  6. Hi I'm 11 months out and 97lbs pounds down this is to say you are far ahead of the curve if keep loosing at that rate. By the time you get far out you will surpass most. So don't compare be happy. Keep up the Fantastic work. I love my sleeve
  7. I definitely experienced hair loss. I think making sure you get your protein in is important. 11 months out my hair is growing. I slacked off on my protein for a we while now trying to get back to basics. I do wear wigs even before though. Good luck
  8. I think you should be ok . Its good that you're getting a jump on it and gettng it taken care of. And rember to hydrate yourself. I would just give it a several days and see if it turns around and follow up you should be fine. good luck
  9. Cheri, Sorry for you loss. Sending Hugs and we support you.
  10. congratulations you're looking good.
  11. I feel for you and I will pray for you. But do try to get your Fluids down even small cups at a time. And contact your doctor as soon as possible you may need an IV if you get too dehydrated. But I understand how you feel because since I had the sleeve I've easily caught a few viruses that I usually wouldn't get so, I hope you feel better soon.
  12. Ready to go protein shakes are good. High protein yogurt. It depends on how far you are out as well. I eat far less fast food than before the sleeve.
  13. This is a good thread. I started at a size 22/24 and now i am in a size 8 stretch pants about an 8/10 top. Congrats all
  14. i agree Please ask your Nut there recommendation about coffee, because each physician has a different recommendation. I couldn't tolerate coffee too soon. But i certainly do have a cup every day now. However, i do not tolerate or take carbonated beverages. Tried one sip or two and instantly have problems. I don't even crave the soda/pop any more. Never could imagine that i would so easily give up Pepsi my old favorite. Good Luck
  15. Yea, i when through a protocol set by my Nut for the sleeve surgery. where my diet advanced as my stomach healed. They gave me medicine cups to drink out of. So i m not going to assume what you mean by this with out details. Because even Water felt like a burger to me in the beginning lol.
  16. Bless you for sharing. Congrats on your weight loss. Wishing you continued Success.
