  1. Thanks a lot for your responses!!! I am 100% sure now it is protein deficiency that's causing my hair fall. I'm ashamed to say I'm not following any protein requirements or other rules after surgery and I'm at stall after losing 35 lbs. I need to restart the process!!!!!
  2. Plz someone tell me why my hair is falling sooooo much after surgery?? Is it protein deficiency or vitamin deficiency? When I put my hand in the hair or brush my hair, bunch of hair comes out!!!! If this continues then I will be bald soon!!!! Plz tell me what should I do or take for stopping hair fall?? I NEVER had this problem before in my life!! Thanks a lot........
  3. Hi I'm dealing with severe HS most of my life and NOTHING has helped me so far. Unfortunately, my 12 yr old daughter got it also and I feel very bad that I can't do anything for her. I recently started using an antibacterial soap called CUTICURA which u have to order online and it is helping better than hibiclens.
  4. June 3rd SW 280 Current weight 245 Lost 35lbs
  5. I was on Abilify and seroquel. I used to get up in the middle of night at least 2-3 times and ate. I had vague memory of it in the morning though. After my sleeve, my surgeon told me to stop both of those meds. I was able to switch Abilify and take new drug called latuda. And I love latuda!!!! I'm not able to get off of the seroquel though as I have severe insomnia and nothing but seroquel helps. I don't wake up as much and eat on seroquel as i did with Abilify.
  6. Hi everyone, I NEED your help. I'm feeling very desperate right now!!!! I was sleeved on 6/3/2013 and have lost only 35 lbs since then. I saw on this website that people who were sleeved in June have lost almost double the amount I have lost. I don't know how to eat right. I'm eating small quantities of the same food I used to eat before surgery. I haven't changed my diet. I don't exercise. Plus I'm on some meds that make it difficult to loose weight. I'm doing EVERYTHING WRONG!!!!!! PLZ PLZ ADVISE ME HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT AGAIN!!!! I'm not loosing ANYMORE!!!!! I'm a vegetarian and have hard time finding Proteins. I'm eating way TOO MANY sweets!!!! I feel like I don't have control over myself anymore like before surgery. I'm hungry all the time or I skip meals. I'm also not following the Water rule and drink water right after I eat. Do I have to eat Protein at every meal?? PLZ ADVISE.......
  7. I love my vitafusion gummy vitamins. They r delicious. I take 4 instead of 2 because they r soooo tasty. No stuck issues. I also ordered vitafusion fiber n calcium gummies n can't wait to taste them.
  8. Thanks all for your suggestions! I went ahead and ordered me vitafusion calcium gummies and Fiber gummies from amazon.com. The reason I chose vitafusion over others is because I take their gummy Vitamins and they are delicious you people and I am not even a fan of gummies!!!!!!!!! I hope calcium and fiber gummies are as delicious as vitamins because when I ordered them they were expensive! Do u all count calories in your vitamins and calcium and fiber supplements because its going to cost me 100 calories for all of them!
  9. Hi all, I am looking for good tasting calcium supplement if anyone can recommend? I dont like chewable calcium and wondering if it comes in gummy bears or other styles?
  10. I bought a tub of pure protein powder vanilla from kroger and before I open it I want to see if anyone can tell me how it tastes? If u don't know how pure protein tastes please let me know which is the best protein powder out there? I'm desperately looking for good tasting, high protein, low carb and relatively inexpensive protein powder. Am I asking too much:-)
  11. Hi all, I had my surgery in June 2009 and I have lost 65lbs total. Slow weight loss until now but I'm at a plateu and can't lose weight with just band and exercise. Please give me ideas what should I do at this point to bump up my weight loss! I desperately want to lose another fourty pounds. Thanks in advance!
  12. OK, I lost 1.6lbs since starting the challenge. I will take it considering not watching my diet.
  13. I am in!!!!!!!!!! I want to lose 10lbs by christmas which I believe is 7wks away. Thanks.
  14. I did go on a new directions liquid diet for four weeks n lost ten lbs but after that plateau again! That's why I want to try this high Protein, low carb n low calorie diet for a while!
  15. Do you know this diet or is anyone here following this diet? I am planning to start on this diet next week and wanted your thoughts on it as I have stalled my weight loss after losing 62lbs. Seems like it's a well rounded good diet to me. thanx.
