I'm shacked up with a soon be nurse, is it the same thing? :)

Thank you all for the responses; I am going to continue to take it weekly, and consult with the NP when I go for my next app on July...

Hey all

Question: How much do you take daily/weekly?

Currently, taking 5000 mcg a week (Dietician ordered) but I have read up on people taking that DAILY. B-12 is a great vitamin for you, and...

I honestly didn’t even think about this ����*♂️ You may be a life saver DebbieD

I haven met my protein goal once, I think today I only had about 3 grams or protein. They make me sick, nauseous sick. They stay down, but uncomfortably. I start puréed food Wednesday, I can’t wait. ...

Hi Friends! I had surgery on April 18th and am not doing to good. I’ve tried multiple proteins and none are sitting right with me. I can keep them down, they just make me feel so nauseous and sick...

Boy am I glad day 1 is over. I didn’t have a bad reaction but I did wake up in a lot of pain (some people don’t). Now I can hardly move my legs as my my groin and hips areas are real sore. Dry...

I don't see why you couldn't. At my teaching lesson he said ideally no more alcohol for the rest of my life but if I were to drink try at home first (you will get drunk as heck so quick, i mean 1 sip...

South, Burlington County!

It's here.. Wednesday I am getting surgery. You know that feeling you get on a rollercoaster where your stomach feels like it's in your butt? Well, it's happening to me but I'm not on a...

This sounds like reflux, I got those kinds of burps before my 2 week liquid diet as well. Nasty, I tell ya! I would bring it up to your doctor still :) they know better than all of us

I'll have to check that out, thanks! I am going to try as well. I suggest looking at the Gardien meals, I heard they are pretty good!

Agreed; however I believe there are studies (don't quote me, i just have a friend on facebook who spews the stuff) that not eating meat is healthier and better for the environment. I think i'll give...

Veggies and rice/mashed potatoes mostly; and it may not have been the leanest meat you could eat.

Good morning all!

Was wondering if anyone had any success with a vegetarian diet after surgery? (when pureed, soft and regular food enters the picture)

I ate a lot of meat before and I honestly...

I started my 2 week diet yesterday, and well to give you a bit of background on how hungry I am. I took a nap yesterday afternoon and woke up (after having a dream about food) CHEWING ON MY TOUNGE....

I will try that, thank you Ann!

C section, I could not even imagine. Moms are superheroes!

Thanks for the encouragement :)

The actual operation, I don't do so well with things like these. Even watching my 600 LB life gets me cringing!

I am getting surgery in April 18th.. I did not think it would happen so fast. Last Monday, March 26th, I met with the Psychologist and she approved me for surgery. I have a final consult with the...

I have to say if it ends up being like this I would never go to another one

My program fee was $600, that was for the nutrition consult and psych eval. Also includes support groups and for some reason I remember my surgeon saying something about cooking classes. I may be...

I'll be out of the office for 3 weeks, but i'll be working hopefully from home. My surgery is on a Wednesday, so I was thinking of taking Wednesday to Wednesday off, then starting Thursday I'd work...

Morning, all!

My surgery has just been scheduled for April 18th! I've never been so ready or excited for anything in my entire life, and I cannot wait to share this journey with everyone.

I...

I'm going through the same thing right now; I have an endoscopy on Friday to see any damage acid has created to determine whether or not I will get the bypass/sleeve.

Honestly, my reflux is so bad...

oh no, not the clothes shopping.. I am so excited to finally be able to wear the stuff I WANT!!!!
