luv-a-bull

First off...congrats on the surgery date and I hope everything goes smoothly. I am a little more than 4 months post op and I am going through some hair loss. When I shower I lose a lot more hair than I used to. I have started taking Biotin and fish oil and that has seemed to slow it down some. According to my surgeon it is fairly normal and will stop. I am doing my best to get in my 80gm of Protein a day but my sleeve doesn't like Protein shakes so I don't always meet this every day. I do not have bald Patches but I had a lot of hair to start with. Even with this hair loss and some other issues I have had, I would not go back. This is the best thing that I have ever done and it is truly saving my life. It took me around 2-3 months post op to stop regretting my decision, but it is totally worth it in my opinion.
Sorry for the long reply...I just found that the more I knew preop the better I felt going into it.

Sleeve day: nothing by mouth
Postop day 1-2: Clear liquids
Postop days 3-14: Full liquids with Protein shakes
Postop days 15-56. (2 months post op): soft foods
Postop days 2 months and on: regular diet
I have not had any problems other than lactose intolerance with drinking milk...cheese is fine

I think this is a great idea and would love to join as well!

Congrats! That is awesome. Every pound is a pound closer towards goal. I can say much about the average as I was just seleeved one week ago..but I will say I have lost 25 pounds since my highest weight including prep and even I cannot tell a difference..so no sweat....the scale isn't lying. You are doing awesome and keep us updated!

I am so looking forward to these things too....and in 4 days Ill be on my way:)
Here is my list: horseback riding, rollercoasters, can go to any clothes store and find my size, fly on a plane comfortably, wear a dress with confidence, get a bra from victoria's secret, and the list could go on....
