I've been thinking the same thing! I was sleeved on march 25. I was 276 before liquid diet 262 day of surgery and now I'm 252. But haven't lost anything in like a week and a half. What's the deal. I would imagine that most of the weight was Water weight. So have I stalled? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Got my bill last week from the hospital and it was over 37,000! But I am lucky that my insurance should pay for most. I think life's just too short to not be happy with yourself. That's why I did it for myself. I'm still only 2 1/2 weeks out and yes the first couple days I wanted to just curl up and die. But you get stronger everyday. I could lose weight on my own but keeping it off was almost impossible I would always go back to old habits. I say if you can make it work for you then go for it! Good luck Sent from my iPhone using VST

Trim fit from GNC the chocolate Peanut Butter is pretty good. To me it didn't have that Protein after taste Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yep I think it's dumping.. I totally cheated and had like 3 spoonfuls of ice cream ( sounded really good at the time) I think the whole episode lasted about 20 minutes or so. Heart racing, sick to my stomach. I'm only 16 days out. I knew better but the old habits snuck up on me. Lets just say I learned my lesson! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was sleeved on march 25th. Was wondering what Vitamins or supplements are you taking daily? Thanx Sent from my iPhone using VST

Day 1 your pretty much outta it. Day two for me was the "what the heck did it do" stage. Pain, gas and them pumping you with fluids and you gotta pee all the time. Gets much better when you go home and can sleep in your own bed. Good luck to you Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was told a multivitamin, b complex and a calcium. Just wanted to know what we're most important. Guess you could pretty much take anything in addition to what's recommended Sent from my iPhone using VST

Well with the shakes they just seems to take for ever to get down. The Protein aftertaste..guess I'm just having a hard time adjusting to this new lifestyle. Sent from my iPhone using VST

O yea that's normal. Just concentrate on getting your fluids in. Don't wanna get dehydrated. You may or may or be hungry. I'm 11 days out and I do get hungry off and on. Take care! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm 10 days out and I'm trying to drink as much as I can. Yes most Protein drinks are just too sweet and they have that aftertaste. The one I did like was trim fit from GNC. chocolate Peanut Butter I may have to go back and get some more. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I asked my Dr today about this. I have the same burning pain inside below my largest incision. I am 9 days out. He said its where he pulled out my stomach and put in a stitch. Don't remember the exact word but yea that's probably what were feeling. Sent from my iPhone using VST

liquid diet is the easy part. You'll do great! Good luck Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm hungry! Is this normal to be hungry? My stomach is turning and growling. I'm still on liquids till Thursday but I've already cheated and eaten a piece of cheese. It went down fine also I can take pretty big swallows when I drink. Is this normal? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I chew the cheese till there's nothing left. I hate doing it but I'm hungry. I am only allowed liquids clear only till Thursday. I think the next stage is ensure drinks for a week or so. Sent from my iPhone using VST
