    Natural hair and vsg

    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.

    What I miss most

    I ate them around 6 to 8 weeks out.

    How old are/were you?

    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!

    Post Op - Pedi?

    She might have been told to hold off if she was on blood thinners.
  6. 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.

    Passing G@S !

    I am 5 months out today. I still battle with the gas.
  8. 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.

    Moodiness

    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.

    Sushi?

    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.

    POST-OP chime in

    Treat yourself to Wonton soup, hold the Wonton
  13. 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?

    Trouble swallowing pills?

    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.

    Stomach sleepers...

    One week out I was comfortable on my side and by 2 1/2 weeks out I was on my stomach.
