I just started using the multivitamin patch yesterday, I have blood work due in two weeks. Time will tell. My nutritionist said as far as the medical community is concerned the verdict is still out on these. She said some people have seen great success with them and others are still coming back deficient. But she said they're definitely worth a shot.

It should be pretty easy for me. I am scheduled to work and even have overtime on Thanksgiving. Sooooo, probably won't be that many food temptations for me.

YES!!! I am constantly freezing. And living in Washington State our winters have a tendency to be a touch on the cold side. Not looking forward to this winter.

I have the same thing now if I take too big of a sip. Have to take it real slow.

Congrats on your surgery! I however have not had the experience you describe.

You will get some real varying answers but for me at two weeks I had lost 13 pounds. I have averaged about a pound a day since my surgery.

Nutritionist suggested I add nuts to my diet since I was struggling to get in enough calories. Actually it's helped my weight loss so far. Time will tell. I weigh out my servings and count them in my daily goals.

Congrats! Good luck during your surgery!

Getting ready to head off to work, thought I'd get a before and after pic since it's been a while. I'm approaching 100lbs lost. 97 as of this morning.

Added!

Awesome! Nice to hear others sharing how much of a game changer this surgery and lifestyle change can be!

I wasn't given any guidelines on that but I found it uncomfortable to lay in any other position for a while. But then again I was a back sleeper anyway.

Awesome! Keep it up!

Congrats!!! Praying for a speedy recovery for you!

Wow congrats!!!

Really examine what you're doing. Journaling your food, being strict to the diet, not cutting any corners. Not advancing too fast through the stages. Walking. If all of that is in line just keep on the narrow road. It will come off.

Congrats on your decision to make the change!!! I know a lot of people are bummed when they find out they have to do 6 months of weight loss. It was a very important 6 months for me. It let me build habits that are helping me be successful. It's all a process, take full advantage of every step! The surgery is just 1 small part. My timeline was about 8 months before I was able to get my surgery. The 6 months plus working appointments around my work schedule then scheduling surgery. Even at 8 months I felt kind of rushed at the end.

Each day should get easier and easier! Congrats! Walk walk walk

I get isopure drinks at GNC. 40g of protein in 20oz. So I get in a good chunk of liquids and protein just from that, then I eat the rest of my protein. One of my issues is getting in enough liquids so this has been a good help. I stop eating when I'm full, pushing on is how I got to be obese.

I was sleeved on September 2nd and on October 7th I was riding again without pain. I do believe Pete may be one of the biggest fans of my weight loss! Lol!!!

How'd it go?

Awesome! Your progress is inspiring!
