I bought three different Vitamin Patches from the baratric store on here. A multivit, vit b12, vit d. I am 9 weeks post op and my labs a great.

I had Gastric sleeve surgery 11/18/16. Started preop 11/6/16. Starting preop weight was 280, surgery weight 267. I am 9 weeks post op and now weigh 237. That is a weight loss of 43lbs. I have gone from size 26/28 jeans to 20 and from 3xl shirts to xl. I am proud I have lost 43lbs; but I am getting discouraged. I am eating 800 calories a day, 20-40 carbs, 30-50 grams protein, drinking 60-120oz of water a day. I either do 1 hour of exercise at the gym or walk 2.5-3 miles every day. I am having problems with BM and I am having to eat 1 cup of Activa each day and take dulcolax once a week to even have one BM. I know I need more protein but can not drink the protein shakes or do the protein powder. Have tried numerous times and get very sick from them. I have only lost 1-2 lbs the last two weeks. I need some support on what can I do to get in more protein(cheese is out because of the constipation issue) and what can I do to get weight loss started back on a steady larger amount? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was 8 weeks post op on friday and I started the gym at 6 weeks. I exercise for 1hr and 30 mins two-three days a week. On the days I do not go to the gym I walk 2 miles. I feel better when I exercise.

Where did you find them at?

That is my same problem. I am 7 weeks post op vsg and just started working out at the gym. 7 weeks I have lost 40lbs. But my thighs and calves are very fat and I can not find boots to fit. Did you do exercises to lose in calves?

I use three patches. 1 multivit, 1 b12, 1 vit d

I get dumping syndrome even when I eat salad. The get hot, flush,sweaty, nausea, stomach pain.

Who did ur surgery

Friday, December 16, 2016 I was 4 weeks post op VSG. I have lost 31lbs. I feel great and I am walking. Sleeping on my stomach again. I eat most any healthy food I want but since surgery I can not eat eggs or cereal in milk. I have joined the gym and will start working out the week after Christmas. I am still having a time with constipation. Twice a week I am now having to take a dulcolax and every day I chew a fiber. If anyone is thinking about having sleeve procedure it is the best thing I ever did. Will keep you posted. When I reach 6 months I will post pics.

Proud of you. Just shows you are strong and what u set your mine too you can do. Wish you the best

Thank you Ginsin007 and Dknal2. It is work in progress but I feel so much better. Just trying to get my energy back.

I went to Tijuana on Nov 17th and had surgery Nov 18th. Best thing I ever did. No problems. Two weeks post op yesterday and I have lost 25lbs.

I went Obesity Goodbye and had Dr. Verboone as my surgeron. Great experience. I am on my flight back home now and had surgery Friday. A little sore but no pain.

Flew to Tijuana on Thursday, November 17 and had surgery on Friday, November 18th. I am flying home on Sunday, November 20th. Everything went great the first night after surgery and the day after were the worse with pain and gas pain. Going home today and pain is not bad. The blue liquid you have to drink for test and the clear liquid for second test is nasty. You will do fine.

Had my sleeve surgery yesterday at 5:00pm Mexico time. At first I thought I had made a mistake because the pain was so bad. Today it is not as bad, still have drain in and it will be removed tomorrow. I have a 6 hour flight home tomorrow after fluor test. I have had nothing by mouth since 9:30 Thursday night. I will get ice chips today and I am looking forward to that. Gas-x strip have helped with gas pain. I have been walking off and on since 4 hours after surgery.

I am in Tijuana tonight waiting to have sleeve in the morning. Dr Sergio Verboone is doing. Great so far

Tomorrow is my big day. I am currently in flight to Mexico for gastric sleeve in the morning.

The Primier Protein shakes makes my stomach hurt and makes me nauseous. I order some unflavored genpro today. I am on the preop diet and will have surgery Friday, November 18th.

What did you put it in?

What was your surgery weight? Sleeve November 18th

The problem I am having is the chalky sweet taste of the premier strawberry creme. I think I need to try something unflavored. What do you mix yours with? Sleeve November 18th

I am scheduled for my sleeve on November 18th. I currently on my preop diet which consist of sf Jello, broth, Water, and Protein shakes.
