I agree, totally hot...I hope I look that good!

I am also a hair stylist and have noticed that after my surgery my hair felt more dry and fragile. I still color my hair (darker) every 8 weeks or so and it happens to make it feel better. Of course any highlighting or lightening your hair can be damaging even prior to surgery so you need to be careful what products and who does it.
As far as your color not taking...med's can cause that, so I ask clients if there on medications and if so I wash the hair with dish soap before the service (coloring,perming) leaving it on for a few minutes and it helps strip the med's out of the hair!
I've also noticed that even when I get all my protien, liquids and Vitamins I still am losing my hair....a lot! My hair is way past the middle of my back and has always been nice and thick but now it's a definite notice that its thinning. I have to clean my brush out after each use because its filled. I pray it slows down soon but it's pretty much inevitable! Good luck with everything!

Hey y'all fellow February sleevers.....I was sleeved 2/26/13 and as of today I'm down 72lbs
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay love my new sleeve!

It will get better, trust me I questioned myself...like why the hell did I do this to myself in the first month or two...dealing with nausea, headaches and serious fatigue, but before I knew it I was able to eat more foods that tastes good and wasn't so tired. You will get there...a year from now you'll be so glad u made this choice

I'm only three months out and there have been a few occasions where I gained 1-2 lbs and then a week later lost 5-7lbs. A pound is something as small as you need to go to the bathroom. You might need to up your calories too, if you get less than 700 -900 in a day you won't lose either. So god luck and don't get discouraged!

Completely normal, It's like esophagus spasms.
My dr gave me a med that would help. But even now at three months out I have horrible chest pains if I drink to fast or too much. You will learn your body/sleeve but it might take awhile. Good Luck and congrats on your new journey!

I know how you feel, I was sleeved 2/26/13 and at first because if the gas n pain, eating/sipping on Soups and protien shakes made me ill. But just hang in there girl, you will be able to eat things that "taste" good again. I can now eat almost everything but only 3-5 bites and I'm done. I have lost 50lbs and am loving the changes I see in myself! You will soon appreciate your new sleeve, just hang in there!

Wow that is truly awesome and amazing! You look great!

Your story is truly amazing, thanks for sharing

Hello, I had my surgery on 2/26 so I'm 8 weeks out as of yesterday. I had my surgery at St.Mary's hospital in Grand Rapids MI and Dr.Foote is my surgeon. He's a amazing dr....very caring, awesome bedside manner and just a great surgeon!
I haven't been losing weight super fast like some others but I didn't have a very high bmi. Since surgery day I've lost 45 lbs....I can't wait to get to my goal!

I was a smoker and stopped two weeks before hand....I didn't even want to smoke afterward but now that I'm three months out I'm struggling with wanting to start again, especially when I'm around other people that smoke! Good luck on quitting!
