Hey June sleevers, we're 2 months away from our one year, how is everyone doing? I've lost a total of 94 lbs, though it feels great I am still 40lbs away from my goal. I did slack off on working out consistenly, taking my Vitamins for the past 2 months which resulted in a stall. But I'm glad to say that I am back on track and now I'm hoping to loose the last 40lbs by my birthday in August. I hope everyone's journey has been great so far.

Thank u everyone...wishing u all success as well on this journey!

70lbs down, 70lbs to go!!!

What type of Vitamins do they have you taking?

I have B12 sublingual, Iron chewable, calcium citrate chewable,Vitamin B-1 Thiamin capsule, Complete multi formula that has B complex and D3 chewable and Dry Vitamin D capsule.

I take "Flinstone Complete" chewable Vitamins. I take B12 once a week. All my labs have been normal and my NUT told me the flinstone complete is all that I would need.

Really? I have like 6 different Vitamins that my surgeon had me order from Bariatric Advantage. But I have to find a way to get all that in easier. Thanks!

not taking your Vitamins can result in losing your teeth and bone fractures' date=' as well as multiple other issues... get back on them girl! lol[/quote']

Oh wow, I definitely don't want to loose my teeth or break any bones.. That's scary. This is motivation to get back on track..Thanks!

Im 4 months post op I'm down 66 lbs and feeling fine. I feel guilty because I haven't been taking my Vitamins. The only one I take occasionally is B12, and that's 3-4 times a week. I'm going to get back on track with taking all of my vitamins. Im going to buy different kinds of vitamins, its hard to tolerate the ones i have from Bariatric Advantage. But I'm just wondering if anyone else have a hard time keeping up with their vitamins and does that contribute to Hair loss?

I was sleeved 6/25, down 54 lbs and too excited:) I still have 88lbs to reach my goal weight, but it feels so good to be on my way there. Finally can afford a trainer, starting my first 1st session with him today!

Ambitious... but I know what I have to do to get there, stepping up my workout, drinking more Water and work on getting more Protein. Good luck everyone!

317-surgery date 6/25

276-current weight

Total 41 lbs down in almost 8 weeks.

I'm approaching my 7 weeks and the weight loss has definitely slowed down. I initially stalled at 3 weeks. It picked back up at 5 weeks and it's only been 2 to 3 lbs a week since. But everyone goes thru stalls it normal. Everyone is different so there's no telling how long your stall will last, but one thing I'm certain of is that you will start loosing weight again. Thanks to your sleeve your food intake is significantly less than what your body is use to. If your getting your Protein, enough fluids and eating the right things along with exercise, you are sure to pick back up soon. I'm not gonna lie and say that I wasn't feeling like I'm not loosing fast enough, but someone posted on here, we didn't gain this weight overnight, it took years for us to get where we are so we can't expect to loose it overnight. That made me realize that this is a journey. Best wishes to you!

I'm 4 weeks out and stalled last week at 27lbs since surgery. So I stepped up Cardio I walk about 3 miles at least 5 days out the week. I'm only able to get about 500 calories a day and about 30 grams of Protein and barely any carbs. I weighed in yesterday and I'm now down 33 lbs. I was nervous too when I was stuck at 27lbs, but a lot of ppl said they experience the same around 3rd and 4th week. Keep up your cardio and once the dr releases us to exercise we'll be doing more to drop the lbs. Best wishes!

Yeah. You're right. It's a trigger thing with me when someone says something and the inevitable "Stop Judging" response comes. People have different ways of supporting people. I think it's up to the person who asks the question' date=' which one they should take to heart and act on.

Opinion only: People should not bother getting hurt over what veritable strangers post on a forum. If you don't like the tone of the advice or the advice, then don't take it.

As for myself, I need to "get over myself" and stop replying ad nauseam about whether "tough love" or "kid gloves" is the best way to support a person.

I do think my daughter and her ticket was a good analogy though

Okay, from here on out -- I'll see how I do. Call me on it if you care to :-)[/quote']

I've said what I needed to. Thought that was pretty clear with my last post. I guess not!!!

One thing we can all agree as adults is that we are all entitled to our opinions, so who wants to be judgmental can do that, and who wants to call those ppl judgemental can do that and those who doesn't care either way and feels like we need to get over ourselves is prob right. Lol.

"Judgmental" seems to be the new buzz word for saying something someone does not want to hear.

One shouldn't feel all warm and fuzzy about something they shouldn't have done. That's what keeps you from doing it again. I'll take that risk. I take those with my daughter and have been her whole life. Like the time she got a speeding ticket and was upset. I certainly didn't pat her hand and make her feel good about it.

What is it with having to feel good about everything?

Lol...you seem pretty worked up as if I called you judgmental personally. And totally disagree that judgmental is synanomous with something that one doesn't want to hear. If you read my post closely, I said there are things that needs to be said, unfortunately some people lack the ability to do so constructively without coming off as judgmental. Also, comparing your child getting a speeding ticket to us dealing with our transitions post sleeve just seems a bit ridiculous. You can speak to your child however you please because that's your child. But when your speaking to another adult, choose what you say wisely. Forgive me that I'm worried about the emotional aspect of judging and criticizing someone for making a mistake as well as the physical consequences from those mistakes. As I said, for the most part, people are supportive on here, and for that I'm thankful.

No one is perfect and I agree that sometimes the tone of some can come across as judgmental.

Life post sleeve isn't easy for everyone. I know there things that should be said, but it's just how you say it. Some of us had a harder time transitioning than others. I dont want to risk saying something that would make anyone feel worst than they probably already do.

This site has been mostly about support and encouragement for me and that's what I like about it.

I know that we can all do this, let's keep our eyes on the prize. Best wishes to you all.

To get the best results my nutritionist advised me to stay away from carbs/starch. No potatoes, rice, pastas and she was ok with Beans. I know I'm not gonna go the rest of my life not eating any starch, however I'm definitely staying away until I reach my goal weight then occasionally have starches.

I was sleeved that week too and still have pain on right side... Any of you have that pain?

No, haven't had pain since the 2nd week. You may wanna check with your surgeon to make sure that's ok. Everybody heals differently so it may be totally normal. Hope your pain subsides soon!

I was sleeved 6/25. I'm down 27 lbs and have been on a stall the last week. Stepping up my Cardio and hoping I get over this hump.
