    Too much Hair Loss?

    My nutritionist said I need more protein, But how much can I possibly eat? I had the lab band in 2009 and didnt have this much hair loss. Since the sleeve almost 4 mos ago its been non stop as of last month.

    November 2012 sleevers how are you doing ?

    My surgery was November 28 down 31lbs. I feel good so far except for days where I feel really weak and always feel like I am starving. Other than that, I am happy with my progress.

    Hunger

    I too have had this and I am 5 weeks out. Drinking fluid helps but it seems like it comes back within the hour. I always feel like I am hungry, instead of eating food I will tr an ice pop or a sugar free fudge pop.
  5. Sannah, I know exactly how you feel, i was sleeved Nov 28 and I have a 14mo old and felt so helpless! All he wanted was for me to do everything with him, I felt so guilty. But now my Dr. cleared me and I can pick him up, cuddle and play with him. It's all worth it. So far i have lost 25lbs since my surgery. Good luck!!!

    wine at 6 weeks anyone?

    At my 1 month Check up, my Doc said I was cleared to have a glass of wine when I wanted. So I guess it depends on your surgeon.
  8. I had my sleeve done 11/28 and have always been a picky eater, so far I have lost since the surgery date 18lbs. I am on pureed foods and feel like I am at a loss as to what to eat on a daily basis. I don't eat oatmeal, I just started to eat fish, PLEASE HELP!!!! ALL and ANY ADVICE IS MUCH NEEDED!!!! I do not want to fail!! Thank you in advance :-)

    wine at 6 weeks anyone?

    GIGi3 I was cracking up on your we fatties line....I too miss my glass of wine every now and then. I am only 2 weeks out, my surgeon allows 1 glass every so often. I would advise you double check with your surgeon. I wouldn't abuse the every so often, don't forget the stomach lining is not as thick as before. Also if your still taking the antacids be careful!!

    I feel like I am going to fail!

    Is it? I have had soups and vegetables have been so soft they are mush when I eat it. I have had mashed potatoes, beans and Eggs. I don't know what else to eat? I am getting bored with the food. Thursday I start soft foods, so maybe it will get better. I will start in the morning at one wait then by the time bedtime comes it goes up by 1lb. I do 3 protein shakes a day too and lots of fluids. Is this normal?
  17. I had my surgery on 11/28 and came home 12/1. I am unable to pick up my lil one who is only 13months and its breaking my heart. Is anyone else going thru the same thing? I was originally banded in 2009 and went from band to sleeve and feeling great, except for my baby.

    New Sleevers With Little Ones?

    Sarah, I was told no lifting more than 5lbs for 6wks because the stomach can split open.

    I have to agree, I do not want to end up in the ER or away from home at all.

    Headaches

    The Dr said after effects from anesthesia, also, if you didn't cut out caffeine before surgery it can be caffeine withdrawals. Hope all works well, you can take tylenol liquid or crush it in water.
