  4. I have had natural hair for over 10 years. I experienced moderate loss and increased breakage. I am a year out and although my hair had thinned out it is coming back in nicely. I recommend finding a good moisturizer.

  7. I ate them around 6 to 8 weeks out.
  8. I was 32 when sleeved. I personally would not have had this surgery at 22, because I don't feel that I was responsible enough to maintain compliance. To be honest it has been one hell of a battle to stay on track. In all it is ABSOLUTELY worth it, and if you know you are ready...GO FOR IT!

  15. She might have been told to hold off if she was on blood thinners.
  16. If I order anything it is a small cup of soup. I have 2 small boys, and if I absolutely need a bite of something they generally will share with me. I ordered food once or twice, and found that I still am highly likely to overeat when a massive plate of food is put in front of me, so I pass.

  18. I am 5 months out today. I still battle with the gas.
  19. CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's really great to hear stories of success while on this journey. I really thought I was ready for this, but I am tested emotionally/psychologically daily. This is harder than I ever imagined, but if I had to do it again I would.
  20. Monday - A.M. 30 minutes cardio 30 minutes weights P.M. Zumba 1 hour Tuesday - Zumba Wedneday - Rest Thursday - Zumba Friday - 30 minutes cardio 30 minutes weights Saturday- Zumba Sunday - Rest
  21. I am 4 months out and asked the doctor for something to help stabilize my mood, b/c I know it isn't fair to my family how up and down my mood is. This is when I started my relationship with Prozac...I love it.
  22. I LOVED sushi pre sleeve, but have only managed to get 2 bites down since the . I still go out with friends for sushi but settle on a small bowl of miso Soup and edamame.
  23. Treat yourself to Wonton soup, hold the Wonton

  25. I recently upped my exercise to 40 minutes on the elliptical 5 times per week, followed by 20 minutes of light weights, as well as walking 30 minutes of brisk walking throughout the day while at work. The problem is I am so exhausted that I fall asleep at my desk. I upped my intake to about 1000 calories per day and my weight teeter totters btwn 2 lbs. I feel like I am going nowhere fast. What are some of your exercise regimens and what does you r intake look like?
  26. I'm 2 months out and don't swallow any pill whole. I crushed my bp meds until I was 4 weeks out, and now I break it up in 1/4. I also open capsules.
  27. One week out I was comfortable on my side and by 2 1/2 weeks out I was on my stomach.
