Awesome!

How about gummy vitamins? I was told by my support group that their surgeon recommended Omega 3 along with biotin vitamins to helps with the hair loss. The omega 3 comes in big capsules and gummy form.

I go back on Monday , 11/4 as well. I know it will be challenging as I have stressful job and often emergencies occur and my set schedule is interrupted.

A family meeting sounds like a good idea. If that does not work just take care of you and your little one.

I changed doctor's also because I was not happy with her responses on my health and WLS. My second dr did not agree with weight loss surgery for me at first, but after a few years and my dr becoming one of the bariatric board members she started supporting me. I was suggested to lose 10 percent of my weight, but I did not lose the whole 10 percent.

One hour

I like all the compliments and I do not personalize it if people who are not close to me might not say it exactly as someone who I have a relationship with. I do not allow others to step on my joy as I have made changes in my health because of my weight loss. If others think I look better then before so be it, I know I look better than before. I look like the person I was before I let food control my life and destroy my health!

I had pain on the right side after surgery, it go less as the days went by. It flared up again after three weeks and I started taking liquid tyenol for the pain. Dr said it was the internal stitch that he gave me. I hope you start feeling better soon!

Hooray!

Happy Birthday to you and your son! Enjoy your special day.

I noticed the weight loss about 3 weeks out my face and lower legs appeared slimmer. I will be six weeks out tomorrow my butt is getting flatter, shoe size is a 1/2 smaller and I cannot wear my wedding rings, which I have had re sized twice before, my bra size is also smaller. My highest weight as an adult was 240 pounds. However when I started this journey towards the sleeve I was 207. I went to a party yesterday with my colleagues and everyone noticed. The highest weight they ever seen me was 225.

Looking Good!

Whatever your age after surgery you have to be committed to exercising and changing your relationship with food! Good luck with your decision.

I measure and log what I eat on myfitnesspal it is very helpful. I get my protein in everyday, however I do get hungry. But it does not bother me to feel hungry as it is not as intense pre surgery.

50 pounds is a great accomplishment!

I was 15 pounds heavier after surgery and it took almost two weeks before I was close to my surgery date weight.

Awesome!

Yes, the first week was hard. I had to stay in the hospital an extra day because I did not get enough liquids in.

I am sorry for your loss (miscarriage).

You look awesome!

I had a similar incident about 3 weeks out trying to get out of my car. I felt something pull and I was in pain for days. My dr said it the internal stitch that he did. I started taking liquid Tylenol. Contact your dr!

I only had one day of pre op liquid, therefore post op was worse for me.

Congratulations on maintaining your weight loss! Thank you so much for sharing your experience this far out post surgery, you are very inspirational for me.

I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Awesome!
