Does everyone's hair fall out?
muzical1 replied to alindsey's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
No. My doctor suggested I start Biotin during my 6 month pre-surgery period. I've continued to take it and after 9 mos have no loss. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Breast implants- considering them
muzical1 replied to naturegirl's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I'm considering a boob job as my breast are deflated after losing 77lbs. I have 20lbs to go before doing so. Never heard of gummy bear implants. What's the difference? -
Nothing! I was given an IV before being wheeled to surgery. I was out after that until I woke up in recovery. Didn't feel bad at all.

Congratulations!!! You rock! -
When in is it safe to have a drink?
muzical1 replied to thbrown223's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had glass of wine after three months and was fine. -
Dumping is the worst! I also get it when I eat too quickly or eat something that has too much sugar or oil. Now I try to eat slowly and taste foods and wait to see how it goes down. After several months, I don't like eating out because of this.

8 days post-op, no weight loss and I can eat without pain
muzical1 replied to etab4life's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At that stage the only side affect of surgery was fatigue. I didn't feel like I had surgery otherwise. After a month or so reality kicked in and I had difficulty transitioning to puréed and solids. Be grateful your first few weeks aren't so bad and follow your plan. I'm 6 months out now and my life has been radically changed for the better and I'm almost down 80lbs. -

muzical1 replied to cheri02's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I gained 4 pounds during my 6 month pre-surgery process. It's a real struggle. In the end, I lost a total of 5lbs and was approved for surgery. I'm 6 months post-op and am doing great (-76 lbs). My relationship with food has completely changed. -
My insurance requires a 6-month physician supervised diet?!? :(
muzical1 replied to piemonade's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I did a 3 month program as well. Even though the total time was 4 months it flew by so fast. During the time you'll be so busy learning how to live your new life. -
Do You Eat Breakfast? What Do You Have?
muzical1 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition
I always have Greek yogurt with berries or a protein shake for breakfast. I like to begin with protein to help me meet my daily intake goal. -
I can't believe it but 5 months in and 7 pounds to goal ????
muzical1 replied to _Kate_'s topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You look fabulous! -
I was tempted by everything edible at that point after surgery. Can't imagine doing that during the holiday with all the food tempting me. You're lucky you didn't have any physical issues - I had/have when I'm off program. But just wake up tomorrow and start again. Everyday we learn how to live differently. It's a process. Stalls happen so don't fret.

Same problem here. I'm 6 mos post op and am a half size smaller.

My feet shrank a half shoe size. I'm 6 months post-op.

I'm hearing I'm taking the easy way out from family and friends
muzical1 replied to Protea's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is the hardest thing I've ever done. Nothing easy about this. People don't realize that so don't let his thoughts and lack of information dissuade you. I kept my process to myself and a couple others. -
I'm 6 months out and am rarely hungry. I still have to remind myself to eat.
-
After a few months the chewable vitamins are making me nauseous. Please tell me what you're taking as I need to change.

Thank you! -
What’s the ONE thing you wished you knew before getting sleeved ?
muzical1 replied to Scottyd1264's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I wish I understood the depth of life change this has been. Probably would have still done it, but it's taking a while to realize food will never have the same meaning again. -
time it takes to eat
muzical1 replied to journeymeh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A very long time. Not less than 20 minutes, 40 is better. I don't dine out much anymore because it's not as much fun. -
I can't tolerate fried foods anymore. Maybe others can. Just taste and wait to see how it goes down.

What's been your biggest post op realization about food
muzical1 replied to Sophie74656's topic in Food and Nutrition
I didn't realize how much food controlled my life. Meal times were the most important time of day. Not so much anymore and I'm happy about that. -
Feel sick all the time
muzical1 replied to cjd2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are not alone. I went through a tough time 4-6 weeks after rny like yours. It turned out to be nothing but I did have to return to liquid diet for a while. Check with your doc to be sure all is well. If so, you'll be fine in no time. -
Please send positive thoughts and energy my way. Doc sent records to insurance for approval. I'm super excited!!!
