Topic: RE: Vitamin help needed - B-complex
I do not take the B-100.

I take the following:
B-12
Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D
d-3
Magnesium
Multi Vitamin-GNC
Iron carbonyl

Also take fish oil and probiotics.

I am not sure what the B-100 is for.  There are a couple of whiz kids on the RNY forum that can help you though.

Topic: Vitamin help needed - B-complex
Hi

I had surgery in Park Rapids, Mn and they have me on a multi vitamin 2 x day, B-12 once day and calcuim tablets how ever many times a day.  I am also suppose to take a B-100 complex vitamin once a day.  That is where I am having issues...

I had a capsule that I took the powder out to mix with something to take.  It was horrible.  So I found a liquid vitamin from Swanson's health...oh my that is almost worse.  I can't stand the smell or the taste even after I mix it with something.  I have always had a problem with stuff like that.  I literally gag the minute I smell it let alone taste it.  Not pleasant.  

I was wondering what kind of vitamins everyone takes and if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations on what I could try.  I have asked my dietician also and am waiting to hear back from her. 

Thanks!

Congrats!! 

Doesn't it seem weird that we are happy to be labeled overweight?  But when you are labeled obese, overweight is a blessing! haha

Good job and keep on going!

Topic: I am Overweight
Well,

I just hit that point where my BMI now puts me at moderately overweight.  It is important to me because it marks a point of progress.  Going from a BMI of 40.2 to 29.9 helps me to stay motivated.

I know that it is not the only thing but it is a little WOW moment for me.

Has anyone hiked the grasslands before?  I would like to do that, but am not sure where to start.  If you have let me know where you started, etc.

I workout indoors whether it be walking at the mall, going to the gym to lift weights or do aerobic exercise (kick boxing, personal trainer, treadmill, etc.)  Some people also go swimming.

I apologize for not being there.  And I was so gung ho about having one in the FM area too.  I just was able to start back to work on Wednesday and have went right back to full time and trying to play catch up on the piles of work that was left for me.  Guess it is called job security. : )  

I am definitely looking forward to meeting everyone cause I am sure I have tons of questions for all of you! And will be great to know other experiences also.

Topic: RE: 3 1/2 months out and...............
for me the diet was easy it was quiting all my addictions that drove me crazy.

I too wanted the sleeve done but my bmi was not high enough.  insurance wouldn't cover it because of that. 

Just take the 2 weeks  of diet one day at a time and pray pray pray. 

Dr. Helbling is wonderful in my opinion he is the best.  I only wish I could have him for  my pcp but that is not possible,  

You will do fine.
