For me no vitamins needed! Save your money eat a healthy balanced diet! My opinion, 2 years out labs all normal. From the begging.

I'm 2 years out I've had my ups and downs of weight loss. I've have worried daily in my success of weight loss. On how many calories, rite vitamins, exercise, list goes on. I may have been the lucky one or am I? I went thru the phase of regret not able to enjoy the food I once loved. But I loved loosing the weight. Slowly. Sex drive went down hill. Hair falling out skin crepping. " Blood levels are normal" . Started out with small weight loss goals. Reached my goals. Over and over again my goal weight was 125. I told my self I have to stick to a healthy weight for me . Not what the experts say I should weigh. Then it was a goal of 115. in my head I'm not satisfied I'll do another goal of 110. So I decided it's time to maintain my weight or gain 10 pounds back. Since I'm now 100 lbs. I'm trying to gain weight. And I'm struggling!! I want to gain. should I eat the three C's cake,cookies, ice cream? Of course not what are healthy fattening foods? The positives. Looking good feeling good.

Keep doing what your doing. Are your clothes feeling different? Take pictures this will help see the change. I was at a 9 week stall. Then I dropped a significant amount of weight. Which will happen a time and again.

Call your Dr

I'm about 2 years out from gastric sleeve. I have done my routine blood work. "Maybe not as much as I should have." From day one I never took supplements I pretty much eat a clean diet. But not really strict. My blood work for vitamins have been perfect. I'm not sure why the drs push vitamins ? Everyone is different!

It will get easier day by day. You will find your self questioning your self thru out this amazing journey. I love food? I miss eating.. Is my only 2nd thought. Stay positive. Get a sippy cup..learn how to take very small apps.. Stay positive.

Trial n error .

I had my sleeve done 8 months ago. Im maintaing weight now. I'm ok with it. I could go another 20. To be realistic, I understand the last few pounds are the hardest. But in my mind it's a protective fat layer in case i become sickly for some reason. I do not want to look anorexic. My appetit come back for about 2 months. I watched what I ate and excersized Daily. As of now im a bit concerned. I hope to get some in put on this matter.. My appetite in the past few weeks is gone! I have to force my self to eat and when I do. I'm very nauseous. What is going on??. Like I said hunger came on full force now all a sudden not hungrey and nausea when I do eat. What's your thoughts on this?

Oh yes the famous stall. I was at a stall for weeks. I'm talking 6 weeks. I increased protein and water.. The stall broke then started loosing again.. Change things up a bit. Stalls are normal.. For now I'm at another stall over a month again. Mention im 6 months out of surgery. The ups and downs of the battle...keep your chin up weight will come off!

Fair life taste light not chalky or overly sweet. Don't bother my stomach making me feel like I have to use the bathroom. Low sugar and low carbs. 30 grams of protein...ill pay a little more for a quality pritein.

Yes! I have Very slow weightloss 2lbs a week..at least it's coming off..they say slower weightloss is healthier , more apt at keeping the weight off..im happy at 2 lbs a week. Of course I wish it was more..those 2 lbs a week add up quickly. My surgery date was in June . as of today I have lost 47 lbs..very slow but effectively.

I was in a stall for 4 weeks. I ended up taking in more protein that seemed to help. The scale drove me crazy, pics are your best friend. Stay positive the changes will happen.

I'm 4 months out. I stay away beef or any tough meat due to pain. We are still pretty early in recovery. Especially 6 weeks, weigh your food. Eat and drink smaller portions. When I was 3 months. I though I was never going to be able to drink or eat with out pain. Was thinking I made a huge mistake. As time is moving on I find it less painful. Still not able to eat salads in which im craving badly. Just take it slowly. Things get better with time.

Yes, I.v fluids! Good point.

I would stay in the hotel. It's a long day mentally and physically. Plus if something goes wrong your close to hospital. I can't believe this is an out patient surgery! Would at least give my self 24 hour safety net...good luck.

How much food are you guys eating between 5 and 8 months?

Please do your research. You should beable to read reveiws Outside of the company.. Don't mean to be a downer. Research research research.

I have no appetite. knowing I'm hungry,so I eat. Start to feel sluggish, then nauseas. Some times I loose my meal some times I don't. I'm loosing weight faster now then in the start of this process. But I'm afraid its not a healhy way to loose weight . I feel something is going on. Just dont want to be a hypochondriac. Im glad I ran into your post. Hopefully we can get some insight..i can tell the differance between being to full vs, dumping syndrome., ECT. Are you able to describe your feeling after eating?.

Give your self sometime. Your body is adjusting. Make sure to drink you fluids and protein drinks. If I don't get my protein in, I stall.. Stalls are very common. After the stall you should have a drop in weight. Keep positive. Don't step on the scale everyday. Try once a week or you will drive your self batty.?

I'm so tired of protein shakes and plain water. What do you guys add to your protein shakes and water. For a change in flavor?

Was not using honey as an herbal remedy for weightloss. Simply using raw organic honey as a natural flavor for my water. ?.

I my self started to regret. Thought I was never going to be able to eat. Every time I ate food would get stuck or come back up. Give your self sometime. This will pass! As we heal and learning to eat. Measure your food. I started at a teaspoon of mushy foods at a time. Yes this will pass.

Up date.. my opinion on raw natural honey. I was at a three week stall. I figured I needed to up my protein and water intake. So im drinking protein shakes, and 1 pint water with 1/4 cup of honey Daily. To my surprise woke up this morning to see a 4 lbs weightloss for the week. Finding that raw organic honey is not bad. In my opinion. Im going to continue to drink honey water when I want something different then just plain water. I'll keep this updated.

When I got to that point. I went to mushy foods very slowly.sunny side up. Or yogurt. Tuna fish in blender. Like a teaspoon or less

Ugh! I'm going thru the same thing.. It's driving me crazy! Drinking more protein and water. In hopes to break the stall.
