Topic: RE: Don't know what I expected....
In the same boat. I have lost 20lbs and thats it. I thought it would be coming off much faster also..My scale is up and down so I have decided that I am done with it for a while. I'm on puree also and take my foods very well with no problems but getting all my liquids in just does not happen. I'm just gonna go with the flow and see what happens. I dont want to stress over it too much.

omg... I had a scrambled egg w/ broccoli and a tiny slice of swiss on top... it was so yummy.  Then for dinner, my husband grilled burgers-- mine was this itty bitty 2oz juicy thing... I couldve eaten it in 3 bites before surgery. lol  With some grilled veggies.  (He left mine on longer so they were mushier)   It feels so good to be able to eat with my family again!!!

I have been using a gentle iron glycinate 29mg every other day/night...when I remember to take it.
I figure if it's something I actually like the taste of (the Celebrat one is chewable, mine is a capsule) I'm sure to take it more often!

Like over 80% of gastric bypass (with malabsorption) become anemic. I'm not, and I don't want to be! =P

I had half of a scrambled egg, and for dinner that same night I had cream of chicken and mushroom soup. Sounds kinda blah, but it was amazing

Blah - I have a bottle of the orange Celebrate multi's  CANNOT do it.  I just can't stand that texture.  And the vitamin taste.  

I take the Citracal Petites for Calcium.

So, I am guessing I should probably be taking extra iron in addition to what's in my multi?  I use The Walgreens version of Centrum.

Still learning.

Topic: RE: My vitamins
I've tried samples of both - grape - not so hot on those, but the orange were good =) Thing is that I'm okay taking my Costco centrum equivalents. Which is a container of 500, so 250 days....that's a long time!
But definitely something I would consider getting later!

I'm not too big on cream of celery...I don't know. it kinda sounds gross. =P I LOVE actual celery though!!! Guess it will be a long time before I can eat that again =(

I'm glad you had something other than broth!! It feels good, huh???

That ROCKS!!! 


I have several pairs of jeans that I wore back in the 90's..   I don't know why I kept them because I never thought in a million years I would ever get back in them.  I just might though!!!!

Topic: Discomfort, tenderness on left side....
I was feeling SO wonderful.  NO pains at all.  Well, yesterday I wore these dumb blue jeans that are a bit too tight.  Up to then I was wearing my elastic-waisted jeans.  Now I have this dumb pain in the biggest incision spot.  Do you reckon it was from wearing those jeans putting too much pressure there???
