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>

      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.
