Just start out walking. Set little goals for yourself such as walking a block for 2 days then increase to 2 blocks and so fourth.

The hair loss is coming and you are batteling 2 things..... 1) lack of or decrease of Protein. 2) anethesia they use has hairloss as one of its side effects. You will notice the hair loss around the 3-5 month post-op. Mine was 3 months.

I just posted the same thing on another post. It's the little things that are our great moments.

LOL...I was so excited when I could cross my legs.

My Dr and RD have always suggested that most proteins come from food, and most of mine do with the exception of breakfast as I cannot eat eggs which is a great source of protein. Prior to my surgery I was a frappachino-holoic and found that I LOVED the believe cappuccino (bariatric eating site). They are a bit pricey as well as the s&h, but they helped me get over my frapp addiction and it was a taste I got use to. Best of luck to you.

More than likely the hairloss is due to 2 things. The anethesia that is typically used has as its side effect.....hairloss. the second reason has to do with protein. I agree with the other posters that Hilton will be helpful.

Thank you all for the help and ideas. I should have thought of these myself, but i have just been so frustrated.

My weight has been stalled for the last few weeks. I have reviewed my food journal just to make certain nothing is out of the ordinary, and every thing is good and on target. I'm exercising several days a week, and get more than enough Water. What have any of you done when your weight loss stalled? Thanks, P

The carbs are within our limits. Their stuff is actually tasty....if you love reuse cups, then their Choc peantbutter bars are good....no, not exactly like a reese cup but it is good, and the strawberry cheesecake bars are great.

Don't do it!!!! Yes it is easy, but you will find yourself skit.g it more and more. What I did was to make sure I did not buy my family snacks that I liked. This way i avoid temptation. Recently my Dr. Office opened a nutrition store. And they have protein chips. And when I want chips, that's what i eat. They are by a company called health wise out of grovetown, Ga. WWW.healthwisenri.com their flavors are......bbq, ranch, salt and vinegar. They have much more protein than lays...lol.

I wish both of you the best!!! Go ahead and get ur ideas together for your 2 weeks of liquids, soft, pureed, etc. And stay away from potatoes during the soft food stage they r high Carb and do not help in weights in the long term. Again, I wish you both the best.

It was difficult for me to get use to as well. They way I sorta got around it was to eat no sugar added fruit.

Oh goodness I made the mistake of drinking soda about a year ago, and i vowed that I would never drink another carbonated drink again in my life. It was the most painful thing ever. Needless to say....I learned my lesson.
