Hang in there. You are very early out....it does get easier & better each day. Work on Water, Protein, & moving more each day...and you will start feeling better. I am 11 weeks out. The first 2 weeks are hell; the next 2 weeks a little better. Just hang tough that first month...and you will start feelign more normal. Best of luck to you. Take care!

Sleeved May 15 and Regretting it
Just hang in there. It gets better with time. I felt like a new woman when I was able to eat a piece of toast & a scrambled egg (3rd week on my dr/nut guidelines)...I am 11 weeks out now and I feel more normal...it gets easier to deal with. I have avoided social situations so far because I know I am not ready to handle certain people, places, and food challenges. Avoid the negative as best you can & embrace the positive. Best of luck to you. Take care.

Shopping at the mall today...passed by all my favorite food places...but
Good for you. I haven't been to the mall once since surgery (I am 11 weeks out) because of pretzel bites and macadamia nut Cookies...I don't think I have the control yet. Good job! Congrats on a size 4 - that's tiny! I want to be a 14!
-
are these sounds normal?
Yep, I am 11 weeks out...I still have some burps, strange noises when I eat or drink...and especially so, if I forget and eat/drink too quickly or eat/drink at the same time. It is your new normal... Best of luck to you!

Weekly Weigh in...125 pounds in 7 months
Congrats!!!

Gained 3 lbs
Please don't get discouraged. Pick ONE day a week to weigh ...weigh the same day, same time, and wear the same clothes. Don't get on the scale every day...you give Mr. Scale too much power when you do that! You can weigh differently every hour. I am 11 weeks out...I have gained 1 lb on two different occasions....the following week each time I had a big drop. I didn't do anything differently the weeks I gained. I think it is just a body thing whether a person has had surgery or not, you can weigh differently at different times of the same day. I think it is even more of a body thing with wls people - our bodies are adjusting. Best of luck to you. Take care!

Regrets
I regret it. I have gone into detail on several threads dealing with regret such as "Would You Have Weight Loss Surgery Again?" If you want to know any specifics, please private message me & I'd be happy to talk with you about it. I haven't had any complications, so please don't think it is anything like that; I've been lucky, it isn't. In a nutshell, I miss the old me, my old life, unhealthy or not. I don't feel like me at all now. I am not me & it isn't a good feeling. Please make sure wls is for you. There's no going back. Best of luck to you. Do what is best for you.

I'm losing my hair!
It happens to most & at varying degrees, according to my dr & nut. Protein is crucial - and I struggle with it. I am taking 10000 Biotin and even prenatal Vitamins. I started using Biotin/Collagen shampoo & conditioner (purple bottle Organix - Walmart). I started styling my hair less and using little to no products on my hair. My hair is all I got...and I dread this more than anything. The good thing? I've yet to read one post from anyone on this site & another site from anyone who claims it didn't grow back...everybody says it will grow back...just may be a different texture or even color. Best of luck to all of us with this!
