Sunshine Girl

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!

Thanks ladies!

Does anyone know if its ok to have flax seeds at around 6 months out? I don't have a NUT to ask!

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!

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

What an awesome recipie!

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.

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

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!

Wow! Sounds amazing.

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?

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!

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.

As you can see from the posts, you are not alone. I am 5 weeks out & still have trouble. Water hurts or feels heavy in my tummy. I have to have a certain kind of water, only out of a certain bottle, only on the hour mark...joking! I think it just takes time. I reward myself for each bottle I drink!

I've always had smaller boobs, like 38b...sucky huh? But my boobs are still always the first place I lose. Down to a 36a now. Hope the rest of my body catches up soon!

Buying clothes at the mall.

Ok, I'm posting this as fair warning. If you're not hungry...eat anyways. Eat something. Here's what happened to me. On Friday I had my usual shake for breakfast. I had a busy day filled with funtastic things to do. Well, now that my body doesnt get hungry, I totally forgot to eat. Saturday morning I woke up & felt a little off, but went on with my morning routine. As the minutes clicked by I realized that everything was going dark & I was shaking really bad. I literally could not stand on my own & felt like I was going to fall. I crawled over to the sink, made my shake then Sat down on the floor & drank it. It was only a matter of minutes before I had my wits about me, but I was home alone & it was super scary. Just wanted to share this so that if your having one of those, "I'm too busy to eat days" you'll eat anyway. Anyone else has this happen?

I love my vitamins. They don't upset my stomach & aren't horrible tasting, they aren't awesome tasting either, but good enough to swallow. The first day I took then was the first day after surgery that I felt like doing anything. They are called 1st choice for energy & I got the multivitamin. Oh, did I mention that they're liquid? Check 'em out, around $15 for one month supply on Amazon.

Just wondering where all my Feb 9th buddies are? Anyone? Dr. Almanza patients?

I don't know if you guys have this where you live, but we have a lactose free milk called 'Mootopia' & it has 12 g of protein per 8 oz!

Oh gosh, there is No WAY I could get in 1200 calories. I'm 5 weeks out & have been on solids for about 2 weeks. It seems virtually impossible to eat more than around 500-600. You'll understand once your sleeved. Maybe after a year or so! It's a good thing! :-)

Whoooo! The first week is so rough. I got a staph infection so I was in the hospital & now I'm really glad I was b/c at 4 weeks out I still have a hard time getting in all my fluids. Take it easy, do what you can & be proud of yourself for what you can do.

Wow, guys! Thanks so much for the support. I do feel better. Love the way y'all explained this. My husband said, "Don't worry about this stall. You have no choice but to lose weight!" He was right & so are y'all. Than.ls again for the encouragment. I'm so glad I have this forum to check in with.

For the last 4 days I have weighed in at the same amount. I am a little over 4 weeks out & I have hears of several people talk about a stall around this time. For those of you who have had stalls, how long did yours last? Also, very close to my visit from aunt Flo. Could that be a contributor?

I use one called "Calorie Counter" & I love it! It has a bar code scanner, all major chains, calculates fat, calories, protein & Carbs. Has some other cool features that I don't use much.
