Pre -Op on the 23rd but I'm kind of nervous... I was suppose to get to 280 before surgery but I'm currently 270... I had my wisdom teeth pulled so I've been on a liquid diet... I'm worried they'll think I've lost too much on my own..

Ok fellow sleevers, I need assistance please...

I need to start taking Vitamins pre not post op....are there any suggestions on which ones 2 buy???

Im currently taking Centrum and they are pretty good. My surgeon think they were as well. I'm not looking forward to those chewable bariatric vitamins. I've been sampling them over the past 2 weeks. So I've decided to get the crystal Multivitamin and Calcium. I don't think anyone offers the Iron and B 12 in crystal form :(. Good luck on your journey!

I feel like it's fine ... I've been on it for about a week now and I'm fine .. 2 eas shakes and one meal (protein/veggies) and 1 snack only ... 1 serving of fruit a cheese stick a hard boiled egg or plain Greek yogurt ... not sure what other pre-op diets consist of but minds doesn't seem to bother me at all. ☺️ good luck though nikkydizzle!

Hey everyone!! I am from Texas and having surgery October 15th! I am super excited and nervous all at the same time. I am the heaviest I have ever been, I have been splurging a lot lately. I agree with Kathy that I think the hardest part will be the preop diet. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I'm not too worried about that. What kind of Protein Shakes is everyone buying?

I've been drinking the chocolate fudge, EAS carb control shakes. At a support group meeting I heard they have hot Protein Drinks on berriwise.com I hear their hot chocolate flavor is really good!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
