I haven't checked in the hair thing, but I need to. I have a full head of hair and would like to keep it like that to be quite honest... I did the Gas-x, but not for the gas from the surgery (what they blow you up with) . I had a lot of gas inside of stomach, which I used the Gas-x for.

Maybe you can establish a whole new schedule with your new stomach... You won't get your Protein in if you wait until 2PM to start on it.

Sounds like you are all beat up... LOL

Yep look into that. Don't want a Kojack! Lol. 10,000 mg a day. Start it now. I lost a bunch after my elbow surgery. Took a tool on my hair and it's thin to begin with.

Your right about the Protein. I'm workin on it ????

Also ya that's what I mean the gas ex for. I know they blow ya up with all that air and it gets trapped ????

Hi Clad and everyone! All of this talk about Protein Shakes, I had to go try the LiquaCel sample I got...it was clear and I mixed it with a little Water. It was very sweet but tolerable. Not thick or chalky. I had the grape flavor. They sell it at Target too. Has anyone tried any other flavors of Liquacel?

You can mix them with milk also. I actually use Fairlife, as it has more Protein than regular milk. Obviously you wanted do that with the fruit ones.

if you go on the website for gasp you can join and meet with people. unfortunatly i live in md and its too much of a drive to go except for the convention. it is a lot of fun 3 days of nothing but games and geeky people of all kinds. if you like d&d or any other table top rpg there are loads of people to play with

      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? 🤷‍♀️
