    It's been a roller coaster for me. Sleeved on 9/10 I spent 3 days in hospital to return 2days later for another 3 days. Then I thought I was on my way to recovery when I was readmitted -I spent 10 days in the hospital for a very serious bowel obstruction. I've been home almost three weeks and finally able to move around. Weight loss? It is in a stall I have lost only three pounds in the last two weeks. I feel crazy frustrated and even though I know I need to just work my way through ( there is no going back) I dream about a time machine so I could go back and not do this! I'm also struggling with Vitamins. Anybody got ideas for a swallowable multi-vit? Trying many none has really worked. Thanks for listening and any advice is welcome.

    Try liquid vitamins. They absorb better. I use Centrum. You will get past that feeling of regret once you start to feel better. I feel like that from time to time but as I get better I don't feel like that so much anymore. Sorry you are having such a rough time. :( Just take it one day at a time.

    I am struggling too my darling. I am an emotional rollercoaster' date=' worried about everything.. what I'm eating.. what I'm drinking.. what if I do this, what if I dont do that.. blah blah. I'm only down 15lbs in 3 weeks and I wanted faster results. I just bought some premeir Protein Shakes from sams club. they are 30g of Protein in one small tasty shake. 2 of those and I have just about met my protein goals. I am hoping this speeds things up for me. I still have some pain but its going away slowly. I get frustrated, I get overwhelmed, I get regrettful.. Its part of the journey and I have to believe that it will get better and it actually is day by day. If you ever need someone to talk to.. message me and I will be there for you at the drop of a hat. I understand what you are going through and I am going through the same thing. hugs![/quote']

    Thank you so much for that. It has been really difficult. Sometimes I feel so defeated. I want to do this right. I've lost. Just 22 pounds after all of the weeks of liquid and soft diets. I've been walking everyday and it is working so far. I can't wait for 8 weeks! Ugh!

    I was sleeved on June 18' date=' 2013 at 365 pounds. This morning I weighed in at 275. I walk for an hour about 5 times a week and I also do a high impact cardio workout daily. I was told that AA's skin bounce back quickly, but after losing 90 pounds, I'm certain that I am going to need plastics. Other factors such as age, genetics and health also play a huge part in the skin's ability to bounce back. I plan on getting a personal trainer to guide me as far as weight training, but my doc told me that after your skin has been stretched out so far, it's nearly impossible to get it back to its original state.[/quote']

    I was told by my nurse that if you exfoliate and use plenty of skin cream it helps with the blood circulation and elasticity in your skin. Plus drinking plenty of Water. Just a suggestion. Good luck.
