    I am out a 1 1/2 years and I never had a "dumping problem" but I have had food get stuck. I still have sweets a little to much lately but everyone is different. I think the most important thing is to pay attention to your body it shows you signs.

    I am so struggling right now I did great the first year. I lost so much weight in the first couple of months after surgery almost 80 Ibs. I gain about 10 pounds and I am truly so depressed over it. My old eating habits are coming back but I am most differently not over eating. I have lost my motivation to go to the gym too. What do I need to do to get my mojo back?

    I need help what Vitiamns do I need to take? I stopped taking them and need to start up again.

      My nutritionist had me on a bariatric multi-vitamin, calcium +D3, liquid B12, and a probiotic. Make sure you don't take the calcium at the same time as your mult-vitamin. Calcium and Iron compete for absorption.

    2. MowryRocks

      MowryRocks

      I am on a multi -vitamin, iron, B-12, and calcium (citrate, not carbonate)

    3. MoLiver4u

      MoLiver4u

      2x a day a multivitamin with minerals - no gummies unless they are bariatric specific

      3x a day 500mg calcium citrate (Separate from iron)

      1x a day 50mg Vitamin B1

      1x a day 5000 Vitamin D3 (combine what's in multi with whatever you need to reach this)

      1x a day for pre-menopausal women 60mg Iron with Vitamin C (not within an hour of Calcium as this blocks absorption.) Post menopausal woman should have this 3x a week.

      5000mg a week of vitamin B12 oral dissolving, NOT capsules.

       

      I think many doctors are different but this is what Kaiser told me I needed

    I have 26 more pounds until I reach my goal weight!!!

    Did you find love again?

    Lisa_85 replied to chynadoll619's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    My EX Mooched off me.... I saw the signs and chose not act because he was the first guy to show me attention after I lost my weight. I rather be alone then have someone treat me like that... I mean we lost this weight for a reason right? I don't need someone to knock me down when I was down on myself for all these years. We need a man that is going to lift us up and encourage us and love us unconditional because we deserve better!!!

    Has anyone got prescribed a diet pill after having their sleeve done.

      I'm hoping that my days of diet pills are over. I did take Phentermine during my six month pre-op diet program, but there is no need for it since the surgery.

      some of my best weight loss came when i was doing spin class.... it is brutal...

    3. MrsSugarbabe

      Any and all physical activity is good for you :)

      I can't get my heart rate up enough on a bike so I prefer to use the elliptical machine - it doesn't bother my knees, hips, or back, which is key, and I can get into my target heart rate relatively quickly depending on the level I'm working at.

    4. Newme17

      Newme17

      Absolutely! Go for it!!! :)

      I thought it was just me! Certain flavors of Crystal Light make me feel so bloated and sometimes I get that full feeling like I ate too much and I have to vomit.

    4. MrsSugarbabe

      MrsSugarbabe

      I concur with @JamieLogical :)

      Have you tried a store brand of the sugar-free drink mixes? I use Great Value all the time for numerous flavors. They are a lot less costly and taste great in my opinion. About the only time I feel too full from a liquid is if I sip on something too soon after eating a meal. Sometimes I get impatient and am just so thirsty that I'll take a sip or two about 15 minutes after the meal and almost immediately regret those sips. The feeling passes, but it still doesn't feel good.

      I've been cheating A LOT. But I'm still not gaining. Maybe it's because I portion it? Ugh, I still need to do better. :/

       

      Good luck!
