    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!

    Weed's not legal here, but CBD is. There are some oils that are flavored that help remove that "earthy" taste. The cinnamon ones taste much better than the plain.
    I talked at length with a CBD distributor at a music festival and asked about so many companies jumping on the CBD bandwagon. It's a new industry without a lot of regulations and quality controls in place yet, so know where you get it from (of course he said HIS company was the best!). So I imagine one brand might work better for you than the other. I doubt the honey doesn't help other than to make it taste better. Be sure to compare the CBD concentration of your product because it's all over the map.
    I've never used it, but I hear valerian root helps many people relax and sleep.
    I hope you find something that helps you!

    I would worry about the sugar in the honey causing dumping syndrome...you might try a half dose and see if you tolerate it. There are some CBD products that have no honey in it, maybe try that?

    I'm from Canada, and I got mine from the govertment-operated website which, at the time I bought it, was the only place we can get it legally up here, unless it's doctor prescribed...which mine isn't.
    Unless you get some word-of-mouth recommendations from people in your state, you may have to do some trial and error, which may get expensive though...
    Is yours prescribed? Can you ask your doctor for recommendations?
    P.S. I've tried the non-flavoured oil as well. I am NOT a fan.
    P.P.S. Also make sure you look at the percentage of CBD in any product...this may be why your first one didn't work?

    Can you get CBD oil? No sugar, and depending on what the manufacturer uses as base oil, calories would range from 5-20 calories per dropperful.
    I have a peppermint CBD oil spray, which I've used sporadically for relaxation/sleep and more recently for post-plastics pain management, and it does not make me stoned, nor hungry, nor sick to my stomach.
    Edited to add: Also, I would stay away from smoking in the early days as it hampers healing. Though ideally, just stay away from smoking at all ❤️

    I’m 3 1/2 months post surgery and consume sugar in my tea a couple times a day and eat a few FlaVorIce ice pops (with sugar) each day (it’s hot and humid in Brisbane).
    I’ve never experienced dumping.
    I remain extremely limited in what I can eat, but sugar hasn’t been an issue, so I doubt honey would be an issue for me.

    My highest weight was 330lbs day of surgery I was around 284lbs. I currently weigh 210lbs. I had my surgery March 27,2019. I am happy at my current weight (as in if I don’t loose more I’d be happy) but still going to try and get to 165lbs.

    I had the same problem four months out ended up I wasnot chewing food good enough. So it would get stuck in my chest and I’d end up puking every-time. Take smaller bites and chew more. And for the Vitamins I would always get sick when taking them. The only ones that sit well are the fast dissolving bariatricpal ones on here I use the prenatal ones.

    Will Peanut Butter get stuck in your pouch after rny? I know a stupid question I’ve been scared since surgery(March 20,2019) to try to eat it and just melted some and licked the spoon then dipped a part of a banana in it and ate it it was to sticky for my mouth so I decided to drizzle it on the banana but now I’m sitting here wondering if it’s even possible for peanut butter to get stuck in your pouch after surgery.

    Biotin BariMelts seem like the strongest thing I tried. I had to stop taking them because hair I had lasered off my legs/pits started growing back!
    I had similar results with collagen.
    Have you tried asking your hairdresser for help covering it?
    BTW, I thought I didn't lose any hair but my hairdresser told me that I had! I have shorter hair now, but I love it. As far as I know, I've stopped losing it.

    I could give you the advice an elderly relative gave me years ago...

    ...but that probably wouldn't be particularly helpful! 😲

    I’ve noticed now that I’m eating solids like meats and stuff my teeth and jaw hurt. Like a pressure in the back teeth. And I’m sitting here wondering why my teeth hurt and realized maybe it’s because before I’d inhale my food without really chewing and now I actually chew my food really well. I’m hoping it’s just muscles forming or something 😂 now that I can eat meat I have been eating 4oz of round steak for all three meals for the past two weeks to meet my Protein needs. Nothing else sits well 🙄 and I can’t do anymore Protein Shakes. Any tips on getting the pain to chill out so I can eat tomorrow? Today there was so much pressure when I tried to eat so I just didn’t 😂 hopefully this won’t last to long.

    I bought one pre-surgery and it was so uncomfortable! And I don't carry my weight on my belly as much. I tried it on a while ago and same thing. I haven't thrown it out though so there is still hope lol.

    I had an IUD placed in May, when I decided to really go for surgery since I know my fertility would increase as I lose weight. I do not have, nor do I want any children, so protecting myself is absolutely necessary!
    As far as hearing bad things about IUDs - there are different ones. Research them all! I know a lot of ladies who have, and love nexplanon with minimal side effects. I have a mirena and it has been serving me well so far. The last thing I want to worry about in this stage is my birth control!
