Hello all! Boy am I glad to have found y'all. I am nearly 6months post op and I am experiencing awful hair loss. I'm mostly seeing thinning. Have any of you experienced this? Any suggestions?

I got it from my local grocery store. It was on the same aisle as the rice. Instead of cooking it with Water I used organic chicken broth. It absorbs flavor very well. Surprisingly, I really like it.

Hi all! I'm eight weekd out and still stalling. Trying to think positive. Anywho...I'm a rice fanatic but I'm trying new things. Is quinoa ok for us sleevers?

So, I reached 7 weeks on Tuesday and I've come to a stall...plus a 3 pound gain Why does this happen?! Its so frustrating... Any insight?

I was extremely nauseous with dry heeving for the first day and a half. It'll pass. Be strong! Praying for you.

So, I just at a super small salad. I think I may have had one bite too many. I feel sick and like the food won't go down. Should I throw up? I've been struggling with knowing when I'm full. I don't get the "full feeling" anymore.

Thank you to everyone who responded. Yall are THE absolute best. Your encouragement means the most!

I'm 3 weeks out and I must say I expected to have lost more than I have. Day of surgery I was 240....today I am 225. Is this good weight loss? I know everyone loses differently, but I have neen following my diet to a tee. My weight keeps fluctuating. Ill lose then gain a few. I thought this didn't happen until later on. Any advice?

Hey yall! Does anyone know who long one should wait to have a glass of wine?

I feel the same way. I am a little over a week out, and haven't had any issues. Never needed pain meds in hospital or at home. I was actually thinking to myself today if I was REALLY sleeved.

Its amazing to see the different liquid diets people are on. I WISH my doc would allow me to have yogurt. I have my one week follow up tomorrow, and I pray that by some miracle my doc says "go ahead and have some yogurt" I'd be so happy, I'd cry!

Oh goodness am I glad I'm not the only one feeling some kinda way about this darn "fluids only" post op diet. I'm on day 6 as well, and I predict by weeks end I will lick a hamburger patty or something. This is difficult, but knowing I'm not alone makes it a lil more bearable lol

Hey yall! I'm three days out, and just loving this liquid diet...Lol NOT! What are yall consuming besides the regular protein shake and broth. I need some ideas to shake things up a bit. Thanks in advance

Hey yall!! Today is the day! I go in at noon. Keep myself and all those being sleeved today in your prayers please.

Thank you guys! Your suggestions were a huge help!

Hey yall! My surgery is tomorrow and I don't know what to pack. Suggestions please!

Praying for all of you being sleeved tomorrow. Stay positive! The best is yet to come!!

I'm to be there by noon. I'm curious what time the procedure will actually take place. What type of pre op diet are you on?

I'm having my surgery in the 20th with Dr. Carcamo Maybe I will see you there!

Hi all! Today is day 1 of my pre op diet as well. I am to be sleeved on the 20th! Yay for all of us! I'd love to keep in touch with you all during thos journey

Unfortunately, my doctor has Instructed that I only mix my shakes with water...booorring! I tried mixing 6 oz of coffee with two scoops of vanilla flavored protein this morning. The taste was ok, but the texture is what I'm going to have to figure out. I have a feeling I will be sticking to broths more than shakes at this point. I've heard a lot about Unjury. I will have to try it. Thanks yall!
