    Hair Loss

    I started losing hair about two weekday ago. Ugh...there wasn't a lot there to start with & its frustrating, but I look & feel so good that I don't care as much. We'll see how I feel about it in a few months!

    Flax & Chai Seeds?

    Does anyone know if its ok to have flax seeds at around 6 months out? I don't have a NUT to ask!
  4. I went to the hospital after my surgery & one of the nurses said that when out bodies go into shock it holds on to weight b/c it thinks its dieing! Be patient. You'll be clothes falling off thin soon!

    Vision Changes Anyone?

    I have had vision changes for sure & have read that it is a temporary problem with dramatic weight loss. It will correct itself, just like all the other shocks to our bodies...this is just one of thema

    Trouble With Eggs Post-Op?

    I couldn't tolerate eggs either. I'm 3 months out & I tried them in the mushy stage & I felt so bad that I never tried them again.

    Awesome Pumpkin Protein Bars

    Love this. Will be trying soon. I made lo-carb crepes last night. Whoa, buddy. Also made them for the family & put jelly on top of theirs! My son said, "Mom, these are as good as IHOP!" Guess he couldn't tell they were healthy!

    Vitamins

    Try 1st choice for energy liquid vitamins. I have had tons of luck with it. It foes make me flush for about 5 minutes when I get to the bottom of the bottle, probably b/c I'm not shaking it good enough! I found it cheapest on Walgreen's website

    Yoga

    My husband, very reluctantly, started joining me in yoga each morning b/c he wants to improve his ride (cycle) quality. At first we couldn't make it through a workout together b/c I would end up on the floor laughing so hard I had to hold myself, but eventually he got it. Hrs not great at it & by no means looks graceful, BUT be can tell a difference in his ride. He doesn't fall as much. Also, if you can get your hands on a copy of AB-ripper X (the P90X core video) that is a great ab workout & its just 15 minutes. Try ordering a 10-minute solution yoga video at home to avoid embarrassment! Start with one 10-minute section then add on each week. You'll see a difference within a week. Make sure you really listen to the cues that the instructor is giving b/c we've conditioned our bodies to slouch or stand incorrectly, so try to do exactly what she is saying & watch her moves at first. You cab do this. Yoga is super beneficial!

    I Don't Understand 'sliders.'

    This is such a good question. I have been sleeved for 6 weeks, so I know what a slider is, but have no idea where they go?
  14. I've noticed that a lot of people post about hair loss. Is this something that happens to everyone or just some people? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? I've already got really thin hair, can't imagine losing any!

    Mood Swings?

    I feel like an absolute mess right now. I think its due to my grief over food. I was/am completely addicted to food & now that I can't have it like I used to, I feel insane. Hoping it will pass soon. I'm 5 weeks out.
