The 10 Most Common Mistakes Weight Loss Surgery Patients Make

(((((((((Marilyn)))))))))) Nice to see your lovely face! What do you mean "kinda" LOL! Gurl.....I can attest to the fact that skimping on the vitamins and suppliments causes issues.....I have memory problems to this day as a result of messing around at the beginning. We must be careful!  

 Hmmm... #10 might be my kryptonite.

Gurl.....I have realized my thresh hold.....2.5 glasses of wine will have me spitting against the wind and calling my mama! Over the last year or so....I have noticed my tolerance change...its a good thing because I used to drink Peach Schnapps and beer. Not that often but often enough to make a difference. Now....I will have a glass of wine every now and then. More so when I am at a social event....ocassionally at home. I have a bottle of White Zin in the frig....that I have not touched in over two weeks....might not even be any good now. I am stocking a little something something for guests but nothing thats tempting.  I was out with a few friends and got sicker than a dog on 2.5 glasses of wine......so I am trying not to mess around too much.   I know what you mean though.

Thanks for sharing this great information.

You're welcome Janice!

#1 kickin my ass...just got a call from my surgeon yesterday that I had some abnormal labs from September.  (ok ok, so I haven't been taking my calcium citrate...I think I can count on 2 hands the number of times Ive taken it since surgery....Im ducking before Mack or sum1 else throws a shoe at me ) My Vitamin D levels are WAY too low...should be at 40..im at 9!!!!   I almost died...thats the reason for the fatigue and also the stall most likely.  I am also low on Vitamin C and Vitamin B-2.  Guess who got a Rx called in for liquid Vitamin D and has to take more vitamins for the next 3 months? That would be me.  I almost had a nervous breakdown...i was like 'so THATS why I cant get rid of these damn pounds!'  I feel better now knowing that it can be fixed, but its still frustrating.  I wont give up though.

Thanks for posting this Mahogany!

Hey Milli!!!


Well...now you know! Give yourself a clean slate and take your vitamins and supplement like your life depends on it.....cause now you know it does. I struggled as well....but now...if I miss just one day....I feel so guilty....cause I know I have already by choice messed up my body to a certain degree due to my earlier neglect!!!  Some things are irreversible....I have to keep this in mind. If I had not been so hard headed at the beginning....I would be in a much better place now....but no sense crying over spilt milk....just pick yourself up by your boot straps...and do the right thing....LOL!!! Did I just use like 10 cliches in one paragraph .... Oh well....you get the point. Take it easy.    

Definitely #7 and #5. I drink about 40-50 ounces per day and I know I can do better...Before WLS I would drink 64+ ounces with no problem.

Hey Gorgeouslsa!

Ummmm...yes getting in those 14 more ounces....is doable. I am certain...you could drink that in the car in route to home at the end of the day.... YOU can do it gurl!!! Water...Water...Water.... thats my little chat...to get you movin...lol!

The ONLY way I am dealing with the exercise is because I have a pumped playlist....it takes me back to the olden days.....You know...songs like...Electricity by Midnight Star and Roll, Bounce.....songs of my youth give me that extra boost that I need to GET over feeling like exercise is TORTURE!

Hell...if I was ever captured by the enemy during any type of war....all they would have to do is show me the threadmill.... to get my arse to talking...I'd give up ALL the secrets...lol!Gawd!!....exercise....but I am doing much better!!!!
