I'm 3 months post op VSG. The last few weeks my multivitamin was making me very nauseous. My surgeons office recommended the patch. I'm using the Patch MD. I just hope I'm getting enough and absorbing it. I get my blood work done in 2 months so I guess I'll find out! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Since month 2 I stall for 10-14 days, then lose 5 lbs a week then stall another 10-14 days. This cycle has been my new normal. This month I haven't lost anything since 2/2 yet this week I just lost 4 lbs. Even with hitting my water and protein goals, and exercising. I guess this is how my body is adjusting. Everyone is different, the worst we could do is compare our journey to someone else or be hard on ourselves because we didn't lose as much as someone else. Keep up the great work Novemeber sleevers!

Increase water and make sure protein is on target. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! My highest was 291. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet just 1 day before, liquids. So now I'm around 248. My goal is 165. I'm 5'2 so I'll see where this journey takes me! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Glad your incisions healed up. Great job on your wt loss! I too wish it was a little warmer to do something active outside, soon enough. Good luck with your next goal! I wanted to be 50 lbs down by my Dr visit this Friday but I don't think I'll get there, nonetheless I'm still happy with my progress so far Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am feeling great! I've lost about 42lbs and 30 inches. I haven't had any complications with introducing foods, just a little acid reflux week 3 and 4 but it subsided. I have so much more energy. I try to get myself to the gym 3-4 days a week. I get about 60g of protein and about 48oz of water. I'm not hitting my goals with that. It is something I have struggled with right along. I take each day at a time! How are you feeling since surgery? Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi there! I'm from Garfield NJ. I was sleeved on 11/17/17, I'm just over 3 months post-op Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I went through the same feelings and emotions you are having. I was sleeved on 11/17 the week before Thanksgiving. Here I am 15 days post op and down 21 pounds so far. I can tell you it does get better. Each day gets better. It is an emotional journey but just keep in mind the reasons you did this. I too felt ashamed that I couldn't lose the weight on my own. I felt like a failure. But the past is behind you, don't beat yourself up over it. Instead work on the present and take it day by day. I'm sure in 6 months you will look back and it will all be worth it! Good luck to you on your journey! Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Baristatic app ! It is awesome. That is what I use to track food, water, protein. And you can set reminders for water, vitamins etc. Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I've had rumbly hunger pains every day since I was sleeved on 11/17. Usually in the morning. I get my required liquids in and protein. It doesn't last long usually a few minutes. I've been on clear liquids and allowed protein water for 2 weeks. I start pureed food tomorrow, I hope the hunger subsides. Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I was thinking of starting the gym today or tomorrow. I was sleeved 11/17. I am so fatigued! But I should go and do something! Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app

You will do great! I had some incision pain the first few days, which made bending over a little difficult. And no heavy lifting (10 lbs) for 6 weeks. Jersey strong!! Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes I was on full liquids the day before. Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck to you! I'm already 10 post op! Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes 64 was a struggle! I found warm fluids were easier to get down. I had more broth yesterday and decaf tea. I'm counting down to Friday when I can start pureed! Sent from my SM-G920T using BariatricPal mobile app
