I am almost a year out. I had a lot of hair loss from 5th to 9th months. I have not used any hair products and this is what my hair looks like now. The texture is more dry and brittle. I still refuse to cut it short. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had mine four days after surgery. It wasn't the best timing. Never have missed any periods since. Now the hormonal cravings are back in full force. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

All summer long I have been able to paint my toe nails as often as I want. No more every two week pedicure. Saves money and time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I started noticing my collar bones about 6-7 month mark. They are not where I want to be just yet. But I do catch myself looking at it in the mirror. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My VSG and hiatal hernia repair was about 1.5 hours long. Zero complications or pain post surgery. Only had nausea first night as expected. I did spend two nights at the hospital. Self paid. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My relationship with my former loves like ice creams and Desserts ( cheese included) have changed so much now that I don't even think about ordering them or buying them. On rare occasions I might take a bite or two but it doesn't give me the same satisfaction it used to like in my mindless eating days. I still treat myself to occasional chai at a Indian restaurant. But don't miss the Starbucks addictions. Funny how much surgery changed me not just physically. I think my new guilty pleasure will be upgrading my clothing, shoe and jewelry wardrobes. Nothing that I owned a year ago fits and I was hesitant about getting rid of everything all at once but it's high time I let go of my fat clothes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Like most Bariatric patients, I sometimes require help for BM. Couple of times I noticed acute pain in my abdomen after taking laxative. Once I even ended up in ER. Does anyone else have similar reaction to laxatives? What am I doing wrong? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can't wait for my collar bones to stick out more. Shop in misses sizes ( I can dream) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't eat cheese on a daily basis. As much as I love it. I will eat it when i entertain. I am concerned about its saturated fat content after watching shows like my 600lb life, Supersize vs Superskinny and Fat Doctor. So these days cheese is a treat.

Im over 10 months out and still rely on shakes to hit my Protein goals. Some days its a challenge to consume 100 grams of protein in solid form. I would rather drink it than go without it. Pounds are still coming off so I'm happy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
