Where can you get it from, I'm almost 5 months out and my hair is falling out
Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I'm trying to get into the routine of drinking an Edge drink every morning. They have 17 grams of protein. I know it's not enough But at least it's a start. I take Biotin too, and all my Vitamins. I will be 5 months post op on the 30th. Do you think this hairless will let up soon?

What can I do about Hair loss? ????

Weight day is every monday

I really can't believe I'm sharing this pic!!! I took this 5/1/12... 262 lbs Starting day of pre op liquid diet. (recent highest 278 lbs Jan 2012- Journey starting date). Today 170! Picture taken 2 weeks ago 9/10/12...
Size 24 jeans to a 6 and 4x shirt to a large. Hope this works!

It's best to give it a couple of whirls in a blender so you avoid the food getting stuck. Good luck!

It's great when the food stages move along! blenders work wonders for the pureed stage!

I puree everything: tuna with light mayo; baked fillet fish with fat free tartar sauce; chicken with broth and steamed veggie.

Think I need therapy to believe this.. Sorry for the vast grossness!

Baba ganashe and hummus...chicken and egg salad puréed with fat free mayo or a friend recommended cottage cheese, no pickles or celery. Puréed scrambled eggs

So proud of you for not touching that soda

Ummm in dealing with a therapist who specializes in self image and weight issues pre and post op...she has taught me a few things. For me things were black and white....I was on a diet...I was all in and if I did something off plan, I considered it a full fail. She taught me that life isn't black and white...there is some grey in there and I need to cut myself some slack. Basically if I was on a diet and had one piece of chocolate to not mock, or ridicule myself for it and to stop beating myself up. Learn from it, it was actually in moderation so I did no wrong and move on.
taking a little nerd or touch of frosting isn't the end of a good run on eating right...just think of prior to eating right what you would have done and be proud of yourself for ONLY taking such a small amount!

Not the same thing, but where I have the blood thinner shots I'm a purple mess! I also pulled something (nurse said maybe stitches) giving my son a little swat. She didn't seem worried at all but I'm thinking, if the stitches aren't where they're supposed to be, are the things going to heal the way they're supposed to? It still hurts, but it's better today than yesterday. I should mention today is my two week post op mark. This week I only lost one pound but last week I lost ten. I lost ten before surgery so my total is 21 down.

Good news! I guess we can have the lemonade at Starbucks. I always assumed it was synonymous with like minutemaid (aka 50% sugar) so I've avoided it since surgery because I couldn't get concrete nutrition facts - but after trying a sip I realized it's basically straight lemon juice, so i've been sipping on an arnold palmer (black tea & lemonade) all day and I'm in heaven. Passion tea & lemonade was my favorite pre surgery and I'm so excited

Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I just feel like, we know that, but other people don't...plus it's none of their business.

Thanks. The cough is pretty much gone so I feel a lot better. I'm waiting to go home:). Just gotta 'go' before they'll let me leave
