I lost allot of hair over 2-3 months. It stopped and is now coming in.

I have never had any bad symptoms from eating. I actually went through a period where I questioned whether or not they did the surgery at all. Just chew well, eat slowly and listen to your body. You will be great!

I am struggling also, I am almost 8 months and have 15 lbs. what has been working for me though is logging every bite, not eating after dinner and exercising 6 days a week. Make sure you get your fluids.

Congratulations, it is only the beginning!

It WILL get better each day, next thing you know you'll be down, 20, 50 , 100 lbs and you will be so glad you did it!

I have lost 96, I have 15 to go. I won't be getting plastic surgery.

Congratulations! you look amazing!

I drink full caffeine coffee!

Just be careful with liquid calories. They won't fill you up, so it's really just a waste. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories per cup) and I use about 1/2 cup for a 16 oz cup of coffee. Good luck!

The App Store has quite a few new ones that actually track water, vitamins, medication etc. I use my fitness pal, but I am not tracking water etc. it just has the most extensive database of food, I don't pay that much attention to the calories as the nutrition and volume

Enjoy this phase! It is really remarkable!

My husband did not take off except for the day of surgery and two days after when I came home from the hospital.

That is great! Congratulations!!

I weigh two times per week using my own scale, I weigh the exact time of day, wearing the exact same thing.

I would track it as weight lost.

I am 45 and have lost 94 of my 111 lb goal. I have extra skin on my arms that I am not happy about, but I am going to build some muscle and consider surgery later. My stomach isn't that bad, I have had 4 children, so my expectations weren't that high in that area.

I was never told to stay away from coffee. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories per cup). I haven even discussed this with my surgeon and he said it was fine!

That is great, so I wanted to look at mine and despite 94 of 111 lbs lost, I am still "overweight" by 3 lbs. I was a little disappointed, but it put me back on track mentally!

Congratulations! That is great news, about your blood pressure. It does get better, each day!

Congratulations!!

My fitness pal calorie ranges are not for gastric bypass patients, they are for the average dieter. Please enjoy this part of your journey, when you don't need a lot of calories to fill you up. This is where the greatest weight loss happens!

I think statistically the overall weight loss you can expect with gastric by-pass is much higher than that of sleeve patients. Keep moving and drinking water, it will come!

I have never heard of not being able to eat bread or pasta. I would think wonton wrappers would fall in this category.

I was approved also within a couple of weeks of surgery. Just listen to your body, start slow. Good luck

I bought all kinds of crap, pjs, bathrobe, slippers, books, magazines etc. didn't use a thing except for my bathrobe, when I went hall walking. Total waste of money.
