Born ad raised in Milwaukee but just moved to South Carolina.....wish I culd start a group down here also.

I am kinda happy and sad at the time. Went to my 1 week post-op appt at the doc. I only lost 9 lbs. Others have lost double that. I am happy to have lost but I thought it was more.

Congrats! Stay focused. Great things ahead!

I was also wondering about the hair loss issue. I have a natural afro and wondered what I could do to keep it from shedding? Congrats to the ladies who have upcoming surgeries. My experience was not bad at all and so far week 1 has been great. According to my scale have lost 7 pounds since tuesday.

When this happened to me it was the "having no salt" in my diet anymore. After 4 or 5 days the headaches stopped. Hang in there, you should be alright soon. I know it sucks, lol.

Congrats a million times. I can't wait for that feeling myself.

Ok, so I went through this for two days and didn't realize it was the jello. Does anyone know why this happens? I love my jello, so does this stop afterwhile or do I give away my jello to the kids, lol.?

Thus far my meals consits of water, protein shakes, chicken broth, and jello. I was stuffed all day yesterday. My family of course cooked and ate whatever they wanted but it did bother me any. Since I was never hungery, I never craved what they had.

Thanks neek41.

Hello all. I live in Florence SC. Just got sleeved on sept 18th. Everything went well. I should be going home today. The only thing I noticed is that I now have acid reflux again. Is that normal? When will it stop?

Congrats for reaching ONEderland, lol. I can't wait to see that number also.

First day post-op. All is well. Should go home on time thursday.

Surgery was a success with no complications. This is my first day post-op. Been up and walking. Some back and stomach pain yesterday already gone away today. About to drink my first two oz of water.

Tomorrow is the big day. I have to be there at 6am. I am happy the journey is beginning.
