@chell I use Celebrate chewy ones in orange flavor. It’s pretty good but I forget to take my evening pills. I started making sure I did because I don’t want to lose teeth or have any more ailments due to lack of Vitamins.

Mine are chewy orange but I don't remember the brand. That's a pretty strong reason to remember them! I'm going to have to make a point of doing better with getting in that 2nd dose.

Dr recommended putting all Vitamins near bathroom sink by my toothbrush so I remember to take them in morning n evening.

Btw, for the pizza lovers, I was in Central market yesterday and saw Prenate Cauliflower pizza crust...! Did not even know that such a thing existed!

Check the ingredients, it's not always all cauliflower crust. Many of them have other starchy flour substitutes.

Does anyone have those charts for expected/average weight loss by starting weight? With different time milestones and weight loss expected (bypass)?

I’ve seen others post them and keep meaning to save it but forgot...would love to have as a reference now that I’m a couple months out!

Is this what you're looking for:

Does anyone have a cool app or sheet that helps them record their body fat? I don’t have a Baritastic code because I had my surgery in Mexico.

I use the Yunmai body scale and app which calculates everything everytime I weigh myself

I use Aria scale which is connected to Fitbit and sends weight and fat stats to phone app and graphs them for me :)

How does it calculate body fat just by standing on it?

Do you have thoughts about the Fitbit vs Apple Watch?

I use this scale with app. Pretty cheap and works great.

BTW what's a Baritastic code?

It’s a code that you use with the Baritastic app that I guess allows you access to track all that information. But you get the code from your surgeon.
