  2. Hi, don't say that how far are you with the surgery? If you want I can translate mine its in spanish since my surgery was over seas, and give it to you. Yes it's a life style change but you need guidance. Let me know Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App
  3. I just had a chat with my dr. He says it's normal and recommended me to weight my self only every month, since after the 3rd week you will fluctuate a bit, because your body is trying to adjust to the changes in food and food consistency. Am with you Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

    Hair Loss

    Am 3 weeks post op, my hair is falling out but just a bit, I take b supplements, because that is the one that gets absorbed faster by your stomach. It helps! But honestly so far my hair looks great.. only time will tell and not all bodies are the same, so just keep an eye on yours Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

    Why did I do this?

    Kind of having a baby, you will be eating like a baby, from liquids to puree to semi solids to solids in 5 weeks. first week specially the first 3 days are bad, because you have so much gas and it hurts, but it only gets better with time and lots of walking Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

    Fluids/protein

    Hi, am 3 weeks post op, am trying a shake that my nutritionist recommend it's called infusion bariatric. I make it in water. That helps. I used to chunk on water now it's hard to go with 8 cups a day, remember it's either water or food at one given time. So another thing is choosing fruits that contain lots of water to compensate. Hope it helps Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App
