My Gastric Bypass Journey -Onwards and Upwards-Well this is a start

[shelbell]

Hey Ols, my surgeon recommends all patients take FORCEVAL vitamin and mineral capsules (on prescription). They are HUGE but he says they break down in the pouch. Might be worth discussing with GP? On top of those I have to have calcichew twice a day and ferrous fumerate twice a day.

Hey Ols (sorry to hijack again Mandy!!) I had Berocca multi vits recomended - get them in supermarkets - they are not cheap but are dissolveable in water and make a yummy orange drink which in my mind is better than struggling with a capsule/tablet x

 

[Olsbols]

Hiya... Ali, I got some of that Berocca stuff before my op as it's buy one get one half price in Superdrug!!! Thanks for the reminder

Mandy... I am veggie so can't take capsules

I will have a word with my GP and see what she can come up with. If not, I will crush my Tesco one's and have them in some honey or smooth PB

Afternoon Everyone.............

Well didnt do very much this weekend, did a car boot on Sunday, made a fair bit so was pleased with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The thing is my weight is not moving at all, still being sick.......... and at the moment i am regretting having this op!!!!!

I know it is only because of how I am feeling, Sorry to upset or annoy anyone, but i always go around as though everything is fine, and it isnt how i am feeling deep down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soory

 

[mandy-1975]

To add to all that spoke to my sister this morning! and she told me she had a huge argument with my mother becuase my mother was talking to her about me and somehow she has got to know that I had the bypass and she was quizzing my sister and my sister refused to tell her anything...........

I know some of you have great relantionships with your mothers and I crave for that but unfortunaetly my mother isnt loving or caring!!!!!!!!

Now I feel even worse!!!!!!!!!!!! just want to cry and run away.........

 

[alliecat]

Sending you big hugs Mandy - you are not having the easiset day by the sounds of things! Sorry you are still not feeling well, but 64lbs is still a huge loss and you should be very proud of that!!! Stay positive hun, things will look better soon, and as for your mum - it is what you think that counts, you are a mature, responsible and caring adult and don't let anyone bring you down or tell you otherwise xxxxxx

 

[mandy-1975]
