60 to 80 grams of protien a day. Buy premier protien drinks, one for breakfast and another for a snack. Then eat how you normally do. Im 7 month out and hardly had any loss of hair. I was making sure I got that protien in. Good luck to you. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

You are tired because you are not taki g your vitiams and eating properly.you can do this!!!! Call the hospital and make an appointment with a nutritionist. Also start walking, the exercise will help your moods. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

You had a lower BMI also, it seems like. Im 5'1" and was 191. I also seem to be able to eat a bit more. Did u have the sleeve?? Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Don't feel bad. I too am a slow loser. Was sleeved on april 11th and I have lost 27 lbs since suegery. 37 total. However I do notice inces lost even when there is no weight loss. The losse is really pretty slow now especially. This month only 5lbs!!!! I do have to admit I am a lower BMI though. I guess as ling as we are losing thats whats important.

Joann454: I am 9 weeks out from the sleeve and I too can eat anything!!! I also can take relatively large sips of liquid. I wondered id I wad alone. I guess everyone is different. I almost wish I was the oppisite though. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I wouldnt its pretty early. Remember its gonna hit u like a ton of bricks Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Make your meals in advance for the week . So you have them read yo take too work for lunch and when you come home you can quivkly heat it up. This way no snacking while u r preparing dinner or eating the wrong foods Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I think u ate too much. However the color concerns me. Was anyrhing green? Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I get that if I eat to much and or too fast. My mouth also waters a lot almost like before you throw up. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Shame on your husband! Sounds like he's gonna be threatened by the new you. Very sad Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

A heating pad will help Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved 4/11. HW. 191.8 SW. 182.4 CW 158.4 Lately its been a very slow process about a pound a week. I feel good and seem to be able to eat just about anything I try with no problems. I had hoped to lose?a bit more at this point (9 weeks out) but I started with a lower BMI and I guess this is the process. Water and exersice all good. Any other low Bmi' ers out there???? Would love to see if they are in the same boat as I am with the slow loss Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I asked a similar question because I was eating a lot of fat from cheese. I was told not to worry st this point. Im 7 weeks out. I was told to concentrate on water and protien and around 12 weeks OUT then start watching the macros. So I guess its all anout how far out u are. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Maybe if its cash its cheaper, i dont know. This?was the price when covered by insurance. The doctor you go to is extremely important. hf is a center of excellence. They have higher standards. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

The cost for a sleeve st henry ford hospital detroit is 16,000. Rny is 17,000. I had the sleeve 7 weeks ago at HF. Im doung great, no ptoblems at all. Cant say enough about my experience at HF. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Are you on meds??? Thst seems strange..... i would look into that deeper. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

From my understanding its not the humidifier so muce?as just sleeping with your moth open. I have thw humidifier set and still open my mouth while sleeping. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes true. I have the nasal pad type and at firrst I did very well, no dry mouth. For some reason I am now opening my moth when I sleep and the dry mouth is horrible. From my understanding if you open your mouth during sleep the machine cant do its job. I even have a chin strap, which seems useless. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

You dont swallow it. You unloosen the capsule and put it in a spoonful of yogurt. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

They gave me a prescription when I left the hospital to begin when I got home. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Cjqueen b1: did you have an appointment with your surgeon yet??? Im 4 weeks out and doing great. How ever told you the first year is hell is wrong. With that said, for me its hard because im eating a limited amout and kinds of food. Sounds like to me ypu have not had any appointments with the doc, nutritionist nurse, etc yet. Dont listen to nay sayers. Everyone is different. Some people have a harder time than others, however Ive never hear the 1st yesr is hell. A year out you more than likely can eat most all foods but in a smaller quanity. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes I use the chin strap till have dry mouth!!! Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

That happens ro me also. I think I may have to go to the mask type that covers the nose and mouth. I keep opening our mouth when I sleep and that defeats the purpose of the machine. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

HOLLYGOLIGHTLYVSG: I was sor also on that side. Im now 22 days out and it is gone! Can u get a wedge pillow? That may help. Are u on full liquids still. I say that because i was eating a lot of milk products, protien shakes, cottagr cheese, pudding all which are milk based and that made me bloated and gassy. I was told to use unflavored fiber and that seems to help. It will get better soon probably when u start eating more. Hang in[emoji5] Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

This may seem like a dumb question but did any of you get very emotional a few weeks out after the sleeve??? Im 24 days PO and all is really good, no problems, but today Ive been crying at the drop of a hat..... no real reason. Just very teary. Anyone else experience this???
