Quick Pill Survey

1. How far out are you post-op?

2. what's your restriction w/ food like?

3. Can you swallow whole pills, like vitamins?

I ask b/c the last 2 days I've had some uncomfortableness after taking my vitamin. I know the first 30 days I had to do a gummy one. But I assumed once I'm all healed I can do regular ones again b/c I don't think the opening is THAT small. I dunno. I took my multivitamin like 3 hrs ago and still feel this weird bulge in my esophogus! uhhh!

Peaches & Creme,

    with my program I was told no pills. Only liquids and chewables. So that's what I take. Haven't chanced the whole ones yet.

    3. I take an asthma pill every night and crushed it for 4 weeks after surgery but then started taking it whole. Although, this week I'm back to crushing....too scared not to since i feel really tight.

    I am not allowed to have pills neither, they need to be either crushed or in liquid form. I am taking liquid vitamins for now. Best of luck on your journey, you are doing great.

    I am a year out and pills still give me trouble. When I have to take a Tylenol I split them in half and they go down a lot easier. As far as vitamins go...I still do the gummy ones.

    wWOW! I'M surprised b/c my surgeon or nutritionist never specified. I will email my nutritionist about this b/c I need some "counseling" on if I can take some xtra vitamins and stuff.

    I had a problem that one day w/ a vitamin and have yet to have one since then. So I guess it's not really a "probleM" yet.

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
