Is this the same Garnier product: http://www.garnier.com.au/_en/_au/our_products/product-struct.aspx?tpcode=OUR_PRODUCTS%5EPRD_HAIRCARE%5EFRUCTIS%5EFRUCTIS_DISCOVER%5EFRUCTIS_ANTI_DANDRUFF%5EFRUCTIS_ANTI_DANDRUFF_RTN1&prdcode=P41171 This is what we have in Australia.

3 1/2 months post op. I'm going to ask my GP on Saturday if I can have bloods, though I'm sure I'm due to have some 6 months post op before I see my surgeon for a check up.

I'm losing so much hair it's depressing. Each was i lose enough to cover the drain in the shower and it acts as a plug. It's become so thin now. I'm using a product called Swisse Ultraboost for hair, skin and nails. Can't remember exact amount but I think it was 300mg is zinc. Not sure off the top of my head how much Biotin. I also take a women's Multivitamin (Cenovis Women's Multi) so I'm probably doubling up on a few ingredients between the 2. My sister is freaking out at the amount of hair I'm losing. She's afraid to wash it when I need a good scrub. Been considering going to see a trichologist and get their opinion.

I've just posted 2 new pics of me that I took today. Can't give a link cos it keep getting an error message, so you'll just have to go via my album: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/gallery/member/22994-nessa1977/ They should be the first 2 photos.

Start weight 128kg. Now maybe 102kg? Thanks for your contact info. You may be hearing from me. I'm sure it'll past, just I'm a bit frustrated at the moment with number either going up or down. I'm seeing my surgeon next in December and he thinks I should be in my 80's. I hope so, but it's moving so slowly at the moment.

I always weigh either nekkid prior to shower or first in the morning in my PJ's. Felt like smashing the scales this morning though. I just want to be in double figures. I haven't been double figures since I was probably 16?

Sucks being a woman. I have killer cramps too. Endone from the hospital is looking very inviting at the moment LOL.

I'm not happy with my numbers. Maybe it's due to my period. I don't know. I just want to hit double figures dammit. It's soooo close, yet seems so far.

I seem to weigh less at night...I think I'll change my weigh in times. Last night I was 101.2, just now I'm 102.3. What the?!?!?!

My plan is just to take carry on on the way over. Thing is, each time I got to the US, I end up with at least 3 additional suitcases. I have so many suitcases at home I can sell them back!. Either that or I'll take 2 empty cases and put one inside the other. I dunno yet.

Am seriously going. My sister has a year to save up. Will be travelling Melbourne to Sydney/Sydney to Honolulu then catch a connecting flight to Hilo then Kona back to Honolulu. Doing Honolulu on the return because of shopping. Don't want to lug 2-4 suitcases around. Flying Hawaiian Airlines, as they have a 2 checked in baggage allowance (many airlines now only have 1...not enough for us LOL).

I'm planning 3 nights in Hilo for the volcano and surrounds, 5 or 6 nights in Kona or surrounds and 6 nights in Honolulu. Was going to go to Maui but not enough time.

Hey y'all, Sorry haven't been around much. Was computerless for a few days last week at home and I can't use the forums at work. Nothing much happening. Down to 102kg. 600gm in a week. I'm blaming my damn period (f you cramps) and the fact that I've been too lazy to exercise. I did go for a walk this morning in 5° temperature. I'll try and haul my arse out of bed early when I work at home to go for a walk. Tomorrow night I have my first Jamie Oliver Ministry of food class in Geelong....can't wait! At least I can cook my lunch for the following day LOL.

Has anyone travelled to the Big Island? Looking for accommodation. Please suggest on what area to stay and where to stay. I'm travelling in September next year, Thanks guys!

So we all know plane food isn't the best, but have you requested a specific dietary requirement post sleeve? If so, what meals did you order? I'll be travelling in the near future and would rather something light, so I'm considering the vegetarian meal option.

Which do you use? I can't completely go without, so I just have a smear of margarine: http://www.nuttelex.com.au/products/nuttelex-lite/ on my toast. I alternate between that and cream cheese or avocado. Depends on what my other toppings are.

Today marks my 3 months post op....24.2kg gone forever!!! Current weight is 103.9kg. Hope Lila is OK. Suppose due to privacy issues, they can't give out information.

It's true about happiness...even my sister says I'm much happier now. Confidence? Getting there.

I'm struggling to drink it too. I'm just managing 1lt (sorry don't know what that is in fl oz). Even with lemon juice or cordial (our version of Crystal Light), it's a struggle.

He's a specialist and only comes in on a fortnightly basis....so technically... I'll see what happens over the coming weeks. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it. I'm new to all this.

Hey we all have crappy days. I had it the other day where I practically grazed all day...and not all healthy foods.

My sister always tells me to stop frowning, which I don't realise I'm doing.

1.8kg this week...........3.9kg to go!!!

Hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks, I'll be in DOUBLE FIGURES Last time I was in double figures was probably in my mid to late teens. So excited! Got just a tad over 4kg to go until I'm below 100kg. My surgeon did say he'd like me in the 80's when I next see him. Looking like a possibility.
