Thank you so much for the information. Makes sense.

I am power walking 3-4 miles a day and when I get back I have done a Protein drink or bar. Gained 3 pounds all the sudden. Not going to follow the fitpal to add more calories in.

Anyone have recommendations for good Protein bars that are low in carbs? I've been using Quest because it has low "net" carbs. Now I read that carbs are carbs and net carbs have actually not been proven. Any thoughts and suggestions.

All of the sudden my hair is coming out just as predicted. I've tried shelf stuff but still coming out. I'm so good on eating well and taking all my Vitamin. I take Biotin but still coming out. Anyone have any tips and how long this will last? I need to get my hair colored and trimmed but I cancelled until I know it won't cause more harm.

Any information and sharing of experiences would be very helpful.

I'm 3 going on 4 months. Eat salad all the time. No problems at all.

I am 3 months post op. At what point have some of you ate salad? I miss it so bad but I have heard to wait for 4 months. I have stuck by the guidelines as directed but really haven't gotten a straight answer about salad. Thank you.

I found eating quite a bit of onion, green pepper and Tomato fresh in a salad just was too much for me. I am 2 months out on the gastric sleeve. Most things don't seem to bother me and I forget to test eating in a small amount first. Trouble is the diarhea continues several times before I get it to stop. Anyone else have that problem?

Try buying the 2 0z Pocket Protein. You can order online if you can't find. Gives you a great boost of energy.

Hi All,

I was also sleeved on 1/20 but I'm finding it that I have no energy to exercise yet. I feel tired all the time, even though I get in my Protein and liquids. How many calories are you guys consuming now and should we be worries about burning off too many calories when working out?

My hairdresser did my 2 color process last week at my 7 week mark. No problems. I am not having any hair loss before or after.

Hope this helps.

Question to all you ladies..... Is it ok to color my hair? I'm 2 1/2 months post op and my hair has become a little thinner just from more coming out and I need to cover up the grays.... Has anyone had any problems coloring there hair??? I don't do it myself and have a professional do it

I want a squash my big boobs bra which smashes the sides in also. I want to a flatter look without a breast reduction. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what size you wear, but I found these great push-up bras by Warner that fit me really well and give me the boost I need for my deflated boobs. I found them at Kohls, but they only go up to a C cup. Warner has a whole line of bras at Kohls, but the push-up style was the one that worked best for me. I saw one style that specifically said something about back fat, but I don't have that issue, just super saggy boobies... I used to buy my bras at Lane Bryant but now they are all too big.

I break out in a sweat for a few minutes. Never had that before surgery except when I was exercising! Get cool but I can deal with that.

Anyone in sixties getting hot flashes? What is going on? Any suggestions on what could help slow them down or stop them?

Gastric Sleeve cured my urinary problems, back problems and constant gas. I'm 6 weeks out and feel so good.

I'm 6 weeks and will be 7 next week. Followed my Dr to get at least 60gm of Protein and 64 oz Water. Lost 37 pounds so far and only one poop episode. I take B12 tablets once a day and feel great! The best part is I am 67. I'm going to gym 3-4 times a week and walking. I wish I'd loose faster and get discouraged about that but I think the doctor and dietician I picked are the key and they are rock stars!! Good luck fellow sleevers.

Awesome!!

I've lost 40 pounds but I get these hot flashes and trust me it's not menopause. What causes this? I didn't have before the surgery.

I didn't know that I had the hernia until I came out of the op and dr advised he fixed it while in there- no big deal from his perspective.

Me too.

I had the sleeve surgery 1 month ago and Dr. Bobby was my doctor. I had the surgery in Rancho Mirage at Eisenhower Hospital. I feel great and I can't say enough about Dr. Bobby or his staff.
