]. I’ll start my regular routine at 5am before going to work.

This app sucks. It’s hard to locate certain things.
As for your question. It was best decision I’ve ever made. My only regret was not doing it sooner. What about you?
When I did my surgery it was 3 days before my birthday so it was hard with family and friends wanting to go out. I didn’t tell anyone aside from my fiancée. My family and friends just think I lost weight since I been going to the gym 5 days a week.

Lol...I totally understand you. My co-workers, my children and hubby, my brother, and maybe 2 friends know about my surgery. I lost the weight and people be so surprised because they had not seen me for months, even years. I'm not ashamed at all about my surgery. It is the best decision I have ever made!!!! I can actual breath. I can walk up stairs and 1 mile without having shortness of breath. My joints don't hurt anymore. It's an amazing feeling. I'm 6 months post op, the only negative thing about the surgery is these yo-yo hormones. [emoji34]

I didn’t tell family because I know how they would pass judgment and comments so I didn’t want to be bothered. My nephew had surgery last year and I hear the comments so I just stay out of it.

It’s a great feeling being able to move more without being tired. I picked up biking after surgery now I love my bike. I just did the bike mes tour last weekend for 30 miles. Looking forward to others.

Where are you from, nationality if I may ask.
What do you eat nowadays? Do you feel you can eat more than usual?

      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.
