I’m so happy for you!!! I have 2 rainbow babies. Did you really do 8 tests???

I would talk to your OB/GYN and your surgeon about that issue. None of us are qualified to discuss medicines safe for a baby on board situation. Sorry your tummy is burning, but glad the urps and nausea is leaving! Congrats on 9 weeks!

I use it for my pcos and insomnia. I don’t get high then go eat. It was just a question because before a teaspoon or less of honey worked better then weed. And didn’t know if I could get something I know works for try a different cbd product.

Before surgery I would use cbd honey to help me sleep. I am currently smoking weed but The honey always helped me sleep better. Did anyone have any issues eating honey after surgery? I don’t wanna buy a $60 honey if I can’t eat it 😂

Hi! I got pregnant 4 months post op. Had my baby and pregnancy was a breeze. My restriction faded during pregnancy so I was able to eat more but I still dealt with dumping on certain items. Also I didnt gain any weight actually lost 27lbs. I was not considered high risk at all. I also refused for glucose drink and opted in for the finger sticks 4 times a day.

February 5th I found out I am indeed pregnant. I’m close enough to what’s recommended (march27,2019 is my surgery date) so I don’t want any lectures. This is for the ladies who have successfully gotten pregnant after wls did you have healthy and successful pregnancies? Did you have any complications?

It never grew back for me.

I consistently hit my Protein goals. I still lost A LOT of hair.
Started around 2-3 months post op and kept on going until month 7 or 8. It was very annoying. On the bright side, I got to cut off all my hair into a cute pixie cut.
I am now almost 15 months post of and its almost all back to normal. I can see all these new hairs growing all over the place that are almost as long as my regular hair. Now, my hair is still on the short side, so that helps, and my hair was already on the thin for years anyway...
It sucks, but barring any major issues, your hair will go back to what it was pre-op. Eventually.
Good Luck!

Yeah, I guess it WOULD get into your system waaaay faster after a bypass!
🤪

I’m to much of a chicken to try thc edibles my mom had gastric bypass also and ate a single mini cookie and was trippin 😂

I melted coconut oil, added herb and simmered it for an hour, Then melted chocolate chips into it and added a bit of sugar. I froze it so it would keep. It was yummy like fudge! But I recently threw it away-I was afraid I would dump with it! First time in my life I wasted good herb...😰

Find a very pure product and make your own spiced honey? I'm sure YouTube has a tutorial 😂

I eat a ton of Protein and still have thinning hair. I use a generic version of Rogaine on my scalp, Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner and take Biotin gummies every day. It's not growing my hair back, but at least I haven't lost any more.

Well depends on your Dr but most people need between 60-90g Protein a day...

Yeah I usually hit 80-90g everyday I've never had hair fall out but it is growing a little thinner and slower than normal not as thick as normal before surgery.... I'm sure in a few months it will get better...

Yes at one point I was loosing huge chunks everyday I also started nioxin hair care system so that’s helped it slow down quite a bit to

That’s what I was thinking 😂 I like sleep but $200 for a tiny bottle is to rich for my blood I’ll stick to my $30 8ths 😂😂

Thank you all ❤️ just got my Protein test results and there a little low so it’s probably a mixture of all. I definitely will go get some Biotin

So in October I stopped Protein Shakes because I thought I was eating enough Proteins with my meals. Well I guess I wasn’t my hair is thinning terribly so this month I started drinking Protein shakes again. How long does it take for the Protein levels to build back up in your blood and how long till my hair grows back? Should I drink extra shakes to get some extra Proteins for it to build up faster? Or how many shakes a day is to much? (I drink Premier Protein Shakes with 30g) figured this would be a good time to do a liquid”ish” diet where I drink shakes during the day and one real meal for dinner. I feel like I’ve been eating to much the past couple of months. I’m not longer in Ketosis so I’m thinking if I do this liquid diet my body will start burning fat again(haven’t lost much since November) There’s a photo of my hair to show how much it’s thinned.

Don't Bogart that joint, my friend, pass it over to me......
$200 for CBD oil? You can get the real deal much cheaper!

Honey may be trail and error. Perhaps try regular first before the medicinal stuff.
My surgeon didn't want anyone smoking/vaping nicotine products and as for cannabis he said dont tell him (I'm sure for liability sake. 😂)

From DFW Bariatric Institute:
"Hair loss after bariatric surgery is very common and very stressful. We all want to achieve great weight loss results and still have great hair. The Hair loss associated with weight loss surgery is called telogen effluvium and has to do with the normal Hair growth cycle. It usually starts abruptly and very seldom lasts longer than 6 months. Human hair has a two-stage growth cycle. The growth phase is called anagen and 90% of our hair follicles are in this phase at any given time. The resting phase is called telogen, which lasts about 1 to 6 months, with an average of 3 months. About 5-15% of our hair is in the resting phase at any given time. It is also known that telogen effluvium has to do with stress to the body and hormonal changes that can occur. Due to the stress more hair follicles can enter into the resting phase. This is important because the hair in the resting phase at the time of surgery is most likely the hair you will shed. This is why your hair sheds between 1 to 6 months after surgery (usually about 3 to 4 months)."
Some people say taking Biotin can help.

Hair loss is pretty common. Mine was barely noticeable - but I was "shedding" from about month 5 to month 8. Not much you can do about it other than keep on top of your Protein and Vitamins so it doesn't get any worse than it would otherwise.

Unfortunately it’s part of the whole ride!! I lost a lot a hair from about 4-5 months to a the year mark, it finally stopped. My hair is so thin on the bottoms but growing so eventually will be good again, until there extensions, tape in ones, work great, ask your hairdresser!
