  3. Good luck! Hope all turns our well.
  4. Very normal. It comes and goes. I love food and I mourn it often. Sad but true.
  5. Freaking out!!! My hair is falling out in huge clumps when I wash it. My dr said he doesn't think it is from my WLS. But I'm not so sure. I want to know if anyone else has experienced this problem. If yes what are your suggestions for stoping and/or slowing the loss down?
  6. I think you may be right. I am a little tight. It's not a good feeling at all. I could only eat 3 1/2 grilled shrimp for supper and nothing else.

  8. I am 5 months post op an d have just gotten my third fill. The restriction is crazy! I can't eat but a few bites of anything. Not even an entire banana. My question is: is this a normal fill or am I too tight? I have lost 4 pounds in a week since the fill.

  13. I am 5 weeks out and after my 1st fill I had these regret decisions again. Just calm down it will pass. Everything will be okay. Give yourself some time and realize you have just made a life changing decision. It takes time to get used to it. But you will and you will be glad you did it.
  14. I have no restriction. 5 weeks post op. lost 18 pounds and 9 inches so far. The scale hasn't moved in the past 2 weeks. Very frustrated. Had no fills yet. Ate like a pig today but have been following the diet for the most part.
  15. Hello all. I am 5 days post op. trying to get in my protein. The shakes are just not cutting it. They make me puke. Can I do milk instead? I do not want to puke as I have 2x already and it really hurts.
  16. 5 days post op--have such a disgusting taste in my mouth. Will this go away? Can I chew gum? Also--what about bowel movements? I've only had a very watery one (sorry for TMI) is that normal? I am scared of being constipated. Thanks in advance!
  17. Hi. I am 4 days post op. I am having trouble with liquids too. Popsicles have helped me a lot. I haven't been able to do the protein drinks.
  18. I need a buddy/mentor; someone who can keep me sane...:-) my surgery was nov 21,2012. I live in north Alabama. Are there any support groups in north Alabama near Jasper?
  19. My surgery was wed 4 days ago. I regret it very very much.
