expect it, the typical from what the nurse told me and I have experienced as many have on this board is 4 to 6 month period then possible reversal. What helps is Biotin daily. I also use a laser comb and Ovation hair Shampoo (seems to slow the growth and makes hair fine on me but it is not coming out anymore) For all that you hear from some here - it has really nothing to do with Protein else men would not have been losing hair since we are mostly beef eaters. It is due to a major change to body from the rapid weight loss and should change back over time.

Just take the number of Vitamins you need, no sense carrying all the bottles. As for shake, just measure amounts into zip lock bags, doubt security will notice and if they do and taste they will know it isn't drugs. What is worst case, they confiscate it.

Great! Good Eating. Still make the bread toasted so it doesn't expand with liquids.

doesn't matter the order, just separate the two by 2 hours. You should take Vitamin C with the Iron.

my doctor said about 4 to 6 months. With weight loss after 6 months I had a beer with my brother-in-law, make it about 1/2 to 3/4 of a beer and I was very buzzed. a margarita maybe to much so expect A) you might get very drunk and so soon out, sick to your stomach. Forget the drink, have a good time nobody will mind if you drink Water.

Use half a banana, strawberries, or other types of items to add taste.

I also went Kaiser, pretty quick process, my delay was my schedule not theirs. No special preop diet just had to show weight loss which really isn't all that bad and helps with post surgery to maintain. Think best way to go than those who think flying to Mexico for a quicky works, Kaiser teaches you how to do it right and the cost was $0. Good luck on you surgery.

I was buying new clothes after the first two weeks when down 20 pounds. Rule of thumb is 1 inch for every 10 pounds.

looking good. I had surgery at 235 goal for height is 150 and the doctor and I thought 180 is limit. I originally thought 170 but at 190 the doctor and I reset goal to 180.

Hopefully the guy is paying more attention to you then to what you are eating or drinking. Not their business about your surgery on a first date anyway.

give or take 4 ounces but check with surgeon, my doctor left it a tad bigger than normal. At two weeks I could take a full protein shake. Think of it this way, your stomach is the size of a medium banana, what could you fit in an empty banana peel

Not even two weeks out, I wouldn't worry at this point. You should be into mushy phase soon so enjoy having your meal with him. Physical activity will take a bit, it took me 4 weeks before I felt like doing anything physical. Give it a good month and your life will be going back to normal

my doctor told me what doesn't settle now may in the future. if necessary stay on liquid protein diet and try once a day some sort of mushie. Try a part of a banana even if it is one bite every minute. Don't do more than one type at a time and see what settles.

I didn't take any full days off. I worked half days for 3 days and back to full days after that.

Found combination Biotin, Ovation cell therapy and Rogaine working well hair returning ending month 6

Just a lot of liquids, it will pass. Take your stool softener as once it returns you will likely need it.

May not be stall you may have maxed out surgery results. Pre surgery 235 ideal 150. 50% expected surgery loss of 40 lbs now 190. That is it. My goal 180 may not get there can't reduce food intake more. Exercise will not do it alone as you metabolism adjusts to caloric intake. Take some time off add calories then start again to jump start metabolism again. Reality you may be at surgery weight. I did that at month 4 now ending 6. Not a stall I reached Eden

Hey cpt i have to get rid of my machine with all attachments and new unopened mask and filters plus humidifier. Kaiser didnt want it back and said to put it up on eBay Lissa Glad you had success with it, I woke up over 100 times an hour got better than normal after surgery Sleeve master Good luck sleep center was negative with me yammering less than 5% ever get off but my doctor and I confident and got rid of it after study took more than 20% more like 30% from 305 down to 200 lbs

After 10 years I got rid of my cpap with the weight loss. For the first 12 months the cpap did nothing for me, it did not give me more sleep. As for getting used to mask, that was not a problem. From day 1 it is just a matter of getting it adjusted so it is not to tight or loose. No need to be apprehensive.

Trial and error time, as my doctor said what you can't tolerate now you may later. I am 6 months postop and still run into a combination that doesn't sit well. This happened at dinner tonight. Try bland stuff, yougurt, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, mashed banana

from the male perspective, I have the same problem with my wife. She likes to yell, scream and I ate a lot from emotions caused by her that I allowed to affect me. With therapy I learned to not let her get to me and now 6 months postop and 45 pounds lighter, goal weight, she is now losing weight and because I am calm, ignoring her when she screams, she is calming down. Hang in there and realize you have the right to your feelings and stand your ground. You have support here but if you need some help to cope, get a good psychologist or therapist to help you cope.

Everyone a little different, I was drinking pretty good after getting out of hospital, more than sipping. This is not like bypass surgery, you still have a stomach the size of a medium to large banana. Just don't drink more than 30 minutes before eating, so you can eat, during meals so you don't fill up on liquids, and not to soon after to prevent washing the food through the system before minerals and vitamins absorbed since you are taking in so little after surgery and for next 4 to 6 weeks.

There is only like less than a 1% mortality rate. Just relax and enjoy the time. Plan your last full meal before surgery and have fun.

hippa applies to doctors and medical offices in releasing information. If you opt to tell people, including clergy, they are not under any obligation to spill the Beans, though if you ask them they probably won't. Only clergy bound not to tell are Catholic Priests when done as a Confession. Best way to keep a secret, never tell anyone.

Just tell them you have stomach flu and make it simple, it will explain why you are not eating. They will likely not press for anymore information. Sorry you will miss your prom, it is possible you can make it (I was in on a Thursday and could have been out on Saturday but opted to stay another day as I wasn't drinking Water (iv keep me hydrated so I didn't feel like drinking) otherwise I was fine to walk, drive, etc. it is expensive gamble to get tickets and a dress. but if you do go just stick to water and no snaking.
