I already asked. They said I am not allowed whole pills until 3 months postop.

I am with you. I have to take 2 GIGANTIC chewable Multivitamins a day and cannot wait until I can just swallow it down. I don't use Calcium gummies, but got caramel flavored calcium chews from the surgeon's office. They are by Bariatric Advantage.

You don't HAVE to use the artificial sweeteners. You can drink plain Water without adding the Crystal Lite in. That is my preference.

I am from Ohio! I had my surgery at St. V's in Toledo.

Good luck!!! I know how excited/nervous you are. I was sleeved on 3/9 and without even thinking about it, was sitting at a softball game on Friday and realized I was sitting there with my legs crossed! What a feeling! I haven't been able to do that for...well, who knows how long it was. I was so excited when I realized what I was now able to do.

I was sleeved on 3/9.

I was sleeved on 3/9. The first day I felt horrible. I woke up the next morning and felt 100% better, other than just being really tired.

I am just over 5 weeks postop. The pain in my knees is all but gone, I no longer snore, my clothes are getting loose. No. No regrets.

I have not lost ANYTHING in the last 3 weeks. I had my sleeve on 3/9. I just hung up from my surgeon's office and they told me I am not allowed to step on the scale until I come to their office next week. I think it is normal.

peacheeie - Ohhh...good luck! I am hoping for NOT another surgery for you!

Peacheeie, I go back to my surgeon next week. He told me at my 2 week postop that I was doing great, but uh....I haven't lost even an ounce since then. What happens if your sleeve is larger than a normal one?

I am just over 5 weeks out from surgery. I went to the surgeon for my 2 week post op visit and have not lost a single pound since then. I am freaking out. I can tell I am shrinking somewhat but how is it possible for me to maintain my weight on what I am taking in now. I go back to the surgeon next week and am really worried he is going to think I am eating things I am not supposed to be.
