Amazing

Girl ... bald can be cute Wigs can be cute But healthy is sexy

I have been worried about the same thing although I'm only a month post OP. I have found out that there is little correlation between biotin and hair regrowth in this situation, but L-Lysine seems promising. Also ferritin, iron store levels seem crucial. Please Research Telogen Effluvium , iron, ferritin and L-Lysine, and see if any of this information helps.

definitely stay on top of your calories but call your doctors

It matters when dealing with insurance companies covering the procedure, if you pay out of pocket it may not. But if you have documented comorbidities that may bypass the BMI requirements. Meet with a surgeon, contact your insurance company and go from there.

I had a sleeve gastrectomy because i didnt want to experience dumping associated with RNY

Hi there, Im looking for a sleeve buddy, virtual or otherwise. Im located in the capital district of NY. BTW Im a 35yo mother of three. THANKS!!!

Super bored with hanging out with married/ committed people. They just dont have the same mindset i have. Any singles out there looking for new friendships?

Looks like we will have to form a group, im loving the support!!!

Hi there, I totally agree and im here for you as well! Anytime!

Yay!!!

Yes!!!! Lets do this

Hi all, I decided right before my surgery (11/7/17) that I would not purchase a scale. I figured I will be weighed when it truly matters (in office ) and I would focus all of my attention on NSV. So far it feels wonderful not worrying about numbers and it allows me to build different goals like meal planning, water intake challenges and walking goals. I think I will only buy a scale if my doctor recommends . Anyone else on a similar path?

Feeling great today , I started pureed foods last night (a couple hours early ) had salmon salad. I feel so much better now that I have found vitamins I can have that don't cost a fortune. Still working to get up to 64oz of pure water but I forget to eat and drink some times then I'm rushing to get it in. I'm going to set alarms. How is everyone else doing?

I haven't told many people (only two ) and the day before surgery my friend said to me of you could lose ten pounds on the preop diet why don't you just forget about the surgery! I flipped on this friend because : A. I was so nervous I could barely breathe and this friend was my support system that voiced no concerns prior B. The day before surgery is not the time to try to convince someone to change their minds C. This friend knew my rare comorbidity which was the reason for the surgery All of this to say that sometimes people mean well but cannot execute their concerns, albeit well intended, correctly. Take it with a grain of salt. Wash the hurt away with a shower, continue YOUR JOURNEY, and live your truth.

100g of protein a day sounds amazing, please share your techniques... Also you WILL loss it may not come in a direct path but it will come, maybe it would be helpful to recognize some of your non scale victories like looser sleeves thinner facial planes etc...

Whenever I felt like I needed to promote movement (pre op) I drank senna tea. It works well. I wonder if this would be approved by the Gastric teams?

Sorry, if it's any consolation I haven't really even eaten any Had cream of wheat once pudding four times and yogurt four times, and that's in two weeks. I've been obsessed with hydration... Almost at 64oz of pure water I am beginning to notice that plans vary greatly however in my plan during stage 1 full liquids I a MN allowed to have SF jello SF pudding low fat yogurt and thinned cream of wheat in addition to the liquids. What does everyone else's stage one look like?
