How long did you wait after surgery to drink protein shakes? I know All Drs are different but mine wants me on clear fluids for a week .

I'm 2 yrs out lost 85 pounds with surgery . I can eat anything and everything . But I have gained some weight back so now it's back to eating mainly protein . I eat pizza with thin crust because bread fills me up fast

I was too . I used topex fiber spray on some thin spots . I didn't like the shampoo it tangled my hair . It will happen I wear hair extensions mine are clips but I wish I had gotten the ones on a string . They where pricy but I wear them everyday. I researched it heavy and didn't find anyway to prevent it .

You will have several stalls it happens . Just keep doing what you are told and it will start back .

Most people lose 80% of there weight with surgery myself included I now have to exercise and work on losing it . I lost 2 pounds a week faithfully with the exception on a few stalls then it just stopped . I wish I would have exercised from the beginning but I didn't so today was day one of exercising lol

Doesn't weed smoking cause you to be hungry ?? I wouldn't smoke it for that reason alone

I have experienced dizziness several times after surgery ( 2yrs) . If I think about it I try to stretch my toes to circulate the blood flow before I stand up. My blood work and BP has been normal and the dr doesn't seem to think its anything to worry about .

I gained 19 pounds this past year also but as of today I'm back logging into my fitness pal and weighing on Fridays I'm gonna get this back off. I found an old picture of me and I never want to look like that again !! Lost 91 pounds the first year ! I'm hoping to lose 40 this year .

Sounds like we are all out of the honeymoon stage . The scale has stopped moving . I walked so much this week on vacation and just new I had lost weight . But I didn't . I would like to lose 20 more pounds this year and regrow some hair haha I lost 101 pounds this past year

I'm so excited tomorrow I'm getting on a plane after losing 100 pounds. I can't wait to see how much room I will have . Also, I won't have that embarrassing feeling that I'm taking up someone else's part of the seat .

Hair loss is a side effect of Anesthesia. When it starts depends on your hair growth cycle . I think the cycle is 90 days . If you google it you will understand it better. I have a thin spot on the top of my head and I use toppik fiber spray to hide it . I don't like there other products. I got hair extensions but with thin hair you can Se the clips so I don't wear them. I'm a year out and the hair loss has slowed way down .

I'm a year out , lost 100 pounds ! Had many stalls .I averaged 2 lbs week then it just stopped. Now I have to exercise to lose it.

Are antihistamines okay to take ?

I had a sharp stinging pain on the side the stomach was taken out. Each day the pain was a little bit less then the previous day. The more I walked the better I felt . I took gas strips a couple times a day. Slept in a recliner for a week using multiple pillows a heating pad. Your first two weeks will be focused on sipping fluids and walking

I ate and still eat hamburger patty cooked on George Forman grill.
