????A shout to the February sleevers ????

My doc Vitamin list has Flintstones chewable on there. I don't start my Vitamins until tomorrow. I am going to try the adult kind first but I bet I end up doing the Flintstones

How are the feb Sleevers doing? Have you guys gotten use to the 'new stomach'?

I was suppose to have my sleeve done in feb and it seems quite unlikely for it to happen in feb. Most likely a March sleeve now ????

I sooooooo wanted to be a feb sleever ???? 'life is so unfair'(dramatic voice) lol

Well I hope this just gives me more time to mentally prepare myself for D-day.

How are you guys?

I'm surprised how much better I have felt the last couple days. It's been 12 days since surgery. I am able the walk and get around without pain and starting to feel back to normal (and down 14 lbs wooohooo) every single day you make so much progress. Soups are down good, I've blended them so I don't have to spit out cream of mushroom. Life is good!

What are the multivitamins that everyone is taking? Any exclusive care post gastric sleeve?

I am taking a chewable Multivitamin that my doc recommended: Bariatric Advantage Innovations Advanced Multi EA, it's got extra Iron in it and really easy to get down post surgery for me at least. In addition to that I'm taking some additional Calcium chewys that are a yummy caramel flavor and then a lil Biotin.< /p>

I'm taking bariatric advantage as well and they go down very easy ( at least for me). They aren't terribly expensive either, maybe $50 a month, which is a small portion of what I am saving on food!

I'm really tired of the liquid diet, head hunger is driving me crazy.

Heard that! I am now 15 days out and am on puréeds now. At the end of full liquids I was spending all my free time looking at recipes on Pinterest and drooling. I wouldn't recommend doing that--it's torture.

I do have a whole new appreciation for the taste of food. I so enjoy my 1/4 cup of mushy food at every meal.

Hang in there! You'll be there soon.

I'm down 22 lbs from my 1 day pre-op and the 15 days since. Feeling great--walking 1+ miles a day or biking 5+ miles. Still a bit on the tired side, but it's getting better!

Hope the rest of you fellow febbies are healing quickly as well!

I'm sorry to hear that things didn't come together in time for you to get surgery in February, but March is only a few days away! I know how hard it is to wait once you make the decision to have surgery. You are a feb sleever in spirit, so please keep us updated on your progress!

Lolllll so cute I m a'feb sleever in spirit' funny ????????????

Tomorrow I m going to India for my sleeve ????, once I m there will go meet the doctor and he's gonna take up things from there....

Waiting for the surgery just feels like I m far off ????, can't wait to be on the other side.... Pre surgery nervousness and excitement is kinda nerve wrecking, wouldn't you guys agree to it?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
