I haven't experienced it but I am going in for a drastic cut tomorrow just to help my hair. I plan on just below the shoulders so its about a 6" cut since I've just been growing itCurious if anyone in the January group has begun to experience Hair loss yet?

I don't think anyone knows I've lost 50+ lbs total or 40+ lbs since surgery. I feel my clothes fitting so much better. I have more energy. I feel better. It will be interesting to see how much I have to lose for the people that see me every day to notice.

Surgery was 1/15/19. I find I do get hungry but hard to know if it's my eyes or my stomach. I'm getting in my fluids and Protein. I'm down 40 lbs so far. My knees & back hurt much less. Slow and steady wins the race so I'm just trudging along. I can say that I am following my food plan to the t. Although I have eaten 2 French fries but that's it. I hope all my January friends are doing good.

You will be sore for a bit. O had surgery on 1/15/19 and back to my desk job on 1/21/19. Even though it's a desk job, it forced me to get up and walk around. Which I needed. I'm just starting feeling hungry. I'm averaging about 800 calories a day and about 80 grams of Protein.Just curious what to expect for the first 2-3 weeks post-op. I'm day 2 post-op, still sore and still have gas pains from surgery, but I'm hoping every day will get better! I'm so afraid to drink too much Water or Protein Shakes and then get sick, but I want to make sure I'm hydrated.
I have a desk job and was planning on going back on Monday which will be one week post-op. Am I crazy to think that? Am i going to feel OK just after a week's time of rest at home?
Just wondering how everyone else's experience was [emoji4]

I will be 3 weeks tomorrow. I've eaten tuna fish in the packets, string cheese, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, apple sauce, chicken saladLadies I will be officially 3 weeks post op tomorrow. I am so over broth my surgeon told me to try an egg and I can do scrabbles but not boiled mashed up. I am scared to introduce new stuff I know I have too. Anyone that is at this stage what have you tried?

I felt the same way. I wanted to lick it. I just tried to ignore it and eventually the burger was eaten by him and gone. Everything he makes or buys for dinner smells so good. Right now it's in my head but today I felt me stomach growl for the first time since surgery on the 15th. Monday I start puree/soft. I hope it helps to satisfy my head hungerSo I’m a week post op & sugar free Jello, sf popsicle all taste like a pound of sugar. broth is ok but I’m tired of smelling the Wendy’s my husband brought in the house tonight. I’m about to get a clean towel wet it and put a piece of that burger in it and just chomp on it & suck the juice out through the towel. Please talk me off this ledge!!!!!!

First night was rough. I was soooooo thirsty and not allowed to drink more than 2 oz in 1 hour. Each day I got better. Today was my first day back at work. I'm still on clear which sucks. I was just allowed to try 1 oz of Protein Shake to see how it goes. I've done 2 oz and so far so good. It was nice to get a different flavor. I'm sick of sweet sugar free Jello and ice pops. Due to the holiday today, my follow up dr appt was moved to Wednesday. At that point I will be able to move to the next food phase which I'm excited about. I've been in clear over a week. You will do great, dont worry. I tried my hardest not to he nervous but at the hospital before surgery my BP was 188/95. Thankfully its gone down. Please try to sleep when you are tired so that you will have the energy to walk walk walk .Thank you! How is recovery?

I hear ya! Food commercials and smelling food makes me want it but I dont think I'm even hungry.Had my surgery 1/15.
How is everyone that has had it so far feeling?
Is anyone else having any mental hunger? Like I look at food and I would love to eat it but I'm also not physically hungry at all.
Would love to hear how everyone else is doing, it's nice to know you're not the only one going through these lifestyle changes.
