Thanks a million for this post! I am starting to get freaked out at ALL the hair I lose each day (especially in the morning after my shower). I am almost 6 months out. The hair loss started at about 5 months out. I am going to continue to take the vitamins and add a couple as well. My 6 mo appointment with blood work is the first week of Feb. I am anxious to see what the tests show! Thanks!

Thanks all! I truly appreciate your advice!

Hi all, I had bypass on 7/23. I really miss sandwiches and am dying for a couple bites. When were you able to eat bread without problems? thanks!!

As long as it wasn't for the Patriots or Packers you're forgiven

Thank you all! I am going to give it a try today and see how full size goes.

Hi, I am 6 weeks post-op and still cutting pills in halves or quarters. Some just feel too big to make it through my new stomach/intestines. When were you able to confidently take full size pills without issues? Thanks! Megan

Thanks so much!!

Thanks so much for sending your positive energy my way!! When and where is your surgery? I’m 5 weeks out now and started regular food on Monday. I’m being very cautious and trying to stay positive. Megan

Thanks!! I’m gonna go next year and share my faves- just have bites

Can you taste the protein power? I’m trying to find something I can mix with yogurt and a little fruit and not taste. Thanks!

I’m in the same boat...Good to know I’m not alone!

I’m also a compulsive over eater and I think I too need OA. Are there OA groups that don’t require its members to eat a specific diet? Obviously after gastric bypass there are already plenty of restrictions for me at this point (I’m 5 weeks post op). Any advice? I’m craving things and am depressed about not being able to eat without fearing getting sick. Thanks! Megan

I am in St. Paul. On the HealthEast website it lists some out there - a few at St. Joseph's Hospital in St. Paul. Hope this helps!

I am in the same boat! Miss my bloody mary once in awhile or a amaretto sour! But I don't want to get wasted either.

Hey all - I am almost a month out from my RNY surgery (had it 7/23). I am struggling emotionally right now, especially with the State Fair here. Anything that helped you mourn your favorite foods or food rituals? Thanks in advance. Megan
