I used Biotin 1000mcg I take them 1x per day with a meal as well as a multivatimin and calcium chews. I experienced some hair lost in the beginning but not anymore nothing more than usual. I'm natural and have been for 8 years so I co-wash my hair I don't use anything with sulfates I also section my hair into four sections and take my time untangling my hair with my fingers and smoothing it out before I wash each section. I use a wide tooth comb and start from the bottom of my hair and work my way up and I do not use hot Water only luke warm water when washing or rinsing my hair which hot water can cause tangling and breakage wich leads to Hair loss. I keep my hair moisturized (not greasy there is a difference) often and I seal my ends. I still color my hair but I use Aphogee Protein Treatment before I color and that helps with hairloss as well.
I don't know if you have tried any or all of this but that is what I do! Hope it is helpful!

So I'm a lil over 6 mths fr/ being sleeved & joined the gym last mth. Well I finally got up the courage/ energy to actually step foot in the gym & workout( having a workout buddy def helped). I'm very pleased to say my scale has moved down by 2lbs. I have lost 80lbs now w/ 38 more to lose:-) I got this!!!

I just posted a Blog on Guidelines Post Op Diet: Maybe this can help you!
http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/blog/1836/entry-5815-dietary-guidelines-after-bariatric-surgery/
I personally ate:
Cream of Rice - made very thin and easy to eat.
Cream of Zuchini Soup
Cream of Brocolli Soup
chicken broth
sugar free pudding
Almond Milk
Low fat or Fat Free Yogurt (Latosse Free)

I know all our weightloss is all different but its just extra motivation to see how we all are doing. My date was January 3 i am 52 pounds since surgery no pre op diet have not went shopping so i don't no new clothing size oh and i am 5feet 7 :0)

It was glorious.

I have lost 39lbs since surgery 1/22/13. I'm very happy with my progress but I have this fear that the wt loss will just stop! The most I have ever lost before surgery was about 50lbs. I can't imagine losing more than that, I guess because it never has happened. I'm afraid one day it will just stop! I want to lose about 114 more but can't imagine it!!! Has anyone else ever thought this isn't real or can't imagine that you will eventually reach your goal!! Crazy???

Well I have to say I'm truely amazed at my wieght loss so far. I am 54lbs down since surgery and 77lbs since I started the pre op diet on December 28th. The first pic is 2 days post op and the second is today 2 months post op. It's a great start to my new life!!

We have InShape in Central Ca too. I'll have to check out what they're teaching in my little Podunk town!

Just got my sleeve march 11 I'm excited about this journey

I didn't even know that was possible. Things are slowing down now but that's okay. I know it's all going to work out

It's been 3 1/2 months since my surgery and I have finally hit 50 lbs down. I have to say that out if all the weight loss diets and all I am the most proud of this accomplishment. It's been a difficult road and to finally lose this weight is great. Still have quite a ways to go but it's fantastic.
Pre Op: 298lb / Surgery Day: 288lb / Week 1: 278lbs / Week 2: 267.5lbs / Week4: 263.7lbs.

Haha yeah my husband is a comedian as well - he puts his hand on my stomach and says "I know I know but i'm trying to watch the game right now!" Guuuurl he makes me laugh all the time messing with me and my noises!

Getting ready to go to my Hula Cardio class. 60 mins of fun and sweat....but in a sexy way!! Love this so much more than Zumba!!! But for my Zumba lovers it's all good as long as we're having fun working out and taking care of our new bodies!
If you haven't tried Hula Cardio - don't knock it until you try it! It's a lower body workout that you will fill in your hips, thighs and core!

My husband will say silly things like: hush.... your tummy is talking to me! The gurgling noises from my throat can be pretty loud lol!

I don't burp but I definitely have the gurgling sounds as I type this i'm hearing them because I drank my Protein shake! LOL And i'm 22 months post-op it hasn't gone away yet for me! My husband gets a kick out of the different sounds my throat and stomach make after I eat or drink...I'm use to it now but I hate it when i'm out to eat some place not so loud or we have a potluck or a work luncheon - I barely eat because I don't want people to hear my noises.

I feel like something is stuck though...I wasn't burping and feeling or hearing these noises in my chest and stomach before
I hope it goes away....I feel clogged:(

Totally normal! I burp less now. Certain food just naturally cause it ( fruits for example). I am almost 10 months post surgery, and I can still hear the funny little squishy (as my daughter described them).

Sounds cool. I'll have to check I out...

My surgery was March 6. I also had a hernia repair. The surgery took about an hour and fifteen minutes for both procedures. The doctor said my sleeve was textbook perfect.
I had a lot of gas pain for the first two days and it can be really uncomfortable. My pain is minimal and my incisions are all less than an inch wide. I am able to tolerate all liquids so far with zero nausea.
I have been walking really well and was released from the hospital around noon. Overall the procedure is not bad at all. I was a nervous wreck and when I woke up I had to even question if I had went through with it.
Thank you everyone for all of the support. I probably could not have done or without this site.
