Topic: RE: Seriously jonesin' for salt!

I had the same issue.  I found the bouillon packets/cubes helped with my craving.  I know they have more sodium but at that point, I just didnt care.  Patience with the process was also what I had to accept. I remember having this irrational urge for bacon during that time lol.  Best of luck!

Topic: Seriously jonesin' for salt!

I an on day 9 of my post op liquid diet and am jonesin' bad for salt. So many things I can have, yogurt, vitamin water, are all sweet. I don't like the sweet. I have tried some of those box liquid soups and they are so bland. Even chicken broth (low sodium) is flat.

What can I have??

Topic: RE: Having a hard time with pre bariatric diet. what's best protein shake?

Someone on another forum shared this link, http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/Bariatric_Protein_Powders_s/6.htm

you can apparently get samples of different brands before committing to a large quantity. So far, all whey based shakes make me nauseous. So, I can't recommend a brand. Hopefully this site will be helpful.

I have one but haven't tried it yet. Do you keep the zucchini raw?

Topic: Still not getting full like I though

June 2nd vsg I tolerate fluids ,foods. I ate semi solid of two eggs dolup of yogurt on top. I wasn't to full but I didn't eat anything else but two hours later I was hungry again. I feel like I'm fighting the same battle before the surgery if its head hunger is still hunger which means it's no different I'm getting very frustrated I really thought that I was going to feel something different and I'm not everybody keep saying its head hunger its head Hunger weather atted hunger or real hunger its hunger nevertheless and it's still horrible I thought with this surgery and have some kind of a relief and it's just as much as a battle before the surgery and after not so sure I did the right thing. the 18 pounds that I lost was due to me starving it had nothing to do with my please or using my sleeve for restriction and better choices of food it was starvation so I can't credit my sweetie for those 18 pounds we'll see how it goes. Ugh

Topic: Vitamin D

I am taking Vitamin D3 (50,000) once a day along with Vitamin K, but my vitamin D level is still very low. (It did go from 22 to 30 after adding the vitamin K.) Should I also add calcium to the mix for better results? Does anyone take more than 1 50,000 vit. D pill a day? Thanks.
