Restaurant discounts with our weight-loss card
I didn't get a card. I didn't know such a thing existed. Is this something my surgeon can provide to me?

Thanks.

Surgery on Monday -- really nervous
Look at how many of us here are had no complications or problems with the surgery. It 's only natural to have cold feet. It's okay, you've got this, you can do it!

Hair loss
It's one of the common things that happens post-bariatric surgery, but I think it only lasts for a short period of time. I'm taking Biotin and using Rogaine and Nioxin.

My pre-op tests are tomorrow, and I’m freaking out!
I was already on a CPAP for sleep apnea for several years, so I didn't have to do a sleep test because we already knew the results.

You can do it! It's just two weeks and it shrinks your liver and it's so worth it.

Sip, sip, sip, all day long, different varieties of liquids

Help ??
Go back to the basics of when you first had the surgery, weighing in, tracking and measuring everything you eat. You have control of this.

Cravings from Hell
It'll be better once you get to soft foods and then solid foods because you'll have some texture to satisfy you

Food stuck...Weight Loss Goals
You're doing GREAT! Keep up the good work! I need to slow down my eating.

What do you do when you don’t want to eat?
I'm not liking food much lately and at first I wasn't eating anything, which wasn't helping my weight loss, so then I started filling in the calories with things like Wheat Thins or Pringles, which are a BAD IDEA! So I can certainly relate to your dilemma.

Post-OP Walking
I could walk as much as I wanted immediately after surgery. I waited about 2 weeks before biking.

Migraines getting worse - 8 months post op
Me too! I'm 7 months post-op sleeve and hadn't had a migraine in 2 years but now I've had two in the last couple of weeks and many crushing migraine-like headaches that weren't full-blown migraines. I thought it was the weather, heat, humidity, and atmospheric pressure

Protein suggestions I finally found a good protein powder
I'm glad you found something you like. I have always used the premades as opposed to the powder and I use GNC Lean Shakes in chocolate.

Got off track
Go back to the basics. Track everything you eat in an app like MyFitnessPal. Count your calories. Focus on protein. Get the water in. Get some exercise. You know the drill, you can do this!

Vision Changes?
No, I didn't experience anything like that
-

I promise you it gets better. Hang in there. You've just been through a major surgery. Show yourself some love.
