    My son who is home on leave for 2 weeks from the army is spending time with us. I know these 2 weeks we will be doing a lot of going out to eat with friends and family. So losing weight during this time is going to be a challenge. I will enjoy the next 2 weeks with him eat moderately make wise decisions. On the good note I had a pcp appt on tues and was taken off my HB pressure meds. I'm down 70lbs since Feb 2014. Have a great day!
  2. I'm 4 months, and just this morning was shedding my hair after I washed it. Does anyone know how long losing hair last?
  3. I do, I helped with my dry mouth in the beginning. It will be 4 months on the 18th.
  4. I love Jay Robb strawberry and add a tbls of sugar free strawberry torani syrup, I get it through amazon. It taste like nestle quick strawberry, I use unsweetened almond milk. Good luck!
  5. I'm a little over 3 months hadn't any hair loss yet sleeved 2/18/14 .
  6. I had mine pre surgery, I was sleeved Feb 18th 2014 had it in March, then nothing in April and May. I thought I might be menopausal, but no symptoms like hot flashes etc. It's probably all hormones.
  7. So envious! Amazing pics!
  8. Yes few ppl have told me. I roughly lost 48lbs, since Feb. sometimes I gain a pound. It's a struggle. Good luck.
  9. I'm totally off, was sleeved 2/18/14 had in March, nothing in April going on into May nothing yet. I'm older so I thought menopause, but no hot flashes yet. So I think hormones are messed up.
  10. I like Ray Jobb strawberry, I got it on amazon. Unjury unflavored is ok if you mix it with something, this morning I mixed it with strawberry flavoring. My fav is still Ray Jobb strawberry!
  11. Jay Robb strawberry, I couldn't stand some of them. You can get it on amazon.
  12. I like Jay Robb strawberry from amazon, used unsweetened almond milk. It's pretty good.
  13. I had 2 small pieces of angel food cake I made. 1 at lunch and dinner. I made it with lite cool whip and strawberries. It's been Feb since sleeved and we need to treat ourselves once in a while. I didn't over eat on Easter. Don't beat yourself up.
  14. I just bought from amazon protein shake by Jay Robb, they are a little pricey but are very good. I got the strawberry and mixed it with unsweetened almond silk. I also have purchase a few different kinds and hated them. I also bought torani sugar free syrup peach and add it to unflavored protein mix or vanilla protein. I'm no expert it's all trial and see what works for me. Sleeved 2/18/14. Good luck. ????
  15. I'm the same way, was sleeved 2/18/14 lost about 32. I have no energy, so today I made an appointment to see a trainer, and get on a exercise program. I really never had any issues with food or feeling nauseous. I do have arthritis in my ankle so walking is painful. I never liked exercising I do enjoy biking. Hopefully the trainer will work with me on light weights and low impact workouts. I don't have any motivation I hope to change that!
  16. Feel the same, weight has dropped but not so much in clothing size. They do feel more loose which is good. At least I don't have to buy a lot if clothes at this point, i'll wear what I have for now.
  17. 30/60 rule for me, but occasionally take a sip of water. But generally I follow the rule.
  18. Never heard of dirty mouth, I had really bad dry mouth. Maybe try chewing sugar free gum or mints. There's biotein and spray maybe that will help. I did sugar free ice pops. Good luck.
  19. I dreamt I drank a coke and realize that was a big no no!
  20. Any suggestions for a good breakfast cereal. I was sleeved 2/18/14 and want a new option besides oatmeal and eggs. I just had my drs appt 3/27/14 and lost a total of 32lbs. Anybody use carnation instant breakfast. I do have unflavored protein mix. I appreciate any suggestions, thx!
  21. I have been having really bad dry mouth, I drink water, other fluids, rinse with biotein, I even ask dentist he was no help. I have water with me at bed and I wake up several times a night with dry mouth. Last night I put a humidifier next to my bed. I had the sleeve procedure 2/18/14. Other than dry mouth I'm doing great. My 6 wk check up with WL surgeon is 3/27 hope he might have some answer! Thx! Any advise would be appreciated!
  22. That's awesome, my surgery was on 2/18/14, still haven't ventured to a restaurant! Good luck
