I am in line with the other "slow pokes" sleeved Dec 8. 5'11" and just a smidgen under 250 on surgery day, and 221.8 on last scale, so 28-ish pounds gone.

Work folks are seeing a change. It is more than 10% of my body weight gone. That's not nothing. I saw no change on the scale for the last 10 days, but I did feel it in my pants. The muffin tops are melting.

I'm getting enough Protein and I'm improving on Water intake, but its constantly reminding myself to drink.

What I'm eating now is not what I thought I would be. eggs and beef are not good. Fish is great. And undercooked goes down better than well done. 900 calories a day is what I'm getting.

And I'm drunk on half a glass of wine. That's new. And I mean DrUnK.

So what is everyone eating now days ????

Thanks... I'm hard on myself

I don't have a lot of full body shots but maybe when I get to my goal weight I'll have more! I love seeing all the pictures they give my hope and excitement for the future!

Hello everyone I Was sleeved. Dec 3,15 and my weight the day of surgery was 260. Today I weighed in at 232 so that's 28 pounds lost... I feel like the weight is coming off slow???? but I haven't been sticking to the Protein shakes... Do you think that's why... Please share your progress here ...

I have a slight fever my body is really weak... I haven't been getting enough fluids ... Do you think I'm dehydrated

When was your surgery? I couldn't get my chewables down either for the first month. They tasted so chalky and nasty. My plan didn't allow me to swallow a pill bigger than a pencil eraser until I was on solid foods (which was 8 weeks for me). Do you have a nutritionist or bariatric advisor that you can talk to? He/she should be able to help you find some other options or at least let you know when you can progress to a tablet. It does get easier. Hang in there!

Patchmd.com ... It's a life saver for me. chewable vitamins made me gag.. My NUT told me about them. Now I just stick a patch on the back of my shoulder and forget about it till I change it the next day

I purchased Multivitamin from the advantage bariatric website and after chewing one I feel so sick to my stomach I start to gag I hate taking these Vitamins so in the past couple of days I haven't taken any I also have the calcium citrate chocolate chewables and I just hate taking those as well and I just haven't been taking my vitamins how long until I can just take regular pills instead of doing chewables. Somebody please help

Try a peer to peer

I was sleeved 12/3/15 and I have tried tuna and crackers... Baked chicken and mashed sweet potatoes, cottage cheese and string cheese... I can't get much in... Most importantly try to get your Protein Shakes in

Also boiled and scrambled eggs

Are you eating soils foods yet?

Solids

I can't wait! I have my 3rd appointment of the insurance required 6 tomorrow!

I had my surgery 12/3 and nobody was there with me... I was sleep most of the time... Make sure you have a ride from the hospital

@@Joymarie333, yes.

My belly button looks really ugly now???? if so, did your belly button get heal back to normal

So would it be ok to eat apple sauce or chicken Soup blended purified?

I was sleeved 12/3 and just trying to get my Protein and Water down is a challenge.. When should I start with the calcium citrate?

If I take gas x chewable help

Deep breath! Yes...the Oxycodone definitely helps. I'll be 2 weeks post-op tomorrow...and have managed primarily with liquid Tylenol and liquid Ibuprofen.

Immediately post-op, do yourself a HUGE favor and "splint your abdomen" by hugging a pillow each time you have to get up out of bed...This will save you lots of pain and unnecessary stress on your belly muscles. Remember, one of your incisions on the left side of your tummy will be the one where your surgeon has to pluck out the 80-85% of your old stomach...so you're going to have some sore spots.

I had 6 lap-incisions...but the only 1 that hurt was the one where my excised stomach was pulled out through.

Make sure to faithfully do your incentive spirometry (metered inhalations, to help decrease any risk of post-op pneumonia)...and get up and WALK ASAP...

You'll be fine, hon!

Keep us posted as you recover!

Hello everyone my surgery is tomorrow and I'm so nerves... I'm just scared of the pain I don't want to be in to much pain. My doctor prescribed acetaminophen-codeine 120-12 mg/5 for pain. Did anyone have this medication and does it help

Thank you all for your support. ???? I'm feeling much better now

Im feeling stressed I'm on day 5????

We will be successful my day is Dec 1st also???? I didn't come this far to go back to eating nasty ass fast food.. So stay strong and don't worry
