kalimom, i have seen this statement a few times but i have no idea what it means, does "sits heavy" mean "im going to puke"? i mostly see it with respect to Pasta and rice and think is the sleeve a severe low carb diet for the rest of your life? at 7 mths out eating whatever you want is pretty impressive. i am thinking i will be terrified to eat for a bit. i had brain surgery a few years ago and eating made me throw up. i lost tons of weight because i was scared to eat, i think it was like 3 mths before i tried something other than canned fruit.< /p>

Great question' date=' I'm preop but I'm loading up on Protein now...locs falling out is not an option...hopefully someone can give us both some insight though.[/quote']

I am in the same boat. I loaded up on protein during my preop. I was sleeved on Monday June 3rd. I found in my research that as long as we get our proper amount of protein and Water, Hair loss should be minimal to nonexistent.

Sitting heavy means I can actually feel it sitting in my stomach sometimes it can cause nausea too but only if I eat too much of it. I don't do extreme low carbs it makes me cranky and I am half filipino I can't live without rice. I can eat pasta without issue but bread gives me the same feeling as rice unless it is toasted till crunchy.Eating what I want is of course relative to what I like to eat but I will try almost anything at least once.Spicy food makes me feel full very quickly and dense Protein I can only do a max of 3 ounces at one time.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
