I was sleeved Oct 23rd. I am down 22lbs since my day of surgery. Had my two week check up on Wednesday, and it went well. Thankfully, I haven't had any pain or complications other than soreness. I feel so normal as if nothing ever happened, until I start eating at my "old normal" pace, and suddenly I'm thinking "oh ****" lol. All is going well, and I am glad to hear you all are doing well too. I am excited for our journey! Keep up the good work.

I was sleeved 10/23 and I am experiencing extremely dry skin. My skin is not normally this dry, and I am noticing dry Patches.

Is anyone else having this issue, or can offer helpful tips?

I️ was sleeved 10/23/17 I️ had my first post op appt. 11/8 I️ have loss 21 lbs so far. Everything is well I’m still on purée which has been the hardest for me. Next week is soft solid which I’m looking forward to it. I’m trying to meet my Protein goal and Water goals as well. I️ have had a great journey so far. Hope everyone has a great one too!

I was sleeved 10/16/17, had the wonderful (sarcasm) 3rd week stall last week, scale didn't move for 6 days. Yesterday, finally down 2 lbs from where I had been all week, and this morning down 1 lb from that. I'm still on the puree diet which is getting pretty old, but it's part of my plan so I am sticking with it. Next week I'll be able to have soft foods, moist chicken/fish/turkey, etc and steamed vegetables, which I am looking forward to. Exercising regularly, having to buy new clothes (just enough to get me through the next few weeks, not a whole wardrobe), and getting comments quite often about how great I look. A friend of mine that I hadn't seen in about 4 months walked by me the other night and didn't recognize me until I stopped her, so that was pretty cool. Still have 65lbs or so to GW, but happy with the progress so far. The weight wasn't put on overnight, and will not come off overnight. It's a journey, and it's been a great one so far.

Hi All,
Didn't see an October Post Op thread so I figured I'd start one.
I was sleeved on Oct. 17,2017. I had no complications, only pain I dealt with was the gas that was stuck in my rib/chest area for about 4 days. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting and have been doing great. Only frustrating thing is I hit a stall about 10 days ago and the scale hasn't moved yet. How's everyone doing?

I found a remedy that actually works for anyone else struggling with this post op.. Biotine Mouthwash... it makes your tongue numb at first but it has drastically improved my dry mouth issues

I take the Bariatric Fusion. They have them in orange cream flavor on Amazon and I like them a lot. They are the only ones that don’t taste bad to me.

I'm in the same boat wondering the same questions...

I made my own Protein Shakes in the morning with Water, Protein Powder and maybe 3 or 4 strawberries and I put the Vitamins in the blender with it and blended it with the shake. It also gave it a good flavor.

I was sleeved 10/23... and was instructed by my surgeon to begin taking my Vitamins day 8. Well I absolutely hate the taste of them & seriously can’t find a chewable Multivitamin that’s bearable. Please help!!! Lol I literally gag every time I take one. Do you all have any suggestions on vitamins or a way I can take them that will manipulate the taste? ... Also, are chewable vitamins forever? Will I be able to switch to a Gummy multivitamin eventually?? Please help me!! :))

Wow, judge much? You assume marijuana is a bad habit. That's ill informed & super judgey.
