Hi October 2012 Sleevers! I was wondering how everyone is doing - we made it through the Holiday Season (it was a long one, Halloween through New Years' - we had it pretty rough!).

Oct 25, 2012. SW 300

Today i am 256 = 44 lb loss

I am 11 weeks out = avg 4lbs per week

I lost my data on each weigh in. Had it logged on iPad notes. So i'll have to pull my old paperwork. Anyway...my dr told me avg wt loss for VSG per month is 6-7 lbs. So if you're losing 10 or more per month, that's good. Of xourse depends on age, wt, etc.

I'm 50 yrs old, female. Still cant hold more than 1/4 to 1/3 c at a meal. But i get so hungry within an hour or two after the meal. I dont get in all my fluids either. I love reading about other Oct sleevers!

Got my sleeve on October 30th and I am down 49 pounds! woot woot!! 66 pounds total including pre op.

Really struggling with not drinking and eating and eating slowly still! Also getting my B12 in but struggling with the multi vits...any suggestions?

Dealing with serious reflux also that my delusional surgeon keeps giving me OTC meds that arent working!

I purchased Vitamins created for sleeve and bypass patients through "powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com". Chewable multi-vit. and chewable cal/mag. supplements. Are they tastey? No, I chew real good then chase with tiny bit of Crystal Light. Between 3 cal/mags, I multi and my B-12, I chew these over morning hours as my snack. I may not get enough solid food every day, but I make sure to always take my vits. and get my Protein and as much Water as possible each day. I wish there were liquid vits. to add to one shake in morming and get it all done. They do get chalky tasting after a while.

10/15 285

This was the best decision ever!!! Anyone dealing with the emotions from overeating?? I am struggling with it but learning how to process and deal with it now.
