I did not have Major issues. Normal but my 2 month anniversary is December 1. The only thing I notice so far,hiccups when I'm full. My skin is looking great, hair cannot tell u cause I keep it braided and sewin(lol) I don't do beef or pork, chicken and turkey has been my friend. I stay on my period longer cuz I suffer from fibros. I will keep u guys updates.

Hello, I also suffer from Fibroids, I will be sleeved on Dec 16 2013. I wonder will the fibroids slow down my weight lost or will i have a hard time losing belly fat?

Hello All, can anyone recommend which brand of chewable vitamins that they are taking?

I'm taking optisource. They're $28 at Walgreens for a one month supply, however, you may be able to download a coupon for like $5 off from their website. You have to take four of them but they're orange flavored and actually taste ok.

Hi all! I've got my psych appt tomorrow morning! I'm ready to get it over with. Been going through some strong emotions anticipating how to handle the folks that will "change up" on me after I lose the weight. Did anyone treat you "nicer" or more like a lady when you lost? I really don't want to hold any grudges, but it's difficult to go from invisible to visible just bc of loosing weight. This does not include everyone of course. Is this the kind of stuff I should share at my appt tomorrow or is the focus more about if I'm mentally ready to change my eating habits?

People will treat you different. People will smile and speak to you. Last night I saw it. I have not nearly gotten down, I'm only two moths and notice. You cannot get wrapped up in other people when u going through this. You should concentrate on reason u are mentally ready to Change for a better healthy life just my opinion. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
