I'm doing great Megs! Welcome Alisha! We have a great group of Okie's......Megs' date=' I finally found a Protein drink I can drink. I was so excited. I have spent a ton of money trying to find something. I tried the Premier Protein from Sam's and to me, it just tastes like chocolate milk. I was scared to death that I would be bald headed in about 4 months because of not getting my Protein. Hope things are going good with everyone!![/quote']

Oh honey... You have not even started loosing hair yet. It's ridiculous and annoying. It doesn't matter if you get all of your protein in or not... It's gonna go. Get and start taking bioten now and maybe it will not be as bad

Well pooh!! I have already lost a ton because of my thyroid. It makes me nervous as heck to think about loosing more. I have heard conflicting reviews on the bioten. Do you really thinks it helps?

On the Premier Protein you might check Amazon too you can get it as an add on item for I think takes a while to ship but I think it comes out a little cheaper if you buy ahead for later on... I have been getting samples of different things to try to find what I think will work for me haven't tried those yet.... I'm pre op and it looks like I'm gonna be on the list for late may/ early June

Lisa at Dr Kirks office told me to start taking it. I was already doing that so she was ok with it.

Hello all!

I live in okc. 27 F. heaviest weight 329 lbs' date=' surgery weight 282 lbs. Was sleeved this morning (10/23/12) with Dr. Broussard in Edmond. Love the entire program, surgeon, etc. So happy I did it & it's finally over with. Best decision I've made for myself-maybe ever. Good luck to all & I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Also...since we are all in OK area....I'd love to have a clothes trade or sell etc as we are all starting at different sizes. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks! Take care.

Hi Kimmy! Everything is great. I've lost about 32 pounds. Recovery was fairly easy. It's been 4 weeks now and I feel great. How are you doing?

Great job!! No, I haven't had mine yet. I'm still doing my 6 month supervised diet that's required by my insurance. I've had some of my testing done already...I do my sleep study Friday. I get more excited and more anxious every day:)

Good luck with everything, Kimmy. The sleep study is NOT fun, but tolerable. You will just go home and go to sleep. Your six months will be up before you know it. Hang in there..... :)

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
