that's one thing I do need to start are vitamins... was religious in taking them before... I'm probably gonna use vitamist is a Vitamin spray... I'm thinking about taking B 12 shot,a multi vitamin spray, Calcium chew, MSM, prenatal spray and if needed Iron and Biotin ..... that's just my thoughts from all I've read and understand .... any thought or helpful comments on that?

No I am on the pureed stage now just started it last week. I have lost a total of 21 lbs as of 2 weeks out. I have not weighed myswlf this week yet as I am trying to kick that addiction early bcause when I first came home I was completely obsessed with the scale :( so to stop myswlf from going crazy I am trying to weigh myself only once a week & take my measurements once a week as well. It seems I have lost about an inch everywhere this past week :) how much have you lost so far?

I was sleeved on July 29th. I have lost 12 lbs as of yesterday. I am taking a mulitvitamin, B12 sublingual, Iron and Calcium.

Today is the first day I have ventured out and cooked a meal for my family. I am exhausted. I have a drain and can't wait to get it removed on Thursday. I am between 400-600 calories a day. I am using myfitnesspal app to track everything. Feeling better everyday but not back to my old self yet. I have to go back to work next week.

I totally agree about the obsessive weighing in... I have only weighed myself once and it reveals a lose of 11 pounds 3weeks out

I was sleeved July 10th. I'm on soft foods now with few restrictions. I too struggle with the Vitamins. I need to set a timer for them. I've lost nearly 35lbs but seem to be at a stand still now. Its a little discouraging. Even a day at an amusement park didn't budge the scale.< /p>

I was sleeved 7/15/2013. I am I. My 3 weeks and am eating soft foods. I lost a total of 24 pounds, 9 pre op and 15 post op. I have come to a stop and gain 2 lbs after returning to liquids for two days to see if that would help. I'm hoping I continue to drop. Trying not to get on the scale.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
