Funny, my Dr said I can have a cup of coffee a day...

I was sleeved June 8th, and my Dr still won't clear me for anything other than walking...

To me, the drinks I loved before are all so salty now!

Sleevers can't do Ibuprofen! I was shocked when my surgeon told me. I took Alieve daily. Now it's just Tylenol. I did Depo for three years. It caused me to stop having my cycle for the entire time, which caused PCOS.

Here is my first NSV! I am only two weeks out , but I am so happy to have anything to be happy about. I have lost 22.5 post op, total of 46 since pre op. 1. No more staples! 2. No more back pain in the morning! 3. MUST wear a belt with all shorts, or I have to hold my shorts up at the store :-) 4. Seat belt is easier to get on, and easier to get in and out of my car. I can't wait to have more NSV's

I was going to do the patch, but cannot take Tylenol with that product. Sleevers already can't do Ibuprofen, take Tylenol out, nothing would be left!

Just had my two week check up. 22.5lb since June 8th. Total with pre op is 46.5lb. I thought that was low, but Dr was very happy. I'm just glad the staples are out!

Where did you get your surgery done? That paper is just like mine, maybe we got it done through the same Dr, and I can help out a bit.

I have seen a decrease in loss, but usually about a pound a day now. It it's crazy the first few days, the weight just dropped, now it is the slow and steady. I can't wait for the next few months!

Get a prescription for Chantix. Both my husband and I stopped with absolutely no problem in March. This was a requirement of surgery and our adoption. I only needed to take it for about a month, then I stopped. I cab truly say I week never smoke again. In the past, we did child turkey, vape pens, etc. This was amazing!

I started using it before my surgery on a friend's recommendation. I am 2 weeks post op, so fingers crossed

I just had to have him sign off. I also am doing the Flintstones with iron. The cost difference is so with it! He just gave me a break down of the mg that I needed of specific vitamins.

Premier sells chocolate, vanilla, and strawberries and cream. The best price is at Costco. 18 for $25

How is your water intake? Each day my water intake gets easier and easier. At this point, it is hard to get the amount of protein without the shakes

My pain is pretty low as well, the hernia repair was actually worse. The staples are irritating to say the least. Holding my niece is impossible, and things touching them is painful. I get them out on Wed.

My Dr gave me a choice of the bariatric advantage vitamins, or just taking a multi, iron, and calcium. I also take biotin, qo-q10. My monthly total is $17 vs this special vitamin.

Why are your vitamins that much each month?

In addition to weighing my food, I also bought the Ziploc 4 oz containers. These help so much!

I bought 4oz Ziploc containers, this is helping me not have tip weigh everything, but still stay within my guidelines. I usually can't even finish a full 4ozs

Omg, water has gone from a struggle to pretty easy! I was able to get 15oz before breakfast!

There is also a June 8th forum. How are you doing, I can't wait for soft food!

This was my first as well. I asked for an anxiety med during pre op. My nerves were shot. I only remember flashes after that. My husband said it was about 3 hours from when I left him until I was put in my room. My only pain was from my hernia repair. Morphine was a godsend! I slept most of that first day. The second day was so much better. I was walking around, doing water and sleeping.

@@"sleeve4 ever", we r sleeve twins! I have lost 17.5 as of yesterday. Each day is getting easier. @@"chines66" what do you want to know?

I am a middle school teacher. My Dr wanted to schedule for Christmas, but wanted me to take an additional week. I am saving my time for my adoption maternity leave that is also currently in process. I chose to wait until summer. I was sleeved June 8th. I an so glad I have time to get used to my new life! I an just worried about getting enough water and teach. I was joking that I might need a camel pack or use a beer hat (replace with water of course) :-)
