AT ABOUT 3 MONTHS I STARTED LOSING LOTS AND LOTS OF HAIR. WHAT WAS WORSE WAS THAT IT WAS IN THE FRONT WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE. I WAS SO FREAKED OUT ABOUT MY HAIR LOSS I WENT TO MY DOCTOR TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO. FIRST THING HE ASKED IS IF I TAKE ALL MY VITAMINS....WELL THAT WAS A NEGATIVE. I WASN'T TAKING THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THEY'D MAKE ME FEEL SICK. I STARTED TAKING THEM RELIGIOUSLY AND ADDED BIOTIN. MY HAIR HAS BEEN GROWING OUT NOW, AND I DON'T LOSE AS MUCH HAIR. ***SO THE KEY IS TO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ALL YOUR VITAMINS EVERY SINGLE DAY***

I'm almost 7 months out of surgery and feel grrrreeat!!! Best thing I could've done for myself.

WHAT IS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE PROTEIN? BEST TASTING? MOST PROTEIN?

My doctor told me to wait at least 3 months. I'm almost 4 months and just barely had my first drink last night. I had vodka and diet cranberry with some water. I had no complications, but I was drinking water as well.

IT'S NORMAL. FIRST WEEK I LOST 15LBS. FIRST MONTH I LOST 39 LBS. AFTER THE FIRST MONTH I STARTED SLOWING DOWN TO ABOUT 2-3LBS A WEEK. JUST KEEP UP YOUR LIQUID AND TRY TO WALK AT LEAST 30 MINS.

When can we start doing Situps and crunches? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I told everyone....i was so excited to get my surgery... after surgery everyone has been so supportive...Plus they know not to bring me junk food now Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

My husband is doing the same thing as Guru in training's wife. He's starting to walk a lot more now. It is awesome to have the extra support. Any was there is a reason she's your ex, her not appreciating the weight loss just gives you another reason.

Has anyone had problems with breaking out? My face use to be so clear (except for my rosacea break outs) before surgery, now I feel like I break out more. I also feel like I'm extra sensitive now. It's so weird!!

MINE ARE 1 WEEK, 1 MONTH, 3 MONTHS, 6 MONTHS, 1 YEAR

LOL!!! I LOVE BOTH AS WELL

I'm an athletic secretary at a high school/ security guard (lol). I went back a week later. Felt ok. I just took a nap during lunch and after work. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

AWESOME!! Thanks for the great tip. I'll definitely get that app.

WHEN ARE WE ALLOWED TO EAT SALSA? I AM MEXICAN-AMERICAN AND I LOVE MAKING SALSA AND EATING IT WITH JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. SOOOO, I WAS WONDERING HOW FAR IN ARE WE ALLOWED TO EAT IT?

How long does it take for us to heal both inside and out? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Is it bad to drink ice cold water? I love drinking my water super cold. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

It might just be that you need to walk more. I got sleeved 4/13 and I'm down 29lbs. I do walk a lot though. I usually walk 3-4 miles a day Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Don't worry, I did the same thing. I didn't regret it either.. lol Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I ATTACHED SOME INFO FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT GETTING SURGERY. I HOPE IT HELPS. 170501165210_0001.pdf

I haven't been taking it anymore. If I start getting acid reflux, I'll start taking it again. But as of now, I haven't been getting it at all. I hate taking meds that I don't need to. Eeeek! I also started the puree step early. I did it real slow though. I didn't have any trouble over the weekend, so I'm sticking to it. It was heaven to my taste buds. I can't wait to try the soft foods!! hehehe! I have lots of sugar free jello too.

I've been taking it off and on. I really don't want to take it at all. So far I haven't had any acid reflux, so I don't see the point ( but I'm not the doctor...lol). I'll continue to take it off and on.

TODAY IS EXACTLY 2 WEEKS AFTER MY SURGERY. MY DOCTOR STARTED ME ON MY VITAMINS & PRILOSEC AND STILL HAS ME ON A FULL LIQUID DIET ( MEANING JUST YOGURT, BROTHS, CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP (STRAINED) CREAM OF MUSHROOM (STRAINED), CREAM OF CELERY (STRAINED), PROTEIN SHAKES, SUGAR FREE JELLO, SUGAR FREE POPSICLES, SUGAR FREE PUDDING) I DISLIKE THE LIQUID DIET!! I'M SO GROSSED OUT BY EVERYTHING NOW. I NEED TO FIND DIFFERENT SOUPS TO HAVE, BECAUSE ALL THIS SWEET STUFF ( JELLO, POPSICLES, PUDDING, YOGURT, PROTEIN SHAKES) IS ALREADY MAKING ME SICK I CAN'T WAIT TO START THE PUREE STEP. I DO FEEL LIKE I'M STARTING TO HAVE MORE ENERGY THOUGH. THE FIRST WEEK I FELT KIND OF WEAK. THE TAPE ON MY INCISSIONS ARE BARELY STARTING TO FALL OFF ( THEY TOLD ME NOT TO TAKE THEM OFF, THAT THEY NEED TO FALL OFF ON THEIR OWN). THIS WEEK I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY MOVE BACK INTO MY ROOM ( I WAS SLEEPING ON THE COUCH, IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER THEN MY BED). I STILL SLEEP ON MY SIDE, WHICH IS TOURTURE BECAUSE I'M A STOMACH SLEEPER & CAN'T MOVE TOO MUCH ON THE BED. I'VE ALREADY LOST 26LBS AND 2 PANT SIZES. I'M BARELY NOW STARTING TO NOTICE IT ON MY FACE AND MY WAIST. I WISH I WOULD'VE MEASURED MY WAIST BEFORE. ANY WHO, I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET MY GOAL WEIGHT! I WILL POST NEXT WEEK
