Took mine 4 1/2 week for the swelling to go down and the pain to go away .

The book says 40% of people on average experience hair loss . It's the luck of the draw as to who those people are!

I keep sugar free chocolate frosting in refrig and if I need a fix I get a little spoonful !

Unjury may say unflavored but trust me it is , and it's called nasty puke gag! They gave me samples to use during hospital stay. Stupid me orders two containers before surgery and now I'm stuck with them . Haven't even oped them . I did like there chic soup and choc protein .

My Dr today told me to do something different that my body wasn't use to, such as adding weight lifting , run, or squats etc.. If I'm watching tv to do some leg lifts. This is to get your body our of a routine .

Chunky ??? I drink premiere every day never had a chunky one . U can thin it with 2% milk . I add strawberry , caramel or coconut flavoring to the vanilla ones . I love the chocolate but the vanilla is really sweet for my taste.

I'm gonna try this recipe of using sliced zucchini as the crust and u top it off with sauce and tiny pepperoni low fat cheese and sauce. I saw it on pinterest Under healthy recipes .

Try using a spaghetti squash as noodles .

Your in the 3 week stall !

Before surgery I had days where I was more hungry then others. I'm 9 weeks post sleeve today I'm not hungry at all. But other days i have been hungry . If I'm still hungry I just eat a little more protein.

Does anyone know if these staples ever need to be mentioned ? ( airport security or MRI ). And what about using a tanning bed, how long should we wait before using one?

I took some sugar free hawaiian punch packs and a vitamin water . Those were the only fluids I could drink those first couple of days . I don't like coffee and they didn't offer tea.

I have never been a sweater! My friend even makes fun of me when we exercise she has sweat pouring off of her but not me . So everyone is different. I did once break out into a sweat when I sit across from this good looking guy lol.

Are You taking your PPI , u may need something else to control your stomach acid?

I'm six weeks post also. I had 2.5 weeks of the weight loss stall . Didn't do anything different. Now I have loss 2-3 pounds per week . I knew the stall was coming so I didn't let it get to me . Only weight 2x week at most . But the possible hair loss thing in the next few months is stressing me out .

Which toppik hair product are you using?

Correction it's on the drs show

Dr oz going to talk about stimulating thinning hair today!

This has been my greatest concern . I was sleeved in April . I wish someone would do more study on hair loss with gastric surgery and come up with preventive treatment . But until then I just purchased a set of clip on hair extensions . I secretly wore them to church and nobody noticed I had fake hair ! Lol

I'm no expert but if your body is used to 30 min of exercise I would do a little more . Mix things up. If you are just walking then try to jog for 1 minute a few times . Make it last for 45 minutes or longer . Just a thought

SAMs club chocolate premiere shakes are good and not too sweet . 30 gr of protein . Vanilla is also good but it's sweet. I add strawberry or coconut flavoring to it .

Y'all look beautiful ! Makes my day to see these photos . Gonna post mine one day !

I'm only losing 1 maybe 2 pounds a week ! Getting on average 60 gr of protein per day. Seems like I'm just eating meat, eggs , and a protein shake . No bread. It just seems like I would be losing more!

My dr said to walk right after surgery and at 5 weeks I could start light jogging . I have never jogged so I downloaded the couch to 5 k app to help me .

It mine 4 weeks to stop hurting
