Hello fellow August sleevers. I had my surgery 1 wk ago today! I am down 7 pounds since Tuesday. Just had my first cream Soup today, at least it was not broth. Does any one have any suggestions? I have been taking all my Vitamins (gummy multi- purpose, zinc, Biotin, and Vitamin e.) My girfriend had the surgery in March, she has had problems loosing her hair, she was with me on my journey and asked the doctor about it. She told her she needed to take zinc. I have had no real problem so far. I just drink slowly and take one pill at a time, but if any of you can suggest different liquids, I am on the usual stuff,

soup, popcicles, sugar free Jello, green tea, Water etc.

Thanks,

Congrats on your 1st week! Sounds like you are doing well. I had my surgery Aug 28. I'm taking Vitamins and Biotin but didn't know about zinc. How much zinc do you take? I'm afraid of the hair loss thing too. I lost 65 pounds back in 2005 and hair was getting thin. Since I tend to be thinner on top I use Rogaine so hope that works for this journey. I'm really trying to get my Protein but today was a little rough. Seems I'm losing weight too fast. Will be glad to move onto soft phase. I see my surgeon tomorrow. Best to you!
