Been a rough week or two or three
So sorry you're going through a rough time, Jane. Life happens and we can't be on point all the time. Don't be hard on yourself. You got this! Again, so sorry for your loss.

Ladies: How many of you pre-surgery got the "Are you pregnant" question?
I never ask even when someone is obviously pregnant. Goodness, it's probably just as embarrassing for the asker!!! I've never been asked that not even when I was. I'm fat all over. No area is fatter than the next! Haha.

Why am I scared?

How are you all getting your vitamins in?
I only take a multivitamin. I got my blood work done and everything is perfect. I'm thinking you don't need all that!

Serious question seeks serious answer!
I have to agree with the sex aspect. My husband is 160 pounds and 6 feet tall.

I still have a sweet tooth!
Also I'm 6 months out down 76 pounds. I eat chocolate once a week. Don't look at it as cheating, just living normally!

Drinking amounts
Drinking too much used to cause a horrible pain in my chest. Now I'm 6 months out and can drink like I did before surgery.

Fried rice and curry. Big mistake
Fried anything makes me sick. Rice sits very heavy in the sleeve. I would avoid it for now. I'm six months out now and can only eat a couple of spoonfuls of rice. Also if it was a creamy cyrry that's also very heavy, but I think Chinese curry is liquidy, right?

Hope for Hair
I had hair loss at about 3 months but I think eating lots of protein, taking vitamins, and nioxin has helped it grow at the same rate it's falling out. Now I'm 6 months out and my shedding is normal. I have a client who had the lapband and her thick hair got really thin. It took about a year but its thick as ever now.
-
10 weeks, can eat more?
I think hormones cause the sleeve to relax. I'm not sure but it makes sense to me haha!

A day in my world...
Wow!!!! That is really harsh. Before surgery, I worked out everyday with minimal weight loss. I've lost 50 pounds 3 times only to gain it back. I have 2 small children, work, going to school to be a nurse, and take care of our home. I think its safe to say I'm far from lazy or pathetic! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this but please don't believe that crap! I thought about you today. Wondering a) where have you been? And have you set a date yet?
