Maybe ask your doctor about taking one more for work. Or maybe half of one to get you by. Make sure you space them out well! I have my first at 630am before work, I drink my second one about 130, then so I am not hungry at night, I wait til 730 for my last one. And it seems to work, I am not...

Hi all.... its me again! I was just wanting to see how the ones that have had the surgery (gastric bypass, but any will help) How you are taking your vitamins? I tried grinding the multi-vit and the calcium into my shake.. But it tastes HORRIBLE! Shake is way more tolerable with out them. Any...

That's what I am thinking, I am sooo, not a planner, but I guess I better start planning. My fiancé is real good about helping out. I am not too worried, but he works full time, so I don't want to put too much on him. I noticed your surgery date is the same as my pre-op date... Good luck!

I have never been a big salt eater, so unless there is already salt in the food, I don't add salt. I never salt my meat, or veggies. So Salt shouldn't be a huge issue either. I also have an irregular menstrual cycle, sometimes I think I can be premenstrual for like 2 weeks... so I hope that...
