It's falling out rapidly... So much that I simply dread washing or brushing my hair. I'm so sad!!!! Any suggestions!!! I have been taking Biotin daily since surgery

I love the Skinny Mocha. It's skim milk, sugar free mocha Syrup, and espresso. I get it Vente with two Splenda. The Skinny vanilla or Carmel latte's are good too.

This is normal and we all have been there. Your body is healing and u can't get lots in. So of course your hungry, remember its not magic. Our brain needs time to adjust to changes. I promise it will get better!! This is normal! I was starving and had lots of regrets. My nut felt so bad for me she told me to start stage 2, 3days early. I love my sleeve now an you will too! As you heal you will be able to put more dwn. and the hunger will go away but it takes time.
Do what the dr. Says!!
Height 5"4
Preop- 235
DOS oct 8th - 225
Today 185
I average about 10 lbs a month
I don't have lots to loose So my weight loss is slow than most. But I'm totally fine with it, Cause I'm small

I'm just so happy to get rid of all my 16 clothes!!! I have tons of pants some worth keeping and some k. If ur a tall 16 and need work clothes contact me and I'll ship for free. If anyone need a size 16 formal dress I have 4 dress.
Yay!!! Good bye size 16

I thought seriously about getting a ninja. I watched a bunch of YouTube reviews on the ninja, vitamix and blendtec. I saw some reviews that said the ninja was just as good, and some said it didn't quite blend the food as much....like 96% blended vs 100%. I wasn't sure. But I decided to take the big plunge this time and reward myself with a vitamix. If money was tight right now, I wouldn't have hesitated to get the ninja instead. Either way, it's a good way to get in some nutrients that the typical sleeve diet doesn't really leave room for.

Thank you!!!! It's so good to know I'm not alone! I guess I'll be healed by Christmas, that's something to look forward too. I just need to hold on. This is harder than when I quit smoking though.

I'm 1 month too!!! Congrats, so awesome!!!

omelets are a good suggestion, you can put any cheese or veggies you like in them. you can change up the chicken by splitting a breast and stuffing it with ham, cheese and spinach, make stir fry with light sauce and don't eat rice with it. I also like boca burgers. and if you want sausage on the side of an omelet, I happen to love the Morningstar brand meatless sausage (and I'm not a vegetarian, these just have wayyy less fat and 10g Protein per patty and taste really good).
As far as free exercising: if weather permits, take a long walk! Take the family with, or the dog, or the ipod... whatever you like. Go to a local park with a trail if you have one, or just start by walking around your block. If you're not used to exercising, start by walking to the corner. Just increase your distance slightly every day. At home, you can do squats (as far down as you can go, it will get easier with practice). You can get weights for a couple bucks a piece at Walmart, get some 3lbs and start doing curls and lifting above your arms. Do any of these you can: crunches, leg lifts (lie on your side with legs straight and lift the top one as high as you can, do 3 reps of 10 then switch sides), push ups (start against the wall if you need to, or a table or chair), and jumping jacks.
With anything, start small and work your way up. You can also get excellent work out plans on youtube!
Good luck!

Thats awesome! !! J cant wait! My starting weight was 222. And im a little under 200. Had the surgery on October8th. Do u just eat regular but just very small amounts? I have a problem of snacking.

I'm on day 8 of the liquid diet. Surgery is Oct. 8! I wish my family was more supportive. They eat around me all the time and it's SO hard, but I'm sticking to the liquid diet.
