I had my surgery on November of 2013.....I can eat a cup of greek yogurt. I asked for a larger bougie though. I would think that you should be able to eat more than that now. Your new tummy will stretch some. hows the weight loss coming? Are you healthy and able to get enough water in ? These things are a must.....you have to be able to get enough protein, nutrition and water in to live a healthy life. I would call your Dr. and see what he as to say. You shouldnt have to spend the whole day working on getting food in a t this point ; /

Hi, I had my surgery in early November of 2012. Seven months out and my hair is falling out like crazy...very scary. I consume 63 grams of unjury protein,46 grams of lowfat greek yogurt protein a day plus eat chicken breast or ham and low fat cheese sticks ..every day. I also snack on almonds and that has an additional 5 grams of protein. So I eat about 120 or more grams of protein a day. I also take my vitamins,calcium and biotin every day. It feels like i have lost about half of my hair on the crown of my head. I have tried the hair shampoos for falling hair and nothing works.....According to my bloodwork, I am healthy. I sleep well and have good energy. Everything is awesome except I'm still losing my hair. I have searched on here for other experience on hair loss but have not found anyone going to any great length on the subject, especially long term. i would like to pop in a give my own account in order to help others. It may not be important to you now but when its YOUR hair falling out, it will be different. Having hair all over your clothes and on the floor is not fun. Its embarrassing .My advice on that matter is do not wear clothes that are in great contrast to your hair color. Wear clothes that are the same color as your own hair. Also, you might just want to take more bathroom breaks at work and take your shirt off and pick off the hair a few times a day. Having told my story as it is and has been, i still choose the weight lose over the hair. I do have two inch long hairs sticking up all over the crown of my head now...YeaH!!! Besides, I THINK that we notice much more than others.. Most people walk through life completely self immersed , we only fear that they are noticing those things that we stand in front of the mirror hating : ) I hope this helps those looking for information. I hope that it does not deter you from committing to the surgery. it was the best thing that i have ever done for myself ! I am completely happy with my results. I went from a size 14 down to a sizes 6 and even 4 . Life is good and this too shall pass . I remember the early surgery days when it was hard to get my protein in and the sleepless nights and feeling tired. Its all gone now and a distant memory. Im sure this hair loss will be the same one day, a distant memory ! The pictures are pictures that I took after brushing my hair this morning. My hair will continue to fall during the day and when I brush my hair later, my brush will again have tons of hair in it. For awhile i was too frighten to brush my hair more than once a day...better to brush it than to have it fall over your clothing. : )

I had my surgery November the 9th. Im down 45 lbs now and have lots lots of inches.....never measured but have gone from size 14 down to a 6 . God is good .

Speak out in love . You will find that you earn the respect of the person you want to reach . People of low self esteem like to find fault with others and point it out. Love yourself more.

I use Unjury chocolate splendor ...it tastes awesome ! My favorite way to drink it is to brew a cup of decaf coffee,let it cool to 140 degrees and then add the protein and mix...heavenly ! Be sure to not mix your protein with anything over 140 degrees as it kills the protein. I also bought the unflavored and chicken unjury.... I make sure i have two servings a day at least and that gives me 42 grams of protein....sometimes i have a extra coffee unjury at night for a treat. I also use the blue isopure when im running short...4o grams in a bottle...i love the blue...will not try the others.

Try to not let it bother you. It ws the same for me . While nothing showed on the sacral it did show in my clothing. You will quite often lose inches and the scale will stay the same...Never fear or become discouraged...I started at a size 14 and am wearing size 8 and 6 now. I'm 8 weeks out

I gave up my diet cokes too...never bothered me as I never let myself give it thought. i drank two Sonic route 44 's a day. Im two months out from surgery and 40 pounds down. It was a great trade : )

I think those power shots are sugar free......I have some...they taste sweet but they havent any real sugar...I would call your doctor.....sleeping on the side of the road is not a good thing. Hope you slept rather than passed out. sounds weird.....

don't listen to her.....she isnt your doctor. You do not have to be on the shakes for the rest of your life.. You will eventually be able to eat enough protein without the shakes and milk is good..it adds calcium. I use UNJURY brand, tastes awesome but you have to buy it online.....its worth the trouble.

sperm can travel through clothing ( this is why condoms are not made of fabric but "Rubber " )...they are microscopic and the moistness on his part is pre ejaculation.....just as good as ejaculation... Chances are slim but possible. Call your doctor and get doctors opinion and or take a pregnancy test...two days late.. ought to pick it up by now if you are wish you well...

make him wear a condom next time.....then you will have 0 chances of it....

Did they ever figure out what the problem is? Something is wrong.... I had my surgery last Friday morning and except for a little tenderness,I am fine. This is how you should feel. What did they tell you? Did they ever do a upper Gi and use the dye ? I had one the day after surgery . I'm so very sorry , I can't imagine the stress you must be under . I am glad you wrote and have wondered about you. Please keep me updated . I care and will be praying for you .

overeating stretches it

I forgot to mention I have lost 19 pounds since starting the pre-op diet ...YEAH !

I'm doing great , I have my check up appointment tomorrow . I never had problems getting protein or fluid down. I never had to use the pain medicine or gas strips . I'm still taking some Keflex until Friday and then I'll be done. I think after tomorrow I get to add milk to my protein drink . I have been on all clear liquids this week. My guess is maybe some soup will also be allowed. I think the third week I can have soft pureed foods. So maybe I can puree some Turkey and veggies !
