I had my sleeve on Feb 23, 2016. I've started noticing a major loss in eyelashes recently. Has anyone else experienced this?

You should...vitamins and minerals are very important to supplement when you're not getting proper nutrition from your food. Also, Protein is imperative to proper healing in the body. It also supplies your energy.

My NUT doesn't suggest we stay on them - she wants us to get used to eating "regular" food but I know I'm lacking in Protein so I started drinking shakes again this morning. Thanks! :)

Thanks emmajones34! I was taking them up until I had surgery and then couldn't for 6 weeks following with my surgeons guidelines on size of pills. I now cut them in half and started taking them again. They really do seem to help!

Amazed76, the Vitamins appear to help! I'm not sure if it's just time and circumstance or the vitamins but I'm so happy they're finally coming back! Yay!!

My nut actually made a joke about "Flinstone Vitamins DO NOT count!" My surgeon and nut both recommended either the Bariatric Fusion (with iron) or the Celebrate brand. Both are chewable and both are available on the BariatricPal Store. They are about the same price as my surgeon's office. Only thing I will say is that the Iron seems to be making me..... constipated lol. So watch out for that! Otherwise, they are pretty darn good vitamins.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
