No no, their very first post was a thing about how they know special Vitamins and to e-mail them about it. This was their 2nd post.

If you were banded in May, at best you would barely be 10 months out.

Nobody likes a hidden agenda. :thumbdown:

After looking around the site today I see so much about people being upset about how the site is used. I so do not want to add to this problem!

If you have more you would like to say Please email me!

If you're looking for info, or a community to talk about being banded, you're more than welcome. The more the merrier!

But when your first posts are info about Vitamins, to e-mail you for info, it sounds like every other spam mail everyone gets trying to rip you off.

If you really found some special Vitamins that work, why not just say I found Vitamin Flintstone that worked great, you guys should try it.

Instead of every one of your very first posts some self-agenda post to make you some money off of the vulnerability of people looking for help on issues like hair loss?

I just wanted to let you guys know, my nutritionist from Dr. Steinberg's office came and did a lecture on how important the Omega 3 oils were and you could them from eggs, etc. and she suggested the Coromega Fish Oil which comes in the little ketchup packets....I absolutely hate a fishy taste, but I was surprised...the pudding packs (orange)...it's the only type I have tried tastes just like an orange creamsicle.....I swear it has no after taste and you would never, never know it was fish oil. I have taken it every day since I have been banded.....and believe me, if it had any hint of a fish taste, I would not take it. I get mine at GNC in a box of 90....with my 20% discount card, I end up paying $26.00.....thanks

I found some Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules that are pretty tiny. You have to take 2 of them twice a day, but if you're concerned about the size of the regular ones, I got them at Walgreen's.

I figured out that the large ones, although they looked formidable, aren't really that hard to get down. The outer coating is slick. And I am not one who likes to take pills of any kind and I sometimes have problems getting pills down. Not because of the band... I've been this way since I was a child. My mom used to have to crush baby aspirin! Then they invented liquid Tylenol. Oops. I think that's like saying I was here when they invented dirt.

On a health radio talk show the other day I heard that if fish oil capsules taste fishy or "repeat" on you, there's a good chance that they have not been stored properly, either in transit or at the store where you bought them, or by you. They say you need to buy them as fresh as possible and then freeze them, although I don't freeze mine because my DH and I both take them and they don't last long.

My hair falling out of my head was so hard for me! I found something that worked for me and will find another way to get the word out about it! I once again want to make it clear that I should have not used the site to talk about the pruducts that have worked for me! and in the future will not talk about pruducts! I have been up looking on this site many of nights for answers from other lap banders and feel horrible that my posting have come a cross like I am prying on some ones vulnerability!

Zoe- are you selling products or recommending products? Or both? It makes a big difference in how "helpful" a post is considered to be.

Hi,

I am and was receommending products that I heard about from my acupuncturist. She told me about them after my surgery and they helped me tremendously then and now. I thought passing on this information would be beneficial for others since they have helped me so much.

I would anyone's ideas about a Protein supplement that tastes good. I have yet to find one I like and am struggling to get my protein in. I was just rebanded in Feb so I trying to make sure I get everything right. I went to GNC today and looked at Fish oil (that is how I ended up on this subject) but I didn't buy any. For those that do take the fish oil, is that in addition to your Multi-Vitamin? What benefits have you noticed?

Protein products....

whey Gourmet Chocolate/Peanut butter made by PVL. (their chocolate is gross)

Matrix 5.0 Perfect chocolate made by Syntrax.

Matrix Cookies & Cream (if you like mega sweet) made by Syntrax

EAS strawberry (haven't tried the other flavors) made by EAS. I don't care for the premix but the powder is better and cheaper, you can get it at Walmart.< /p>

Body Fortress Chocolate. Kinda thin but doable in the beginning. Another Walmart product and cheap. I prefer EAS.

Those are what I prefer, your preferences may vary.

      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.
