I have so many already now i can't choose lol. I think the fact that my boyfriend was holding me in bed tonight and said i felt "different". I asked what he meant and he said i am much smaller now so it felt like he was cradling me in a way. He just couldn't get over it and hadn't noticed how different i felt in his arms until that moment. He was like "i guess I'll have to lose weight now." His self esteem might have taken a little hit but man i felt so tiny. The night ended well lol. Sent from my SM-G925T using BariatricPal mobile app

Im 8 weeks post op and I finally started exercising yesterday. I walked a half mile yesterday and a mile today. I feel good and im very motivated. Hopefully I keep it up.

I am the same exactly three weeks and stall it is frustrating as I am barely eating I guess my body is just fighting it to keep as it use to be deep breath and patience I guess

I can answer the last question, the Bariatric program is usually very helpful as this is all they do! They check exactly what needs to be done and they'll tell you. It's a win win for everyone involved so they are good about checking on it.

So what brand and type of Vitamins is everyone using after VSG surgery? And why?

My name is Jen and I'm 4 months post operative today. I started at 255lbs, and I'm 5"5. I was wearing a 18/20. I lost 10lbs preoperative diet, and 37lbs lost since surgery( 208.8lbs) I'm in between a size 14/16 now. I would say that I am a slow looser but that's okay. After getting denied by insurance plan because I had a eating disorder (bulimia) for 15 years, even though I have been in recovery for 8 years, I went through A Lighter Me in Mexico to get my surgery. I don't regret my decision at all, and I have been very pleased with my results. My struggles now are getting my daily Protein amounts, chugging enough Water, hair loss and fatigue. We are in this together so I hope that we can continue to support and inspire each other in this journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Agree with everyone above. I had the same thing happen. Can't stress walking enough and also get some Milk of Magnesia and suppositories this helped me so much as I really couldn't get relief without them.

We sure do!! My name's Mandy, I'll be having surgery Friday in Houston! I think I might be getting the sleeve though. Last I spoke to my surgeon, he told me to think about switching since I'm currently low in iron.

"Father I come in the name of your son Jesus that you give her peace and comfort lead and guide the Doctor and ever on in the surgery room. And give her a speedy recovery in Jesus name. You going to see you made the best decision God bless you!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120AZ using the BariatricPal App

I have celiac so it's absolutely essential that I avoid gluten in its entirety. I have several food allergies as well but none developed post sleeve, they were all pre existing. The gluten free diet plays nicely with good nutrition post-op. Personally I think we have an advantage over those who are tempted by cookies, pasta, pizza, bread etc because we simply can't eat them. You just have to watch for hidden sources of gluten, like soy sauce, anything with modified corn starch as an ingredient, etc.
