that's one thing I do need to start are vitamins... was religious in taking them before... I'm probably gonna use vitamist is a Vitamin spray... I'm thinking about taking b 12 shot,a multi vitamin spray, Calcium chew, MSM, prenatal spray and if needed Iron and Biotin ..... that's just my thoughts from all I've read and understand .... any thought or helpful comments on that?

No I am on the pureed stage now just started it last week. I have lost a total of 21 lbs as of 2 weeks out. I have not weighed myswlf this week yet as I am trying to kick that addiction early bcause when I first came home I was completely obsessed with the scale so to stop myswlf from going crazy I am trying to weigh myself only once a week & take my measurements once a week as well. It seems I have lost about an inch everywhere this past week how much have you lost so far?

I take Vitamin b12 1000 mcg once a day, walmsrt brand multi-vitamins (adult gummy) Biotin 1000 mcg 4x a day, citracal 2x a day the sugar free chocolate chews (they taste like a tootsie roll)

If you want a one a day victim an www.procarenow.com. Has a great one $10 a month. The only other thing u have to take with it is a calcium pill They taste great and low cost

I was sleeved on July 29th. I have lost 12 lbs as of yesterday. I am taking a mulitvitamin, b12 sublingual, iron and calcium.

Today is the first day I have ventured out and cooked a meal for my family. I am exhausted. I have a drain and can't wait to get it removed on Thursday. I am between 400-600 calories a day. I am using myfitnesspal app to track everything. Feeling better everyday but not back to my old self yet. I have to go back to work next week.

I totally agree about the obsessive weighing in... I have only weighed myself once and it reveals a lose of 11 pounds 3weeks out

I was sleeved July 10th. I'm on soft foods now with few restrictions. I too struggle with the vitamins. I need to set a timer for them. I've lost nearly 35lbs but seem to be at a stand still now. Its a little discouraging. Even a day at an amusement park didn't budge the scale.

It sounds like your right on target,i had mine on the 23rd and I have lost 23lbs, to bad you are going back to work so soon,im disabled as of 2004 got hurt in Vietnam and it finally caught up with me,keep up the good work and stay in touch Wayne

I was sleeved 7/15/2013. I am I. My 3 weeks and am eating soft foods. I lost a total of 24 pounds, 9 pre op and 15 post op. I have come to a stop and gain 2 lbs after returning to liquids for two days to see if that would help. I'm hoping I continue to drop. Trying not to get on the scale.

I was sleeved on the 30th and my nut says I don't have to start vitamins until 2 week out but I'm getting leg cramps now. Also I'm having trouble getting my water down. I just don't have much of an appetite. I love the SF popcicles so I decided to freeze my water with crystal light and make ice cups. Any other ideas???
