Hello all.. I'm Syrian :)

Sleeved on Oct. 22

Was 222.5 lbs (101 kg.) now after 12 weeks , I'm 179 lbs (81.2 kg.)

Not satisfied with how much I lost, I know people did it later and lost more..

The problem is that my Dr gave me no diet program for more than 4 weeks.. now I eat whatever I want..

Yes I was sleeved in the Middle East and doing really well but have been given no food plan to follow so I rely more on what is said here. :) I think you are doing really well so keep going.

Thank you.. :)

What I'm worried about, is the Vitamins, I take one Centrum pill daily, which as I read here is not enough...

I know what you mean. I was told just to take the Centrum too. Nothing else except nexium twice a day although I feel I only need it in the morning. I am having blood tests run every three months to keep an eye on any deficiency so I suppose I will have to wait and see. What about you. Are you having blood work done?

No. All good that end and am managing to eat anything but only small amounts. I concentrate on my Protein and find there is little room for much else lol :)

I'm only taking one Centrum pill daily, and when I asked the dr if I should take Vit.B 12 his answer was, it's not necessary..

I'm so confused, could you please send me the diet program you are following.. :)

Hey!! I'm Egyptian but born and raised in NYC! I went to Cairo to get sleeved since I didn't really meet the criteria to be covered by my insurance. I was sleeved 12/22/12. I weight 225. Three weeks later I am 203.

Welcome!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
