By 8 weeks I could gulp:)

Thanks for the support:). And 277 lbs lost!?! Holy smokes!!! What an inspiration!

The past few days I have eaten really crappy. Nowhere what I ate pre sleeve. But definitely over my 800 calories. I worked out yesterday and mall walked today. Bit I'm still feeling like a failure and am scared I will have gained 5 pounds:(

Thanks! Great ideas!!!!!

3 meals a day or several small meals? I was sleeved 8/26 and have only list 30lbs. I have been doing several small meals totaling between 800-1200 cals a day. I work out and drink a ton of H2o. Thinking I better try 3 meals and cut my carbs way back. Any input?

I am deficient in potassium, Vit D and B12. I really think some of us are more prone to it., Make sure you are taking a good multivitamin. Are you experiencing hair loss?

Yeah i have noticed some really intense sweet and salty cravings. I think its a our bodies trying to tell us something. Try some heart healthy dark chocolate. Maybe your body is craving the vitamins in it. I really enjoy sugar free pudding for my sweet cravings.

Thank you! That honestly made me feel a lot better. I guess I.shouldnt be ashamed of a wig. I should be happy they make such great ones!

Ummm I'm not a man lol! Thanks for the suggestions. I will let you know what I find out.

I have had horrible hormonal issues most of my life. My hair has been thinning since age 17. I'm 30 now. I am 14 weeks out from surgery and am losing what little hair I had at an alarming rate. To top it off my thyroid has decided to spaz out, so you guessed it....more hair loss!!! I am 30 and nearly bald. It's depressing me. Have any of you had to get a hairpiece? Do you have a brand you would recommend? Has anyone had extensions? I knew this would happen but I prayed I would be one of the lucky ones who would dodge the hair loss bullet. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated ...

Same here:(. I think it may have something to do with the estrogen that is released during fat breakdown. I will take acne over weighing 300 lbs any day!

Coming from a nurse.....WOW That is terrible!!!!! We all make mistakes but that was a totally preventable one. Honesty I am shocked. I'm glad you did not have a worse reaction than you did!!!! I hope you spoke to someone in the hospital's administration about it.

Have any of you noticed that you get hungry while your lying down? I will go to bed completely content, but about 15 minutes after I lay down my stomach starts to growl and I feel hunger. I notice it too when I am reading taking a bath. It seems so strange lol! Maybe just a figment of my imagination....

Thanks. Same for you.

I just found out that I have a thyroid nodule that is causing me to have an overactive thyroid. Just wondering if anyone else has had this and what your experience was like....

I was advised to contact my Dr. if I had worsening shoulder or neck pain. Probably just gas but it could be signs of a leak.

OMG 6 months to a year!!!! I will be bald by then!!!! EEEEEKKKKK!!!! ;(

Yes I have and do. Ummm I was probably 4 weeks out. I tolerate them just fine. Give them a try

DANG girl you're HOTTTTTT!!!!!

Me me me!!!! I got way off track this past week . I was sleeved 8/26 and have only lost 30 pounds. I need to.get back on track and kick up the weight loss!

I added more calories and downed my carbs. Seems to be working.

I am an RN. I work on a medsurg floor as well as in labor and delivery. Congrats on soon getting your RN!!!

I also have a sleeve of steel!!!! Maybe it's a nurse thing???? I have been able to tolerate everything I've tried. I agree, a bleesing and a curse. I wish I had less of a tolerance for sugar!!! What kind of nursing do you do?

Haha! Yummy:)^^^^^

Have you maintained your loss?
