I'm doing great! Down 30# and my BS and BP are great. I read my visit notes on the app they provide and it stays I should be taking 325 (65 Fe)mg once per day. Right now I'm taking Celebrate 18mg plus Vit C in the pill once a day.  Am I screwing myself

My center stated six weeks after surgery I can swallow pills and capsules. I currently take Celebrate chewables and happy with those. I have to open the caps for three meds now and no matter what I mix them in I can taste them. One med is to protect my

At initial visit back in September the center contacted my insurance for coverage, which I had. Insurance approved my surgery. Received approval letter from the insurance and the center also received approval. I met all the requirements, ect. If not, I

Greeting everyone. I read the article a doctor wrote about the quality of Bariatric vitamins that are sold. It was on the main page on this site. I've stopped taking the Flintstones Complete and now am taking Celebrate Vitamins. They are local and thei

For the next few days I'm on thicker liquids. I managed to drink about five ounces of plain low fat Kefir this morning. Lunchtime I had a little bit of thinned low fat cottage blenderized with skim milk. Everything still tastes sweet, even the Kefir. I

I'm still a bag of nerves. 10am today I start my Miralax cocktail. Oh what joy!  Going to have the RNY as its my best chance of getting ride of my Type II diabetes or making it much better. Hoping for the latter. Is there a reason why the VSG doesn't h

The call from the surgeons office came today, and boy was I happy. I'm scheduled for next Thursday for RNY.  Tomorrow another visit and patient education, so I needed to use PTO day at work. Next Wednesday the dreaded bowel prep, I know TMI.

I was medically cleared last Thursday. Paperwork sent in and now the wait (weight??) begins. A small pun. :)

i have two more pre-op blood tests and visit for instructions next week. Praying I can have my surgery before the end of this year. 

My EKG saw something and I had a nuclear stress test which showed a problem. Cardiac cath next week. Had my second doctor and NUT visits today. I lost one pound. BMI still over 35, barely. If I need a stent my RNY will be postponed a short time, hopefu

i had all my blood work done and all is well. Vitamin D needs to be increased. It's a small capsule and easy to swallow. Now, I have problems with large vitamins. I know they have calcium citrate in a petite size. And B12 you can put under your tongue.

I first posted in Diet &Nutrition forum but having problems with iPad cut and paste, so I'll ask here. Because I'm considered a lightweight, my BMI just over 35.  I'm female, and 5'7, age 59. Been overweight most of my entire adult life. I'm also a typ
