My first night and no pain medication all night!!!! I'm sooo happy! I even woke up feeling good. My mouth is dry because I sleep on my back right now. It still feels weird to sleep on my side. Anyone have a solution? I miss my right side. I can do an angle, but not the full on right. :-).

I JUST FOUND THIS. CHECK FOR YOURSELF. THERES LOTS OF INFO ONLINE. :-) Biotin: Biotin, otherwise known as Vitamin B-7 is an essential nutrient that can be found naturally in foods such as eggs, brewer’s yeast, cauliflower and cucumber to name a few. Biotin supports carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism and it is not common to have a Biotin deficiency. Many of us consume plenty of Biotin in our diets naturally, but it has also been shown that taking higher doses of Biotin in supplement form can greatly benefit the hair, skin and nails. Biotin for Hair Growth: Biotin has been called 'hair food' and rightly so, since one of the effects seen most often is an increased rate of growth in the hair when taking biotin supplements on a daily basis. The magic number seems to hover around 5000 mcg a day, with the daily consumption being very important. Being inconsistent with taking biotin will definitely vary your results. It's also important to let your clients know that hair growth will not happen over night. You will most likely see results after about a month or so. Biotin has also been shown to increase nail and eyelash growth and can be a great treatment for people who are suffering from eczema. Does Biotin Make all Hair on the Body Grow?: The question I get most often from my clients is, "Will the rest of the hair on my body grow too?". Thankfully, no. Unlike the hair on our head, the hair on our body is only programmed to grow to a certain length. This is what thankfully allows us to avoid having to cut and style our clients arm hair. Biotin Side Effects: Anyone who is pregnant or trying to become pregnant should avoid taking Biotin or consult their doctor before doing so. Biotin has also been shown to decrease the effectiveness of some heart and anti-seizure medications. Make sure to check with your clients and see what medications they are taking before suggesting Biotin.

I wonder if Biotin will help. I'm going to do some research.

I drink hot tea every morning now. It's decaf now. I don't have a problem getting my liquids in though. Eventually I'll add caffeine back in. They just don't want us to get dehydrated. Teavana has amazing teas! Drinking coffee for me was all about the ritual. I love the smell of coffee. I'm sure you could do hot chocolate now. Hershey's unsweetened cocoa, low fat milk, and sweeten with Stevia, microwave, and voila....hot chocolate! :-) best wishes on your journey!!!

Enjoy the ride! I'm sure 50lbs. Can still be felt. I have not weighed myself since my Post Op appt last week. I only lost 2 lbs.:-(. He said to not worry. I had lost 27 in the month prior to surgery. I'm noticing my lounge pants going further and further up my waste. Lol. Celebrate your wins! You deserve to regardless of your starting weight. :-). Congratulations!!! We've taken drastic measures to get our health back regardless of our preOp weight. Best to you!!!!

I'm a single mom with a teenage son. Of course he has to eat or he gets grumpy. What I've learned having been out if surgery for a week and a half....I am not hungry. I have my own stuff and he has his. Eventually he'll be able to eat high Protein meals. The best thing you can do is make meals focused around that once he's at that stage. It's healthier for you and your kids anyway. White flour and white sugars should be banned from the grocery shelves. Lol. All in all he is make a huge life decision and he's blessed to have a wife who cares like you do. :-)

Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.

I'm doing pretty good tag past few days. 60g's and plenty of fluids. Thanks for your concern. I just wish the random pains would disappear. I'll live. :-)

Oh I'm glad you posted this! I haven't tried them post Op. My tummy is so sensitive. Plus I'm not a fan of vomiting. I feel like I'm the only one on here that isn't jumping for joy. My tummy still aches after 10 days. My doc says it's the nerves, but I'm so sick of taking the medicine they gave me. It puts me into a deep slumber. Although I do like that, but I feel like my life is slipping away.

Congratulations!!!!

Congrats! I wish I was feeling that great.

Don't weigh yourself. I made that mistake. I'm trying to only do once a week so I don't get pissed. Lol

I had a headache a few days after surgery, but thought it was just the medication working its way out of my system. Keep track of your fluids. Try for a minimum of 64 oz a day. I wish you well!

I'm a little over a week out and struggle to even get in the calories and Protein I need. Try Stevia. It's all natural and healthy. Although it does have a little after taste. You get used to it.

I hick everyone responds differently. I always have lost my hair when under extreme stress. I hope it doesn't trapped to me. I've been assured if it does that it will grow back once I'm balanced back out.

I'm in pain again. So needless to say it's made me bitchy. I also am pissed too, but just honoring my feelings. We've given up a lot and I think it's normal to be emotional.

I've been so sluggish the past 3 days. I Hope this ends. I'm trying a few. More calories to see if it helps.
