I was basically the same weight on surgery day, 4/1/14. I'm 168 lbs today, my energy levels and general ability to do stuff still amazes me. Best. Decision. Ever. Good luck!

My nut rod me about liquid calcium supplement after surgery, I found it at Walmart. It was orange flavor and I actually loved the taste...

I have had the same thing since surgery, I'm a year out now, and still have it. It's annoying but I've had no issues at all because of it. Good luck!

My doctor also said no NSAIDs at all, only Tylenol...

Hey there, I was sleeved on 4/1/14 and I am down to 193.2 as of today... sig below and all but if your on mobile this may be easier... I agree with everyone here though as well, comparing yourself to other people can be a treacherous undertaking, focus on what is right for you and your body.

Keep plugging away, I too haven't really been able to exercise regularly... I tore something in my hip so even walking wasn't feasible... And I just had a procedure on my heart last week, so still kinda barred from the gym... I religiously followed the diet though which, I think, was my saving grace.

Thanks!

I just wanted to share with people who'd understand! So excited... Haha

Yeah, I found it weird too, but I would gladly have 10-15 more unexplained punctures with the results I've had!! haha

Good luck! I, too, am almost there and writhing in anticipation!

I had 6 (+1 they denied creating but oddly was covered in betadine and glue when I woke up and had not been there before surgery...)

That's fantastic! Congrats on your success!

I've been to Japan 7 or so times and have never had any problems with my meds, I just took them in their original bottles. As far as food goes, yakitori is a good bet, grilled meat on a stick...obviously there is fish, but there are plenty of healthy options. I also just ignored the rice.

I was sleeved 4/1/14 and I was back to taking 325mg Aspirin daily due to a heart condition as soon as I got home. My surgeon was fine with it. I haven't had any problems or complications at all... he did say that I should avoid any additional NSAIDs though.

I'm on there too if anyone wants to add me, odivos13 is my username.
