Hey all. It’s been a while since I’ve commented. I am a week shy of 3 months and 51 pounds down. Seems like I’m hitting a stall again. Scale isn’t moving, but I’m doing everything right. Is anyone in the same boat as me? Should I be concerned about not losing? Also, anyone else forcing themselves to eat? I am hardly hungry.

Hey November sleevers.. Anyone using liquid multivitamins?? & know how they are absorbed. Intrested bc chewables make me queasy and the capsules are very large. Sometimes hard to keep down. thanks!

Thank you! I am finally moving again. Staying positive. Congrats on your new clothing size

I had my sx on 11/19. I was doing well in the beginning but as soon as I moved to regular foods.. things slowed. I am still eating healthy. I’m hoping it is just a phase. I don’t know much about the implant but it may play a part. I would mention it to your MD. We need some tips! Very worried here.

Hey everyone Happy New Year ! I am 6 weeks out and weight loss is slowing down. Slightly stalling. Very hard on me mentally. Trying not to get too down on myself. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hey! Glad you’re doing well. Ive gone to my two week and my next apt isn’t until Jan. It’s not a concerning or consistent ache. Just weird. It could also be the lack of movement or me sleeping incorrectly since I still can’t sleep on my stomach. just started “regular food” as of this week. Still can’t eat much so i would say I’m still following the plan, for the most part.

Hey everyone. I am exactly 4 weeks post op today. I wanted to ask if anyone else felt a strange “ache” on their stomachs, more on the sides. Almost like stretching pain or like you were holding your arms up for a long time. just wondering what it could be. thank you

It’s not that I’m worried about what she’s doing. I was curious. More because I myself am not a fan of premade protein. But I have no issues with my surgeons instructions. For anyone interested. Check out the video below. Not her Dr. but I follow him and he’s quite interesting. He’s VERY blunt/crass, but gets points across.

Thanks! Yeah I’m just wondering because a friend of mine in Arizona has a dr who isn’t pushing proteins

Has anyone’s surgeon mentioned that they don’t want them to drink protein shakes? Especially the premade shakes. Just wondering because I had someone mention to me that her surgeon does not want them to drink protein.

Does anyone’s surgeon not require a ton of protein shakes, especially the premade ones ?? I’ve heard that some do not make it a requirement. Just trying to get some information. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Sx date was 11/19 Discharged yesterday 11/20 around noon. Only did a one night stay. I am feeling better than I imagined. No serious gas pains. Stomach tight/slight discomfort. I think my throat is the worst of all.

Hey! Glad to hear from you. Hope everything is going well. Keep us posted. Congrats!

I haven’t checked in here in a while, but I am 6 days out from my date (11/19) .. I am excited, struggling with the liquid diet but not discouraged. I hear constipation is an issue for most, along with gas. Any tips besides miralax? I was hoping for something more natural so my body wouldn’t necessarily depend on it. Also! Congratulations to any of the recent sleevers

Approved 2 weeks after submission to insurance from surgeons office. But total 4 month process.. some insurances will approve starting at 3 months if you complete everything within that time frame. (3-6 mnts is the usual time)

Hey guys, starting my two week liver shrink tomorrow! Any food ideas ? I don’t eat fish or pork. Also, has anyone found a protein powder comparable to Premier protein mix? My target doesn’t not have it in stock, and I didn’t want to drive two towns over. Thanks!

Definitely not tmi, we all need to hear the good and the bad lol. Thanks!

Thank you, sure message me the number whenever you have a chance.

I can only hope for the same. Surgery on a Tuesday for me, would love to make it to church that Sunday. Thanks !

Thank you so much!! This was truly helpful. And you pointed out the two things that I am mainly concerned with: gas and making sure I am getting in all of my vitamins/nutrients. I will definitely reach out in the future need be. Thanks again.

Thank you! I keep hearing similar things, I’m a little nervous about gas pains and not being able to get enough fluids down. But hoping that my body is good to me lol

Any VSG ppl who’ve had surgery and can offer any advice or share their experiences during their first week post operation? Pain, Fluid intake, things they wish they knew, and emotions. I am pre op, and would love to hear about your experience. Thank you.

Wow really? My surgeon sells many different brands in office so I don't think she would write an rx for them. Is Bariactiv the brand name? Or was that short for Bariatric Advantage brand ?

Hi November peeps, I am about a month out from sx.Really happy I found this forum to soak up as much info as I can. I was wondering if anyone had any information about the best vitamins, and how I can get the most bang for my buck? Thank you. ; )

Can anyone help me out with my profile? I’m trying to enter my weight , but for some reason it keeps telling me it’s invalid.
