Just got home too. I had somewhat of a meltdown. I got really emotional when I got hone and weighed myself. I was up 5 lbs and just felt post-partum like. It was really strange. Thank God for my amazing and supportive boyfriend. He talked me through it. Also, thankful to this board for the advice.

That is probably just because you have all the fluids in you from the IV at the hospital. Takes a few days for that to work its way out sometimes!

Glad you are home safe!

Good luck to all of those with upcoming surgeries!

I am home from Mexico & in my home now. Nice to be with family now, but miss my Dr & his team, they were awesome!

I had my surgery in Mexico with Dr Garcia on 5/7 and have been following your posts. I have a question for you.....How do I contact you on this board personally?

Hi carol, if you wanted to send me a PM you should be able to hover your mouse over my name & then one of the options should be to send a message. If that doesn't work you can always e-mail me at NJsharon@hotmail.com.

glad you liked the drink ideas....i got this fron unjury today to...for all of you who have been told 60 grams is enuf...it isnt....there are several site that give you a formula to figure what u need by height.....this is what they said about the hair loss...

"Boy was I wrong!" (Hair Loss)

We regularly hear from customers asking about Hair loss.

What causes hair loss?

For bariatric patients, especially patients with past surgery, our first suspect is Not Enough Protein.

One reason we are confident about this is that when we talk with patients and they increase their Protein intake, the problem is generally resolved.

So this email from a customer is not unusual:

"I went off my Unjury and tried to live free and easy this summer...I am not doing that again! I have been gassy and bloated and I’m starting to lose my hair. It’s just not worth it (going off UNJURY)! I really thought I was getting enough protein from food, boy was I wrong. I am going back on UNJURY and never stopping again! I love this stuff!"

The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery White Paper observes that over time, protein deficiency can cause a list of problems that includes hair loss.

For patients with hair loss any time more than 6 months after surgery, a recent article by two bariatric physicians and a dietitian recommendations:

80 grams (high quality) protein for Women per day

100 grams (high quality) protein for Men per day

Ok I am home now and starting my clear fluids for a few days and I tell you the best thing ever is chicken broth from the Chinese restaurant it's going to save me. I am not hungry but it will help me get my fluids in. I know it's salty but hell its good! I can drink Water and Protein drink

My problem is I caught pneumonia and have to take meds which I crush and dr said add to apple sauce but not alot. And it's nasty bitter so 4 more days of that.

I do feel a weird sensation after drinking something like I feel the liquids. I am not hungry and I have been feedin my kids so far I am not even wanting it

One inscisin area hurts but others are fine ....

Hope all others are doing good

      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
