Hello there, I had mine done on the 18th also. I am having a hard time getting my fluids in. I got my vitamins in today. One small victory at a time

hi had my surgery feb of this year. lost 60lbs so far just think of this operation as your new birthday. and this site as your new friend. everyone is here to help you. ask away and your questions will be answered but remember everyone is different just remember lots of fluids and walking.

You look amazing congrats your right around the corner from goal!

I am having mine on the 21 of July and would love to see if anyone in Utah is having theirs too around that time for some support.

Hi Samantha and Patricia--I'm Jenn, also sleeved June 18. Recovery-wise, it's going well and knock on wood, no issues. it's been 9 days & Im down 7 lbs since surgery (46 lbs total) and another 100 to go--hard to be patient!

Hi I have a question? I see alot of comments about having a hard time getting vitamins in. what is it that you are taking? Im not having a hard time at all which makes me wonder if im missing something. Liquids I get im having a hard time too.

I'm taking chewable bariatric-specific vitamins I ordered online. The brand is "celebrate". It's 2 Multi vitamins a day, plus an iron /calcium combo pill, and a vitamin d (all separate) there's a questionaire on their website that gels you figure out what you need exactly. I put them in a plastic pill organiser from the 99 cent store, to keep track.

oh im taking 2 flinstones a day b12 once a week and B 1 daily for now. will start taking calcium and vitamin d in a couple of weeks.
