Hi All, I am 18 weeks post op from GB. I have lost 57 lbs and am at 197, my goal weight is 150, so 47 more lbs to go. I struggle with LOTS of things. I wanted to join this forum bc I am not in a support group as of yet and need to know if some of my issues are normal or just me ?!? 1. Protein drinks - I can not drink any of them ... They make me sick to my stomach or gag. 2. Exhaustion and major hair loss - I'm sure related to not enough protein, but need new ideas. 3. NO dumping - so I can still have sweet and junk food ... I am a comfort/bored eater ... I seem to be grazing !!! Very Upsetting. 4. Not getting exercise - I work 12 hours a day from home with toddlers, I do not get away. By the evening I don't want to go workout, why can't I get motivated ?!? 5. Buying too much food - my pantries, freezer, fridge are packed to the hilt with food ... I can't seem to control myself but I feel the urge to make sure there is always food in the house, like I'm scared we are gonna run out. I can't even eat 75% of it !! I guess thats all I will mention today, I'm sure there is more ) if you have or have had any of these issues I would love to chat ) Thanks Everyone, Keiria
