Nice to meet you all!

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.

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?

I was sleeved on October 22nd , so no three months passed yet.. But I will do some blood tests on January 22nd...

Are you having constipation problem?

Hi girls im stateside. I take a prenatal vitamin (it helps with hair loss and iron deficiency) b12 liquid, biotin, pepcid ac, and calcium with vitamin d. Also a medicine to prevent gall stones

Thanks for that information. I have trouble buying vitamins here in Saudi but am heading to Dubai on Wednesday so will do some shopping there. Thanks for the advice.

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.. :)

My program is basically high protein low carb low sugar. I will snap a picture of the stuff the doc gave or post a link soon.

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.
