  1. I bought hair extensions 100.00 at Sally beauty supply they clip in and out and look great. My hair was do thin. U could see my scalp and they helped me sooo much.
  2. 3 weeks post op tomorrow. Still on liquids only and I am so hangry that I have to just leave the room close my door and pray for sleep until everyone is finished eating. I hope tomorrow my dr puts me on some food, and absolutely nothing sweet. Yesterday I had a slice of avocado smooshed up and it totally satisfied me. Hangry best word ever
  3. Can you have tuna already?
  4. almost 3weeks post op and still on straight liquids. 3 protein shakes a day and water. I added Miso soup last week so 1/3 c of that as well....maybe I will get something to add at my 3 week appt on Monday
  5. Get a second opinion ASAP.
  6. Mine itched like crazy!!!!! Got my staples out and my dr used steri strips but one came loose and started bleeding so I just cleaned around the incision and put another steri strip on it and all was fine but it did bleed a lot.
  7. Sleeved 5/28, and I have been just walking, using stairs parking at back of parking lot so I walk further. What im wondering is when we can start exercising and how much, should I be doing more now? I see my dr on Monday but just wanted to ask.
  8. My doctor prescribed me a melt in your mouth nausea med as well as a pill, which i have to open and put in applesauce, for heart burn and to help ward off any ulcers that may be lurking... feel better 5/28 sleeved
  9. Comfy jammies for sure. I was so happy to get out of the hospital gown it was so hot and you will feel better when you are up and walking around. Good luck I was sleeved on 5/28 and love it
  10. I'm still on water and protein shakes only. I see my Dr next Monday and I think I will get to add some thing else to my diet. I did the pre-op diet one day (day before surgery) of water and tea only. Nice to met everyone :0)
  11. I am from N.E New Jersey, Dr. Kwon was my surgeon, sleeved 5/28 down -18.
  12. What about tofu it is high in protein.
  13. I was sleeved on 5/28 and I am getting all my fluids 3 protein shakes and my water. I am however very sore, tired and weak feeling. My band had to be bigger ( I can hold 3 oz instead of 2) due to scar tissue from my band remove 2 years ago. Nausea? My dr gave me zig ran tablets that melt in your tongue.
  14. Is this normal my tummy is still sore espically on my right side. I don't notice it as much until I go to stand up or roll over. Not sure if I'm just looking for problems due to major complications with the band, so just checking to see if I'm being a baby or if it is normal. Thanks
  15. What about egg drop soup?
  16. Where do I find unflavored protein?
  17. I think it works I started taking it 3 mos per surgery and my hair grew and was much thicker. I expect some hair loss but hopefully the extra I grew will even it all out.
  18. Ok it is not high in protein but also not high in sodium , fat or carbs. Let me know what u think
  19. I wore Levi capris 6 days post op. little uncomfortable but not bad.
  20. Not sure how to post. I am starving 4 days post op and I am hungry. Water and tea only. I'm crying with you.
