Anyone Develope Dry Skin After Sleeve?
ccausley replied to DisappearingDivis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Dr. told me to use Coconut Oil also because I was drying out on my back where the bra rubs and it hurt. I found that you can also buy it at a real good price at a TJ Maxx or Marshalls in the cooking section. It works really well. -

How are you doing with hair loss? I was sleeved on Dec 29 my weight loss is close to yours. Struggling with the Protein also. But the hair loss is scaring me...I have been taking Biotin every day.. Found some great tasting chewables on Amazon...But I almost hate to shower and wash my hair it scares me so much every time! Anyone else fighting this... -

Heading back to ER again, prayers please
ccausley replied to nprcowboy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Al, I have not been able to hold down protein shakes since my surgery on Dec 29th, I drink mostly Power-aide it has B-3 B-6 & B12. I also drink an occasional Propel or if I drink water it has to have flavoring also, regular water just doesn't go down well. My Dr & Nut said it was more important that I stay hydrated than anything...You are still in my prayers. -

Anyone else having weird cravings?
ccausley replied to Iowa_summergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First it was Pizza, that didn't go well, than Chicken wings from Buffalo Wild Wings, I ate 3 and that craving was gone. The three that are left are Crab Wontons, Chicken Oriental salad from Applebee's, and Lobster or Crab with a little butter. -
Water and Protein
ccausley replied to ShrinkingEbony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same problem with water but Grape Propel and Orange Gatorade go right down. I started out liking everything over crushed ice, now I just keep the Gatorade or Powerade in fridge. Because I wouldn't care for the drink as much when the Ice melted. -
Bread and Biscuits post op
ccausley replied to Karenlrn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have never tried Toast, Because I experienced the Bread swelling.. But I guess I am confused that the Bread will swell but the Toast won't...I to would like to have the egg/toast. . I need the Protein.. -
Bread and Biscuits post op
ccausley replied to Karenlrn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery the same day as you. And since I haven't been able to hold down shakes since the surgery I have been trying an assortment of food. Bread does not seem to be my friend.. It is the one thing that sends me running for the Bathroom. It feels like I swallow it and it immediately stops half way down and starts absorbing things and bloating up...Anything that would absorb Fluid (Bread, biscuit, dumpling, some Cereal, breading on shrimp,) seem to be a no go for now...I have been able to eat a few chips and am trying wheat thins very slowly right now to try to eat Egg salad with! Good Luck and let me know if you find something that works... -

I am doing better every day, I month out on the 29th...Have not had a shake since pre-surgery.. My nose and sleeve don't like them.. I get my fluids but not my Protein but it is improving every day. I ate a whole yogurt for the 1st time yesterday.. Water still doesn't go down well. but Gatorade & power aide do. I have a hard time getting all my Vitamins and fail at that often also but trying to stay positive... -
Hard Time Getting Fluids Down
ccausley replied to yourmom20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try some Infant Mylicon /Simethicone drops. Wal-Mart/Amazon And Gas X Strips, It also helps to keep a pillow against your belly. When it is less tender lay on your stomach it will also force gas out. I also had a much easier time drinking when it had crushed ice in it for some reason. Good Luck!!!! -
