Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

How's everyone getting their vitamins in? I have yet to get them all in in a day. I tried mixing 2 of them crushed into yogurt yesterday, but I could only take like 3 bites then I was done. I'm getting my water and protein in, I just wondered if I should be concerned. I was sleeved on Wednesday.

I take a chewable multivitamin twice a day. I have a brand from my hospital pharmacy that is super cheap, but Flintstone vitamins are an option as well. I don't take any other vitamins right now. They told me to wait. I was sleeved 10/23

what was your BMI in the beginning?

I was sleeved October 13, a little over 3 weeks out and I have only lost 15 pounds. I think exercising is going to be key.

Today is my 1 year surgiversary, HWE =423# , Started Surgery journey @ 360# , 6mth post 271#, today 240# .So that is 183# total loss ....120# surgical loss. My dream goal is still another 65# away but I could stop now and be happy with my health.

Congrats!!!

My one year was on October 14th! So excited down 105 pounds????????????

Way to go guys! My 1 year is in a week and I'm down 95 lbs! Hoping for five more, but I'm happy where I am

Great job everyone! I passed my 1 year on Oct 15th. I do wish I has lost more my first year, but am proud of how far I have come. I am definitely still dealing with the mental side of all this. I see the difference in pictures and in clothing sizes, but feel like I look the same when I'm looking in the mirror. Its crazy! I also am still trying to figure out what gives me those boosts where I drop significantly in a week. I can't figure it out. There are weeks when I feel like I snack poorly and won't exercise as much and I'll drop 5 pounds. Other weeks, I'll gain a couple. I just keep trying to do what I can. Here is to our 2nd year journey!

Thank you lovelytrl! You look great too!

Surgery was October 10th 2014. Start weight 276. Today's weight 129. This has seriously been my 2nd chance at life. I plan to be happy and healthy in order to truly enjoy the years ahead with my new grand baby and the ones to follow.
