I'm not sure my hair is falling out more or not. When you get older it just seems to do that anyway. My brush isn't any fuller than it use to be. I do know it's drier. I use to have to wash it every day or I could grease a car with it. I didn't wash it yesterday and this morning is still wasn't greasy. Had to wash it anyway because it's easier than than trying to fix the old mess.

Thickchick, whereabouts in Texas are you? I hope you have a lot of good luck with the Protein. What I've got I really like. Have you had a change in your hair in anyway. I've been reading that if it falls out it does come back.

Rosi-

Thanks for the kind words. Things are just the usually crazy now!!! LOL

Janine-

I love tofu! My mom used to make me tofu sandwhiches as a kid and although I don't eat it in bread anymore, it's still my favorite way to eat tofu! It's also a great recepie for the BBQ season!

Slice firm tofu and marinate overnight ina mixture half lite (and low sodium) soysauce and olive oil and add lots of garlic. You can then broil in your oven or cook on the grill. It's sooo yummy! Crispy on the outside! Enjoy

By the way, I mentioned that I had my first fill yesterday morning and was on a liquid diet. Can you beleive that I lost 1.5 lb in one day!?!?

I know that it was mostly b/c of the liquid diet but I'm glad to have started loosing again, I was so sad b/c I was stuck at the 25 lbs lost mark for weeks!!

I am the sme way, seems I can't get much down. I wasted so much food lately on our road trip. i am going out to get some protien drinks as well. Hope this will help to make the scale move as well. I feel I am hardly getting anything down but the scale doesn't show it???

I was to go for another fill today, I don't think so...... I changed it for 2 weeks, maybe by then things will have got better or I will know what to eat better? If not do you think we might need a defill???

Tia-

I'm coming from a place of love, you hear me?

Break out your blender and make chicken salad, ham salad or tuna salad. Make it wet and slick and take small bites.

Try meatloaf that's not too dry. Crab sticks are great, get some real crab too, you're not going to eat that much, you should buy the good stuff!

If you can eat dairy try some low fat yogurt, cottage cheese and other cheeses.

You need to be getting at least 800 calories of good nutritious food. And really, really, you should be eating your Protein, not drinking it because drinking it just goes through the band and you are doesn't keep you full.

But girl, drink that protein instead of nothing. You're going to hurt your hair, skin and bones if you don't get your nutrition in!

:hug: Juli

oh man, Thickchick, I've never had a PB and am dreading it. Just had my third fill and today is my first day with real food but I'm doing fine--no sign of a PB. Hope it continues, although I'd love to have some restriction! Patience!

Thickchick, I'm straight east of you in a little tiny town of Omaha, yes that's in Texas. It's just 50 miles from Arkansas.

Momlambert, we were banded on the same day. I'm filled at 2 cc with 2 fills. I too want to have some restruction. I only stop eating most of the time is by self will. I do know I need to get some exercise. I guess I should get up earlier in the morning and do because by evening it's too hot and I'm too tired. I know the weight would really move if I did.

Thick chick to funny.

Actually it sounds quite painful. Each time I have had a Pbing episode I start yelling to my DH do give me the hemlick maneuver'. He laughs and says what for, your breathing.

Oh, Mamalambert your lucky you have not had to deal with it yet.

I am wondering how many times it is going to happen until I learn.

Thanks for the tips on food Nikki and Lori.

The weight would really move???? You are doing GREAT. I'm so envious--you have lost almost twice what I have in the same amount of time and we started about the same BMI and the same age. Yikes! Good for you. My exercise is off and on--I am committed to it but I keep getting a bad cough from a viral infection I had last month so when it flares up (viral-induced asthma, apparently) I have to stop exercising for a few days. I was hoping I'd have restriction on the 4th fill, which will probably be around 2 cc but it sounds like that isn't yet enough for you. Well, we are all different and I'll keep hoping. Congrats on your success--that is awesome.

Ugh. I am too tight!

I was afraid this would happen. I know I needed a fill. But I didn't want this much of one. Hey, at least I can get Protein shakes down.

Yesterday I had half a cup of Soup for dinner. PB.

Today I had about four bites of beef stroganouf-- and not big bites either. Massive PB! And I mean massive. As soon as I thought it was over, it would start up again. AFter tons of slime and stuff came up I was foaming. Yuck! I tooks some papaya enzymes. I think those are helping. I starting hicuping for a bit after that. now I am burping. Burping is always a good sign.

I'm going to see if I can get in on Monday. And I'm going to ask to have half of my fill taken out or thereabouts unless the doc has a specific idea.

I've been dryer lately in general. I know why though-- its because I cut my estrogen dosage in half (its supplements my low hormone birth control). With the weight loss I have been having spotting and early periods, heavier ones, etc. So gyno said to cut it in half. I'll see how it is after a couple of months. It takes a while to adjust to hormonal changes.

I never washed my hair a whole lot. Now I oil the ends every night as well to help with dryness (I have long, very thick hair as well).

My tummy was talking to me before the fill-- it does this whole feed me seymore type thing. Well now its cursing me out (more slime). Ugh.

We are redoing our laundry room right now. This includes scraping off ugly old popcorn ceiling texture and stuff. So thats good for my upper body. And then I'll start spackling soon. DH is tiling the floor. Then we paint and put up shelves and put in the new machines!

And to think, this sunday I have to go to a dinner buffet. I think I'll to nibble on some fish.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
