HELP!!!!!!! Looking for a good shampoo and conditioner for my frizzy,dry, lack luster hair. I'm 4 & 1/2 months out and it was falling out bad but it's starting to slow down. I can't find anything to help with the dull,frizzy hair.

I had my gastric sleeve done on Feb 18th, 2013. I am 57 lbs down and I feel great. But, I am having one problem. My hair has always been thin and now it's even thinner. Everytime I comb or brush it was my hair I loss quite a bit daily. I'm eating and drinking my protein. I'm taking my vitamins and I've added 2000 mcg of Biotin daily. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Today is my 2 minth anniversary as well. I'm down 45 pounds and I'm actually working out at a gym 3 Times a week. I'm so glad I decided to have this surgery. I feel better than I have in years.

Ive been back to work for 3 days now. It does get harder but I'm not hungry at all. Ive noticed that I crave food esp when I smell it or someone starts talking about what are we going to eat for lunch. Be prepared. I carry a variety of things I can eat with me. Keep strong. My surgery was 3/18/13. I've lost 25lbs and have been stalled for a week now. Very frustrating but my cloths are getting bigger so I guess Im doing something right.

My surgery was on Monday the 18th. When do you start to feel normal. Im having severe nausea, water stool (I still have a lot of gas in me) Please help, Im feeling kind if defeated.

I had my surgery Monday the 18th. I had some side effects from the anesthesia, Ive never had before. Blurry vision, massive cotten mouth. Thank god hose have gotten better but I cant get over the nausea. Any suggestions???

Kitten, That is absolutely amazing. My surgery is Feb 18th. Since you are a year out, what do you eat now? With that much weightloss do you have a lot of excess skin?

Kitten, how much have you lost?

Honestly, I'm telling everyone I know. Im excited. I think it helps me not to angry that I cant lose weight naturally.

How do you get 5 meal replacement shakes in a day??? I had a hard time getting 3 shakes in. Please give me some suggestions.

I am curious!!!!! How much weight did you lose the first week and the second week? Im 5 days in and Ive only lost 6 lbs. Is that right or am I doing something wrong?

I live in Louisville, ky. My bariatric surgeon makes sure that you sit down and talk to him. He also does a pre-op EGD so he knows what he is getting into before the surgery. You see him at the hospital then 1 week and 30 day visit, and every 3 months until your first year.

You have taken some great steps there by doing your pros and cons. Read some of the books out there they really help. Im the same weight and Bmi but im in my 40's. I would definitely do the surgery at your age. My surgery is Feb 18th. I know when I got done with the last office visit I was so overwelmed by the info. I was questioning it too but not anymore. Hang in there.

Congrats!!!! Have you made the date yet?

Thank you. It was like the devil was on one shoulder and the angel on the other.lol. My angel side won.

Omg today must be the day of temptations. One of the ladies just came by and had white castles and asked if I wanted one and now the Drug Rep just brought in Cracker Barrell. Lord give me stength. Im so proud of myself I ate 4oz of grilled chicken and a couple carrots. This road block didnt get me. YEAH ME!!!!!!!!

Thanks everybody, the support does really help. One more question, does anyone know how long it takes to get rid of a no caffeine headache?

Its been a couple of hours and Im feeling better. I'm drinking my protein shake slowly. I didn't get my 3rd protein shake in lastnight. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?

This is the second day of my 2wk liquid diet. I woke up feeling great but now, im really nauseous and so tired I could just go back to bed. But I've got to work.

Ive got the bariatric advantage protein powder and some nectar protein fruity drinks.

Im so excited but scared to death all at the same time.

Monday I start my liquid diet. My gastric sleeve is on Feb 18. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get through the next 2 weeks?
