Thanks guys!!!

I am 5.5 months out and have lost about 80 pounds. I am shedding my hair like mad and its getting noticeably thinner. I am taking Biotin supplements but I don't believe that's for regrowth. Has anyone had the same issue? Is it lack of protein or from rapid weight loss? Did you use anything that helped? Did drs recommend any supplements or anything? Help!!!

I am about 8 weeks out and on solid foods now. I have noticed when I eat, no matter what it is, my stomach feels uncomfortable like a bloated semi queasy feeling almost. Am I eating too fast? Not chewing enough? Is anyone else having this issue?

I was out for a little over 4 weeks. I do a lot of lifting and pulling and pushing and tugging as a nurse and you aren't supposed to maneuver over 20lbs so that's why I was off for so long. Do you have a sedentary job or do you walk around a lot? I had pain on the left side in the biggest incision for a couple of weeks especially when bending or twisting. Just be really careful. I still have a hard time drinking as much as i should.

Thanks!!!! Anyone else going back to work soon and dreading it. Lol.

OK so I'm a nurse and I work the night shift. Three nights a week for 12 hours each. I go back to work Monday and I'm wondering how anyone else after surgery faired when returning to night shift after surgery? How did you keep your energy up? I used to drink one diet mountain dew a night but now we obviously can't. I haven't tried coffee again yet and I know caffeine is frowned upon. Help!

Yeah that should be the case but even then the protein isn't adding up to 60 grams a day.

Take Mirilax once a day. Also drink drink drink and walk. If you still can't go contact your PCP and tell them. They can proscribe Colace or Senna. Hope that helps. Don't let it go too long.

I'm at 4 weeks post op today. I've been having a hard time getting in my 60 grams of protein. It feels impossible! My nut said not to drink it but focus on eating it more but when you can only hold 4-6 ounces its next to impossible. And those protein shakes are higher in calories then i would like. Any suggestions?

I had the three week stall last week and then all of a sudden it started back again. Sometimes if you don't drink enough water it can cause you to hold excess water weight. It will start going down again just don't let it get to you!!!
