I have take them three times but they get stuck every time. Omg those big beige looking capsules. They have chewables but i have to order online my nut doesn't have the chewables which is where i got the tablets from. My nut only has chewable Calcium.

I would totally send mine to you if I could find a pill small enough to take! Could be the Celebrate brand that we're having issues with. ??? Or maybe it's just our capacity for taking Vitamins that are like horse pills/tablets. I've been wondering to even bother with them any longer and just find another now.

Hey y'all, what Vitamins are you taking or did you buy to start taking? How's it working for you? Or not?

I didn't get to cook. My husband has been working on the backsplash all day. He's just now starting to clean up-will have to finish the little bit left tomorrow. So, I opted for more Beans with cheese. Didn't care to try and work around the hubs, so...no pic of a nice meal today. Sorry folks!

I have been taking the berry flavor chewable made by Bariactric fusion. They are. Ok. I mean it is still a Vitamin, but it doesn't make nauseous so maybe try something else?

I didn't cook either tonight except a scrambled egg with cheese for me. I could only eat a smidge over half and I was full. My hubby ate leftovers of the ricotta bake I made for him last night.

We are still waiting for the back splash photos 😉

Lol. This is so far....still needs to complete an area and then grout it (it'll be white grout) to make it a clean look. There is the man of all my hours!!!! 😍

After looking at the pic, man, there's still so much more to be done. But it's coming along.

Sipping on a drinkable yogurt. Will have Water and possibly a cup of coffee later.

I went and picked up some Whataburger (burger chain here that everyone loves) for his dinner. Made a brownie cake (freebie from the store) for my girls and gave them ice cream on top that my husband bought. They can afford it; they're all slim. Lol. Thankfully it's not an everyday occurrence though. I kind of wanted to have a bite of the cake. Which is unlike me, because I'd rather have chips and queso. I believe I had moments of just wanting to have a regular meal, to be able to eat more than just 2 tbsp. I know it's all in my head though. Time to snap out of it. 😂

Awesome. Love the keurig! 😊 Hey, is that a spiralizer? How is it? I have been looking for one but after so many reviews, I can't decide.

Smelled that earlier too. I wouldn't risk my life/health over food at this point anyhow. We will one day soon. 😊

Yes. I love it!

I use it to make zucchini noodles, and all sorts of other veggie noodles. I got mine at Walmart very inexpensive and I use it a lot.

      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.
