I had my sleeve on Dec. 29. As of today, I'm 30 pounds down, and 70 pounds from my goal weight. My eating has done a 360 since surgery and I eat clean and healthy. I do not eat carbs, except for a piece of wheat toast in the morning with my Vitamins (and a Protein shake). Also, I walk 30 minutes 4 or 5 times a week. Just needing a word or two of wisdom and encouragement. I'm afraid that my weight loss is going to stop.

You're doing wonderfully! It's definitely a process.. I think I lost the most around 3-4 months. It felt like it dropped a pound a day for awhile. You're going to do so much better than you think you will.

I had 150 lbs of extra weight and so far I've lost 75% of that, 112 lbs total, and I'm on my 9th month. My doctor warned me I'd stop at 60% loss. I've had a lot of fear that I wouldn't get even that. It has slowed and even stalled for month 5 and again at month 8, but it continues to drop, slowly. I'm so pleased, I've lost more than I could have dreamed. You too will surpass your goals!

What is the point of eating wheat toast?

I have to eat something to prevent the chewable multi-vitamins from upsetting my stomach. Therefore, I have a small piece of high protein, low carb toast.

You don't have to take chewables just because you had WLS. I found them really gross to the point I didn't want to take Vitamins at all even thought I normally took a Multivitamin anyway. If I could swallow my other medicine post op, there was no reason not to take normal Multivitamins.

I take these

The soft gels are very easy to digest.

My first appointment to doctor was in January. He told me the sleeve bypass is my best option. I will be 63 yrs old when I have this surgery. Right now I weight 216 pounds ; I am 5'2". Just trying to get all the information I can. What to expect. What kind of Vitamins is best. Just everything I need to do to prepare and have good health and good outcome thru surgery.
