Anyone scheduled for sleeve in late Dec? Mine is on Dec 26, and I’d love to be in touch with others going through it with me.

I’ve had anxiety and depression in the past but have been clear for about two years and I am worried about such a biological change triggering that to come back. Anyway, I know what anxiety feels like so I can understand how you feel. Relax. This seems like a great move and safe operation with a couple months of discomfort for a lifetime of skinny living. I’m excited. Are you too?

I had my Sleeve surgery on 12/12 and I feel like my depression has been lifted some, the thought that I'm losing weight and I might end up feeling like a completely different person is exciting! I do still worry about my success but I'm just in the beginning stages of this process. I go to my follow up appointment tomorrow! Looking forward to being released to exercise with weights!

6 day stall after GAINING 3 lbs on day 7 post op. I posted before and people say this happens, but I’m still feeling super bummed. I’m exactly two weeks out and have lost only 7 lbs since surgery.

I’m about the same as you. Very disappointed. Going for my two week appointment tomorrow.

My tummy makes odd noises all the time, sounds like a dinosaur.

Going through the same thing 11 days post op, list 14.7 lbs, gains 3 lbs back and on a stall for 3 day [emoji849]

Tried my chewable vitamins today. I got so nauseated I am not sure how I am going to get them down. Anyone else having issues with this?

I got nauseated with my first chewable too. Now I just take a small bite, slowly chew, wait a minute or two, then take another small nibble. Takes longer but doesn't make me sick.

Thanks I will try this!

I've been taking mine for a week and still get a little nauseated. This morning I tried chewing the calcium citrate tablet 30 times like I'm supposed to with some food and that helped a little. Tonight I'm going to try taking the calcium citrate tablet 2 hours before the Flintstones chewables, taking all 3 at once was making me really sick.

Mine we fine for two weeks, now all of a sudden they make me extremely nauseous and sick for like 30 minutes. I’m just going to start taking them in the afternoon, so at least if I’m sick I won’t be at work It really sucks.

Bariatric Pal offers Vitamin Patches or you can try the liquid vitamins. I think Walgreens or CVS may carry them. I hope you get some relief.

I was but then switched over to Ollie brand (at Target). Taste like a gummy bear, delicious and I'm familiar with the company, very high quality. No issues at all - I look forward to taking them.

Me too - surgery on 12/29 lost 16lbs first 5 days (!) but scale has been frozen for last 7 days until this am, and up 1 lb. VERY discouraging.

If I drink too much or too fast, it hits me in the gut like a ton of bricks! Try to get down what you can.

Both my nutritionist and my surgeon have explicitly stated that gummies are not acceptable, so check with them if you haven't.
