I am 52 years old and thought I was about finished with hot flashes...it had been a couple of years.since they were bad....I am almost 3 months post op VSG and ive lost 42.pounds total since I began last sept pre op...31 since surgery......my question is have any of you ladies experienced a increase in hot flashes since having surgery...I do not have a uterus so I dont have the abnormal periods ive heard about...but maybe its a hormone issue?

Coloring will not hurt your hair....its coming out from the inside...your coloring whats already out....my hairloss was heaviest from 3 to 5 months out......im 6 mo now and its slowed down alot

I never vomitted...i think I would call dr

Hubba hubba lucky girl.....seriously great job congrats

Biotin causes facial hair growth...in case your using it

As you lose go to different stores and try on clothes...then when you order you will know about what works for you...good luck

Pork skins crunch and have more protein

Im 5 1/2months out....prune juice on a empty stomach first thing in the morning followed by coffee....works better for me than any meds ive tried...i drink 3 times a week or so

Ok here is my 2 cents on the topic...for ME....for over 20 years I was eating sugar free.drinks...low fat everything....etc.....so when I had the surgery those changes had been.made long ago...i think some patients lose really fast in the beginning because its at surgery they.give up sodas, fats, all those things at once...that being said....i am slower to lose but ill take it anyday...my co mids are gone...i feel great most days and I walk 3/4 days a week for half hour...dr says that is good...its doable long term....ive wondered if some of the ones ive read or seen on YT will regain when they slow up on the amount of exercise they do.....ive seen some say they do several miles everyday the weights too...just curious

Im 5 months out and I stalled for 2 months...the 3 n 4 ....i started using Myfitnesspal and now im losing again...not very fast...maybe a pound to a pound n a half per week..but ill take it...i think stalls are adjustments in our bodies...be sure to measure at least monthly and appreciate the None Scale Victories along the way.when the scale doesnt move

Alabama...near Birmingham

I have 6 tiny holes..they never looked red...everyday when I got out of the shower I put triple anti biotic ointment on them...i healed great with no scabs or bruises...i feel fortunate after seeing those

I live in the Chelsea area near birmingham...i was sleeved at Shelby Baptist in Alabaster on April 9th Let me know when and where

Ive had this problem 3 times since surgery...drinking something hot helps stimulate but what I take now...4 months out at the surgeons reccomendation is phillips pro biotics and magnesium...its working for me.....impactions are awful!

I am 4 months out...a few suggestions I would recommend are.to give up sodas if you drink them soon ....learn to love water...and maybe begin using Myfitnesspal as a way to keep up with calories...its surprising how little bit of foods adds up so fast.

Ah ha...glad to know im not the only one this happens to

Its weird how each Dr is so different...mine told me as I was being discharged to just have then the next couple of days and then try and get my.protein in foods...i dont do milk products anyway so I havent had protein shakes since 3rd day out

Love that dress Erp

4 months post op and.down 44...half way to goal

I was sleeved in april also...HW 237 SW226 CW 195...its been very slow these last 2 months but I know im to blame somewhat...i did eat some things off plan...testing the waters so to speak....trying hard now to get back on track..walk more...drink more water...started Myfitnesspal today....its a lifetime journey and we will slip up from time to time

Munch on ice.chips...it gets your water in and ice makes swollen sleeve feel better...at least it did for me
