Had a fail with supper tonight. Cottage cheese and half a turkey sausage, which ive eaten many many times. Instantly got the foamies, which I HATE and up it came! The only thing about the foamies is that when I get it, it wont stop until I vomit. So instead of waiting for it to go away, I just vomit so I can feel better!

I had an off day today. First of all, I weigh on Monday mornings and only lost 1/2 lb this past week. Worst week yet. :-( Had to report for jury duty and ended up being chosen as a juror....so all I had to eat was my yogurt this morning.....then at the courthouse a tiny bag of pretzels and a cookie. Cafeteria was cash only...I was not prepared at all. I thought they would send me home but that didn't happen. Guess I better pack me a healthy lunch for tomorrow. Maybe I will take advantage of the hour lunch and walk around downtown.

Never had the foamies. I finally tried the cedar plank Jamaican salmon at our favorite restaurant which has a fiery brown sugar glaze. Haven't tried salmon or this glaze since surgery and omg its f'en good as usual. I thought I might dump on it but there really isn't enough sugar on it to do it.

Ugh! Hate that feeling!

Thanks. I'm so discouraged cause I have never gained weight since the surg. I hope I can kick this stress & anxiety. I think I really got upset about the gain and also still not knowing if we will be moving. I'm ready to just say F the job..if its lay offs it's lay offs. I have wanted to go to school and I will just use that as a opportunity. I've never had to force myself to eat before. It's scary how anxious I've been today. I hope u don't have to go through the hair loss. I've religiously taken my biotin' date=' my vits, and got my protein in..it's just gonna do what it's gonna do. Ugh I hate feeling

Like this![/quote']

I have been losing my hair like crazy to I also gain weight to I have been so stressed out getting 7 kids back in school but hopefully everything will get better

BethAnn, I checked into my favorite site, google, and found this. Thought it was good and so I am sharing. Hope it helps. I am not having this problem yet but I guess it is common between 3 and 6 months so it could happen yet. :(

Fantastic article Dorian! Thanks for posting the link! Hahaha...it made me giggle a little when i read the part where he said that hair loss is a wls complication. I think i will look into adding some zinc to my diet. I guess 3 surgery's in 3 months was quite a shock on my system...along with the little bit of weight loss :(...still hanging in there though.

I've only lost 5 pounds this month. I feel like my surgery is failing me.... I've tried upping my calories, lowering my calories, exercising more/less. I am 3 pounds away from being under 200 and I just can't seem to get there. I'm coming up on 4 months post-op and I just feel like I should be further along, there is no way I will make goal by 6 months, ugh. Just a little frustrating, I suppose, maybe I should blame it on the altitude here, lol.

What us your 6 month goal? There is no way I would get to goal weight in 6 months. I am hoping for about 10 lbs per month at this point....after the initial weight loss.
