I am just over 3 months out and just started shedding, I have think hair to begin with. I have been taking Biotin for over 6 months now, I am getting 60 grams of protein a day, I truly hope it stops, I am terrified. I did have new hair growth just from taking the Biotin for so long, and those little hairs are falling out. I am due to go to the salon for my hair dye, and I may put it off for now. I lost 40 pounds 10 years ago, and did not experience hair loss at all.

I still get cravings, surgery was 8/6. More now than before, but I ignore them and go to the right food. It does not take it all away, most is mental. You will be less hungry, and eat way less. It does not take away hunger, when you eat you will eat a very small amount and feel full, unlike before when you may have had a plate or two like me It is the best thing I ever did.

I had my surgery on 8/6/2013, I am still rarely hungry and when I eat it is a couple spoons and full. I do not over due it, or I feel sick. It is so awesome though, to not eat plates of food. I start with my protein and if I have room for veggies I eat some, but get so full fast. I eat 4-5 small meals a day, including snack like 8 almonds, or cheese stick.

Yes, it is all mental this eating game, I now eat to live, not live to eat...feel like a new life

I am 8 weeks tomorrow, and I too feel like I do not get enough veggies in, I focus on protien then after that I am full. I try to have a lil spinach, or green beans with dinner, but I am so worried about protein intake I make that first priority. I hope I will be able to eat more eventually.

The best so far, I have it everyday is Syntrax nectar Capaccino, it is amazing. I add milk, coffee, and ice and blend.

Yes, It was not that bad. The ABG hurt like hell, but was fast.

I am almost 7 weeks out and rarely get hungry, I eat to get my protien in that si all. So different now, I eat to live, not live to eat, it is so awesome. My stomach growls, but I do not feel hungry. I eat 4 small meals a day, like 3-4 oz mostly protien, and veggies if I can fit them in too.

I have Isopure, and it is okay. I had it today in a shake with stawberries, fat free milk,and a banana. I do not think any of them are great tasting, you need to mask it by using strong flavors with it.

I know hwo you feel, I too have friends and family who eat all the time and that is what we did for fun. I still go out with them, and enjoy but just eat soup or something healthy. It is all mental I am going through this now, you want to eat it but can't. I am now just starting to not crave those things, and cant imagine hoe I ate so much just 6 weeks ago. How life changing is this

I am 5 weeks out too,and I am about the same. Anything soft is much easier, I make think it gets easier as we heal more.

I make a shake with either Isopure vanilla ot chocolate powder 1 3/4 scoops, 1 cup coffee. 1 cup fat free milk, and a dash of Davinci sugar free caramel syrup( order three large bottles from amazon $18.00) mix in a shaker cup. I make it the night before put in frig and ready to go in the morning so good, and 48 grams of protein.

I bought Campbells light cream soups, and added fat free milk instead of water for more protein.

Of course, I am a Manager of 3 large pediatric office's in PA. I just feel when I am home, I am able to eat more. I tend to get hungry at the end of my work day around 2pm. I eat protein first always, then add some soft vegtables. But usually takes an hour to eat it all, I am getting used to eating hot food when it gets cold I just returned to work 9/3, and had surgery on 8/6. My doctor put me on a full diet after only 1 week.

Hi All, I am wondering why I can't eat that much now, I was able to drink 3-4 oz no problem, this past week since I have been back in work, I eat and feel like I am gonna puke. I am so stressed about getting my Protein in and losing my hair if i dont. I am a mess. I have my shake in the morning, but now takes me longer to drink it. I am getting all my Vitamins in. Is it because I am healing and the sleeve was abel to stretch before?

I had pain too, I started taking Gas X and the gas pain went right away, I took one a half hour before every meal, it was a blessing. Try it.

I take 7500 a day

I am a month put, actually cheated a bit half slice of pizza woke up the next day 2 lbs down....so odd

me too a month out still do a protein shake, and add fat free milk. A couple times a week, I may make egg beaters, with a bit of cheese. I try to 80% of my protein in at morning time.

I seen my PCP and am 5'3 and 207, she said lose 10 pound you'll be fine, I was shocked and yet she coded my sheet with morbidly obese, really! I a tally did not involve her at on my decision, I called when I needed referrals and that was it. And i had high BP, and borderline high cholesterol. Do what you feel you need. I am 4 weeks today, and best decision I ever made. I am so happy

I make a I up, Keurig and put In frig til cold, add coffee, Isopure 2 scoops Dutch chocolate protein powder or vanilla, Davinci. Sugar free caramel syrup, and a cup of fat free milk shake add ice and it is amazing, taste just like dunkin mocha frap, my daughter was shocked when she had it. I been getting creative lately so I do mot get bored, but I need caffeine in the morning, only do one cup. Plus just one shake is 40 grams of protein.

I had them too, was told Tylenol was good and that was third day after. Drink low cal Gatorade too

I am almost 4 weeks out and still happens after I eat or drink, it is fine!
