I'm 14 months post op and still get dizzy when I get up too fast. Always gotta take it slow.

I did the same thing....I work at a hospital and the RNs I work with told me, "For God's sake stay off the internet"....you will find positive and negative for all things, whether you're looking to buy a used car or having surgery. Just listen to your doctor....BUT in my opinion, it's going to be awesome...just wait and see.

I'd be interested in this topic also...I'm 13 months post-op...and 12 lbs under goal. I'm not trying to lose anymore weight but it's still coming off....I eat a tiny bit and I'm full.. So... Can our sleeves shrink??

Are you still in the liquid phase with all the protein shakes and such? This happened to me also and will subside when your diet gets a bit more normal. I kept gum and mints on hand.

The only thing I struggled with was experiencing severe PMS symptoms..explained by a PA that when women lose a bunch of weight rapidly we also burn estrogen and it caused me ( and my husband) extreme difficulty. I had to get a prescription for Wellbutrin but only had to take it for a few months before things started to level off. I was miserable as I was MAD MAD MAD all the time...I don't know how my husband put up with me. So..if you experience something similiar, just keep this in mind.

89 lbs...from 206 to 116.something...so almost 90. Almost 10 lbs under goal. I think of it like this...surgery was my intervention...and the first few weeks afterwards were detoxing and difficult but THEN, life begins!! Enjoy!!

I'm an August 15, 2011...next week is my one year anniversary already. It's been great!

Couldn't go a day without it!!

I'm 5'1 (and a half)...I eat some Peanut Butter, a 10 gr. Protein bar, some string cheese and whatever my family has for supper....but I need to up it, I know. I'm so fixated on calories...I've been in diet mode for so many years it's hard for me to eat protein and not worry about the calories. More protein equals more calories.... Even though I'm under goal, I can't seem to relax yet. I appreciate the guidance!!

Premier nutrition? Do they suck? I can't stand the usual Protein bar taste..... And where do I get the Bosley stuff? Right now I use Nioxin. Thanks for the input!!

I can't tolerate the shakes...but I've added a protein bar (10 grams) and some string cheese to my day...but 60-80 is sooo much...I must need some protein secrets!! I do take Biotin and I think its saved me from being bald!

Okay...here's the deal; I am 10 months post-op and have been losing hair very slowing for five months. I never get the 60-80 gr. of Protein that I'm supposed to, but closer to 40-50. I am approximately 5 lbs under goal... My question is...will I continue to lose hair as long as I don't get in the protein OR will my body eventually adjust to my new weight and stop freaking out?? I eat...I get around 1200 calories a day. Will it stop??

I've been losing hair slowly for five months....I also can't seem to get near the required 60-80 g. of protein a day. My question is, will I continue to lose hair until I DO get that much protein a day or will my body eventually adjust to my new diet. I'm 10 months post-op....and luckily no one else notices my hair loss yet...just me; but if this should continue....

I have been losing hair at a very slow rate for five months....I take Biotin and use Nioxin shampoo, however, I have never been able to get in the recommended 60-80 gr. of protein a day. So my question is....will my hair continue to fall out until I DO get that much protein in OR will my body EVENTUALLY adjust to my new diet? I'm 10 months post-op....and honestly it's not severe hair loss, only I can tell, but sometimes I wonder how I can possibly have any hair, having been losing for FIVE MONTHS!! It's so upsetting...I wonder if this continues, people will start noticing and that makes me panic!! Any ideas??

Yeah...having the munchies would really suck!! Start slow
