oh my gosh! me exactly! It started on Halloween with 1/2 a reeses- now I have eaten a little sugar every day- and not lost!! I am upping my protein tomorrow and only doind protein shakes for 2 meals and my lean protein for dinner-- have to get back on track.... Learned my lesson- No Sugar for me!! Slippery slope!!!

the trick is to find a protein drink you really lime- that is key. for me it is Matrix Chocolate Mint cookie- no aftertaste- really good. I order on Amazon.

You can do this! try eating something like sugar free popsicles or another good protein drink with a lite fruit in it when you want to cheat. It is sooo worth it. 5 months out- 80 lbs.

mine never called me- in fact- I have not talked to him since surgery- just the nurses.

just wanted to reach out to u and tell u it will get better. this is temporary- when u graduate to soft mushies- it gets better fast. do EXCTLY what u r supposed to- do nit get dehydrated. For the next two weeks- getting ur fluids and protein in are a full time job. hang in there- its soooo worth it- 4 mos here- 70 lbs.

congrats congrats. I think it has been 18 years since I saw a 1!

I have Ankolysing spondylitis and fibromyalgia. I am 7 weeks post- op and 40 lbs down. I am in a flare right now and Its severity is much less than in the past. I have not taken any related meds since surgery. Some days have been tough, but not near as tough as before with more weight and inactivity. I have had organ involvement before too. The two biggest thing I can tell you us this. Start washing your stomach and under your breasts with Hibiclens one week before surfery to help prevent infection. Then use 2-3 times a week after - so you dont get an infection. Because our immune systems are broken, I also had a terrible severe allergic reaction to the surgical glue tgey used to clise. It went into my entire body and I ran higher fevers, had to chug the Benedryl and it made me feel really sick. I strongly suggest eitger making them do a patch test on you a couple of weeks before or not using it at

FYI- the best is matrix mint cookie- no funny aftertaste at all, but you have to order. I order 5 lbs at a time on amazon.

The best one I have found is Matrix chocolate mint cookies and cream- hard to find tgough, so I special order on Amazon. The mint disguises the protein badness and it freezes into yummy fudge icles.

no- the best protein shake I have found is matrix chocolate mint cookies and cream- hands own. Hard to find, but I order mine on amazon. something about the mint masks the sometimes icky protein aftertaste.

I live in Dallas and was sleeved 5/30. Love the idea of a monthly support group. Lets set one up for July?

I actually have some Biotin sublingual in liquid form. Do you think I can take?? I have a custom partial hairpiece I had made 2 years ago because my hair thinned alot from some medication I had to take. It was not cheap- but looks awesome- totally blends in. If the hairloss bothers anyone, this is an option. Just research for a good place. I go to a place in Fort Worth. 1 1/2 hours away but well worth it.

just keep your eye on the ball. Remember- you will feelmuch better when you get home.
