Amber Jessup got a reaction from danaymacklin in Sugar free candy
I have had luck with some sugar free candies. You have to look at the sugar alcohol content and gauge it. I started with sugar free life savers and did ok. Some Russel Stover's sf chocolates are fine, others make me feel yucky. I'd avoid sugar free licorice, Gummy bears, and Reese's.
I'm 10 months out and don't have these items at all anymore. 1) because I don't want to really on artificial sweeteners for sweets so I fruit instead, and 2) because they seem to make me constipated and that's a tricky balance at my phase.
Good luck, dear!

Amber Jessup got a reaction from Anthrodiva in When can you eat lettuce or a salad?
My program had me wait until 6 months because the lettuce and salads can be hard to digest. I'm 10 months out now and I eat 2 salads a day!

Amber Jessup got a reaction from Elyse519 in Need some help!!!
This sounds more life food poisoning to me... when I have "dumped" it's been within 10 minutes of eating something and it never involves vomiting. I hope you feel better soon! ?

Yep, all normal. The first few weeks will be uncomfortable but it's worth it!

Amber Jessup got a reaction from AbDou CéTé in Hair loss
I didn't notice hair loss until about 3 months in... I have really thick hair but shed a lot and lost a lot in the shower. In slowed down a lot around 8 months and now I'm 10 months out and don't notice any Hair loss. Like I said, I have thick hair, so only *I* noticed it. I ended up just washing my hair less for a few months until the loss slowed down. Everyone is different... I know some people take Biotin to help during that time... the good news is-it's not permanent and hair grows back
