Sleeveforme2017

Thanks for the info! I'm going to do my homework and research the patch. Sounds too good to be true, but hey, if they work, I'll gladly get these. I don't like taking so many pills.

Liquid Vitamins sound.... unfortunate. Sorry! I couldn't stay on top of taking the oral Vitamins post-op, there was too many. I highly recommend the PatchMD patch vitamins. You slap it on, 8 hours later take them off, and that's it. They have a wide variety too (even more on PatchMD.com I believe). All my blood work has come back perfectly using them as it's said you absorb much more from them than you do any sort of oral vitamins.

It's called LaVita. I order it online. Tasty but rather expensive though.

@"Sleeveforme2017", you can read more about them here on their website: https://gettespo.com/
They are a bit pricey, but they taste good, and they have been easy on my stomach, both pre-op and post-op. I prefer liquid vitamins to any others because there are no fillers or additives that other Vitamins have. Plus I believe that they are more easily digestible. I have just never been able to find a liquid version that tasted good. The Tespo ones are really good. The multivitamin tastes like orange Tang, and the bariatric one tastes a little fruity. I don't now what to compare it to, but it is not a bad taste at all.

My surgeon advised against liquid vitamins. Was not convinced they are absorbed as efficiently as chewables.

My dr said one month

Six weeks but seeing as I still felt so tired every day, I waited until 12 weeks to go back to the gym.
From week 4 I walked my dog and felt fine doing that.
Congraulations on the surgery

I am 2 weeks post op (almost) and my doctor said I could use the elliptical and the treadmill only. I can hit the gym (lift, run, etc) at one month. If your energy is low, might I suggest walking and extending the distance or time every day. The more idle you are the more tired you will feel. Definitely get up and move, even if it is for a short time each day.
Good luck!!

My surgeon did a Hiatal Hernia repair along with my sleeve. All his patients get that if needed

I am 10 days out from surgery...and I am a little hungry...started yogurt, and mashed potatoes today, but omg...do I want real food! I find my self thinking of food I am craving and picturing myself eating it. I even caught myself thinking.."what could be the worst thing that could happen?" Then I quickly yell at myself and try and snap out of it.
I am thinking, damn, why didn't I eat more of this or that...its bad. I am sure it is the mourning of food etc. I know, it will all be worth it. But I really find myself saying...will being thinner be better than the foods I want? Right now, not convinced. I have been fat my whole life, and happy...I did this for health. But now I wonder....what the hell have I done?

My hubby couldn't wait either I think it was like 5 days after surgery lol

Woo hoo I had my sleeve today and doing great [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2] been up walking the nurses station non stop. There was excruciating gas pain for the first few hours after surgery but now it's like a dull pain in my chest, neck and shoulder, been burping too which they said helps with the pain(seems too) no actual gas from the other end!!!!

My insurance said you have to be below or at the same weight at the end of the six months. ( not more) I was only 3 pounds different and was approved.
