Year out and eating anything
I agree it was awesome. Thank you

Just Curious .. can you handle bread, rice, pasta?
Rice is the devil!!! One I eat it to fast and two it never sits well. It hurts so bad. I always say "I will never eat it again" but here I go eating it again. And now I know this is the second time and I promise never again. I feels likes it's coming back up and the shoulder pain is bad. Note to self: no carbs especially rice!!!'

Year out and eating anything
I'm bummed that after a Year out I can now eat anything. Although it's smaller portions, I am losing control of the healthy life style. Argg. I was down from 220 pre sleeve to 147 today. But I was 143 and now I'm gaining. I try to stay under 1200 calories. Should I go back to my books and do the post sleeve surgery diet?

A year out on December 2nd. Ask me anything
I am almost a year out and I am down from 230 to 142!!!! After about the 7 month I was able to eat a little more but get full fast! I am sooo glad I did it. I feel so healthy and thin! I struggle making good choices at times and my old habits come back sometimes but I just think back and look at fat pictures and I set myself straight. I never want to be that way again. I look at a friend who had surgery two years and she gained a lot of weight. I so don't want that.

A year out on December 2nd. Ask me anything
I had surgery Jan this year. Almost a year out. Yes you will loose your hair but it's temporary. I have long thick, curly hair and I am horrified BUT you MUST Buy Keranique !! Monthly subscription l! Not kidding after the first month my hair was so full! Couldn't tell I had hair loss and as the months go on my hair will start to grow back and it is two months and I see the difference. I went to a dermatologist and he said don't worry it will grow back. I also take Sugarbear gummy vitamins. So tasty and proven results. It's for hair.

Concerned about hair loss. Remedies?
I am 10 months out and been losing a lot of hair. It will come back. But what works real good is Keratine (Sp) treatment. I bought online. It's expensive ($79) month but comes with shampoo conditioner serum and spray. I'm only in first month but wow the volume it gives is awesome. And I heard hair will regrow within 3 months. I also take sugar bear gummies vitamins. Went to doctor about hair loss and he said be patient it will grow back.

How do I stop eating so fast?
I'm a fast eater 10 months out and if I eat too fast I get hiccups. I hate it!!!
-
What did you wish you knew before surgery?
That the Weight comes off fast. And you can't wear your old clothes anymore. That you may have gallstones from rapid weight loss. Have them take it out with sleeve

Old clothes
Now that I am down 70 lbs I can't wear my old clothes. I have some nice stuff. I know I can donate, consignment shops never work for me but does anyone have any other ideas where I can make a little cash and buy my new wardrobe. ??

Social Drinking?
I am seven months post and have an occasional. Try to have low sugar drink. Never have carbonation again (sad) so no more beer. (Sad). But I realized (1) I don't really like drinking anymore and (2) it did nothing for me. I didn't get buzzed. Haha. So sticking to maybe a glass of wine if that. I feel too good to go back to the old ways. I'm down 64 lbs seven months out.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST PROTEIN TO TAKE?
I use Unjury unflavored protein powder. I use a half scoop powder in my coffee. It does have s little flavor but it's not bad at all. And has lots of protein. But if your ready your best getting your protein by food. Eat high protein foods.

Extra skin?
