Calcium citrate I have been off of the chewable's now for 2 wks. I just stopped in my hospitals pharmacy and asked what they had because I was told a lot of times they have the cheapest. I now have these horse pills, that I bought a pill cutter for by the generic brand called Major Calcitrate...

I started taking my chewable calcium 500-600 mg 3 times a day right away along with my mult-vitamin with iron also (Flinstones) twice a day but keep 2 hrs in between both of them as you will need these supplements to stay healthy. I won't lie the 3 wks are rough getting in liquids and protein in...

Congrats I'm 2 wks out. I had a private room also which was nice. I didn't have any pain other than the incisions being tender. I get to graduate to pureed food on Monday. I have tried a few already in the past wk as the full liquid stage gets old. So far so good everything has digested and I...

I was on a high protein diet before I went into surgery. I weighed all my food. I cut out carbs and dairy and I lost 20 lbs. I could only have 1/2 c. of starches and fruits with no sugar added unless it was stevia. Peas and corn are considered a starch. I could eat all the vegetables I wanted. I...

If it makes you feel better I had to wait almost 2 1/2 yrs. for mine as my insurance denied me and we had to appeal it. So hang in there! Going once a month for weigh in was a long process but look I am now almost 2wks out. Have faith.

I hear on sweet stuff they gag me. The carnation instant breakfast with out sugar added that I have to add non-fat dry milk to are gross sweet tasting. I kicked out cream of wheat was also yucky. So yes I have been struggling to get the protein and liquids in as you. So I went to the store and...

Hope you start to feel better. Hugs...Thanks for describing what this episode was; as we are all learning along the way. I have tried applesauce with pears and Bear creek creamy potato soup made with flakes and so far so good. Went to the store tonight to buy Campbell bean with bacon healthy...

After being a human pin cushion in the hospital. (& That's no joke my arms are bruised & sore!)I have been home 24 great hours. It felt great to get a shower today. Things are going good just have to get all my liquids in. It's a challenge as I don't have an appetite but I know that it's...

After being a human pin cushion I am back home and showered. Everything is going fine except for getting all the liquids in. As having no appetite is something to get used to.

Oh wow thanks for these!

Well good luck with your journey we will have to compare notes. I have mine the day before you.

Thanks, Yeah the winter bites here! I see you lost about 50# so far congrats! I have to go buy a scale yet.

Well good luck sounds like we are on the same time frame will have to compare notes as we progress.

Wow what a powerful story!

I found that the Weight Loss for Dummies cookbook has some helpful stuff in it. I bought it from Amazon.
