 Friends Please go to www.bariatricfusion.com
I have been on them for a week now. Recommended by my Doctor, I was complaining about taking all the vitamins and trying to remember times for this one and that one , I was not getting my citrate into me. These awesome chewable vitamins are specially formulated just for bariatric clients like us. I take 2  twice a day and they do not taste bad, trust me I hate chewables but now it is so much more convenient and easier, made my life so much less stressful worry about the darn vitamins. I ordered and received one years supply best deal. I only like the strawberry and orange, I ordered half and half. It is less than a dollar a day, How awesome is that.....No more 7 and 8 different bottles, just one....
I love these chewables.....Try them...Just for your info.

Amazing how wonderful I feel, I was just sick for the first time since surgery, with Bronchitious but it was  not as severe as pre-surgery sickness with same thing...I am so much healthier having lost 80 pounds, WHOOHOOO..I work out every day. My Hair is crap,losing half it seems. Anyone have great ideas for that?... Well it is a small sacifice for the new HEALTHIER and HAPPIER me. I am playing squash alot, well that would never have happened 80 pounds ago. It is so exciting and so much energy I have is incredible..I feel like I am 20 years old...This surgery may not be for everyone But I am sure glad I did it.  I am going to buy a bike for the summer, I cannot wait , This is exciting the new life I have, Thank You Dr. Fitzer I love you for my new Life. I realize this surgery is just a Tool, I have to work with it. I dont have time to get on here much, being so busy and with the new incorperated exercise regime I put in 2 hours almost everyday . I am so proud of you Dee you look amazing You Go Girl.!!!!

I started exersizing Jan.9/2010, I am feeling awesome. I have a personal trainer for a couple of weeks to get me on path to target the much needed areas of my beautiful body...LOL...A work in progress that is for sure. I am enjoying it very much, the burn, pain and pleasure after the workout is over...I swim everyday after my workout then Yaaaa! the Hottub the reward for a job completed, some days are better than others but I get there everyday. I have goals I am going to meet. This transformation is going to happen!
It took alot to get to this point but if I can do it anyone can. I am missing you LISA , wondering and praying everyday you are coping and getting through this initial step. Proud of my friend Dee, she is doing awesome. Dont forget to call me for Lunch....Touch back with you all soon....
God Bless

Welcome 2010, Hope everyone had a great New Year!
I am excited about the changes in 2010, in my body and mind.
I do not know about anyone else but does anyone else have this problem. I have been overweight all of my adult life. Now that I have lost 46 pounds, I look in the mirror and think OMG , I have so far to go, I am so fat. I never struggled before when all the weight was there, strange isnt it?...Will I ever see myself losing weight.? Will I ever think I look good!

iT HAS BEEN A TIRESOME OLE CHRISTMAS, WORKING OVERTIME AND GETTING THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS.
I SPENT XMAS DAY IN THE HOSPITAL WITH MY UNCLE, GOD BLESS HIM. WE WERE TO HAVE XMAS BRUNCH TOGETHER BUT HE FELL AND IS IN I.C.U.
I AM DOING WELL DOWN A TOTAL OF 44 POUNDS IN 2 MONTHS. STILL LOOK IN MIRROR AND THINK WISH IT WOULD GO FASTER BUT PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE ISNT IT.

I AM WONDERING HOW MY FRIENDS ARE DOING HERE THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS, I REALLY MISS TALKING TO YOU LISA, CURIOUS TO HOW IT IS GOING. HANG IN THERE!
GOD BLESS!!!

Hello there my supporters, today was a weaker day than yesterday, but still pain is really gone just tenderness, and I was really tired perhaps it was the rainy weather, tomorrow is another day. I will call my Friend Lisa and congradulate her on the phone for finally getting her approval, I remember that estatic feeling!
YAHOO!...

Good morning everyone, it has been so incredible this past week, no one could ever understand unless you have been there that is for sure. No one prepared me for the emotional, well to a point but until you go through it, you could not possibly understand. Now something you need to understand I am not as eligant in writing as alot of people on here are so , sorry for that. Deliska my friend does a wonderful, amazing job at expresing herself. I can only try...hahaha

Well if your thinking about this surgery, it is a commitment you must be prepared to make and understand that every single person is so different. As many people and experinces I had heard about , no one compared exactly like me, WE ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT. Now saying that I am not sure if others were protecting me, or truly had the experince they had.  ( I have heard both now)

Today is Day 6 Post-op...First day I woke up feeling ok , this is a fabulous day. I still have a somewhat sore belly and I dont have the energy I had before surgery but that is all expected, and it will come.

The protein is good , not sure why it took be 6 days to build up to where I should have been at day 3 but I did it. to me that is what matters even if it takes me longer to accomplish what I should. I will do it!

I was confused in first few days, well overwhelmed is the word, I did not think I was drinking enough, but then I reread my papers and it said build up to, I was trying to do what it says to build up to in the next 2 weeks...Silly me, reading to fast. Now every morning in my morning routine , I sit and take my pills with my protein and I read all my papers again , looking forward to mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, and applesause..I will forgo the Oatmeal as it has never been something I enjoy.

Now something I wonder, some people take 1 mulit-vit in am and 1 in pm, I thought the same, but I asked nutrionist and she told me take at same time, same as tummy pills, so I do. I think I will call again to clarify see what they tell me...lol...

One important note ..it is so important to have someone to communicate with through this experince, the support is crucial .

Wow I gotta tell ya, as i was writing this , I had a message pop up from an old freind i had not heard from in 2 years, he had just went through heart transplant,sure made me think, Incredible how god works.! Want I just went through really doesnt compare at all..... Thank you God for putting it all in perspective.

Respectfully
Cindy

Well...I am glad its over that is the best part, Its Over!!! however it is just the beginning of my journey. It is so true that walking helps you feel so much better, helps the gas! It is an incredible journey thats for sure, I wish I was further along, but that will come.

Well it could be alot worse, that is what I keep telling myself, but its going ok, this is last day before surgery. I am leaving in an hour for a 3  1/2 hour drive for my first pre-op appointment, wondering how Dee is , she is having her surgery today with same Doctor. I cannot wait until my personal journey starts, so on that note off I go to load car and get ready. Have a wonderful day....God Bless

P.S.      J EL L O will probably never cross my lips again after this
