3 Months out!

Hi all,

Just wanted to give my 3 month update....So i've lost a total of 62 LBS, which i'm super excited about. I still have a long ways to go, but i know i'll get there at some point.  :) Eating has been pretty painless as well. I don't seem to have many intolerances although i do get gassy if i have anything carby.  I do my best to stay away from the carbs anyway! I tend to eat lots of cheeses and meats and I love LOVE the dried Italian meats.  I think because I eat so little now, and the flavor of them is so strong it makes me feel more satisified. Hard to explain but i'm sure most of you get it! Vitamins have been the hardest thing for me because after surgery I got this horrible gag reflex. so anytime I take a vitamin i mostly just spit it up.  I'm struggling majorly with this and could really use some advise.  I'm currently taking everything i can in the chewable form.  does anyone know of any small pills I can take to get my vits in?  Any advise would be really appreciated!  Thanks for all the great advise you guys are all great!

Congrats on your weight loss! I'm going to be watching this because I also can't keep down my multi. Even halved it hits my gag reflex and comes back up. :-l

Congratulations on your success.

For me, capsules go down easier than tablets. I have problems with calcium for a year or so before surgery and afterwards, could not do zinc or copper. Right now, most everything I take is in capsule form except my multivit and Proferrin, I still use Upcal calcium citrate powder that I put in my shakes and supplement with calcium chews.

Hope you find something that works for you.

Congrats on your WL so far. On the vits, when are you taking them ? After or before food ? Earlier out I found it easiest to take them before food, about 10-20 minutes before. I would be wanting food, swallow the vits, and wait a bit and then eat. It worked for me, although I am not sure it was a gag reflex, just did not have the room for them early out. By month 5 or 6 it was no issue at all.

Those vits are important.. try to shake up the schedule and find a time that works.
