  9. Yeah I'd agree you may still be bloated/swollen. Your body will hold fluid the fluid as its way of healing. Just give it time. Congrats on your success thus far enjoy the journey.
  10. I take bariatric fusion 3x a day. It has biotin in it to help avoid hair loss.

  16. Sounds like you are doing great. I was down about the same. I'm 3 months now and down 40. Doesn't happen overnight. "Slower" loss is kinder to your skin anyway.
  17. Off and on for 2 weeks now. Doesn't always occur after eating. I'm just constantly nauseated :/ anyone experience this?
  18. Did you have any hair loss/thinning? You hair is beautiful (the rest of you too! )

  22. I'm not sure what you are asking for help with? You have to give us more info. Are you thinking that is too much loss, too little? What was your starting weight? I was down about the same in 7/8 weeks if that helps at all. I am just shy of 3 months out and down 42 lbs. Starting weight 230.
  23. I wore my own PJ's in the hospital. I think my dry mouth/breath was the worst. I used these disposable tooth brush things called "Wisps" they were great. ChapStick was crucial.
