I'm a happy jellybean!

I had a nice email exchange with the dietician today!  We talked about so much and we cleared up sooo many questions I had.  The best news was that she told me because of my VSG and because I am now over 3 weeks out I don't have to take chewable vitamins or crush my pills anymore!!  I am soooo super happy about this!  We talked also about my low iron problem and she suggested I supplement with Feramax 150 at this point and I was so happy because I already had it on hand...and I just swallowed a pill whole!  YES!!

I dont' know why this is bringing me such pleasure....it's the small things right!

In other news....I actually managed to get 58.6 grams of protein in today...which is a new high for me!!  i had one 30 gram protein shake and two 1/4 cup servings of pureed tuna salad!  Happy dancing!!

It sounds like you're doing well... and I know the feeling when you could start swallowing pills. It made me so happy not to have to mix them with apple sauce!!!

Continued success!

YAY!  You are sounding so positive.  Congrats on being able to swallow vitamins.  I love it too, so freeing.

 Yay! Victory! That's great Melissa! Celebrating the small things is important! Wtg!

awesome, PJB!! Happy that you're getting things sorted out.

That's awesome news!!!

Just wondering.....why the VSG? Was that your choice and if not, why??

You are doing great!! I hope I am positive like you are when its my turn!! And because of you I started researching the vsg a little more just incase...Keep up the awesomeness you are doing!!

Hi there

You are doing awesome. I know what it feels like with the pills, I actually stopped taking mine for a few weeks after surgery(depression meds and thyroid). Not such a great idea, but opening the capsules and putting it in yogurt.................. GROSS LOL

You are moving along nicely
Amazing how these things we thought small things excite us so much LOL like the pills

Have a great day
