I am a little over 3 months out and I am losing hair pretty quickly. My hair is long and blonde on the ends so I'm not sure if it's just breaking or thinning. Anyone have any suggestions or products they've used? It needs to stop

I had a great feeling today. I went for a walk with my parents in my neighborhood and I haven't really walked around the neighborhood in a long time. It brought back memories from over a year ago when I couldn't even walk one small flat block. Now I'm walking around multiple blocks and up and down hills. Without getting even a little out of breath. It was a great reminder of where I started and how far I've come.

Someone old me that might be scar tissue

Yeah I walk usually 1-3miles depending on how much time I have. Yeah I am not over packing. I am having my surgery done near monterray mexico. It's a 7 hour drive but I have a friend and 2 family members going with me. GOOD LUCK!!! Yeah I just hope it goes well too and not much pain I'm a baby I'd admit. My friend went with the same doctor and she told me she didnt feel pain just like she had a ball in her stomach.

I can only pray that I look that good after my surgery, awesome job!!

I think it feels so good to finally see ourselves losing that when we hit a stall it truly scares us and brings back that fear. I started my period yesterday, so now I know why I stalled and will just keep trucking! It has to come off eventually! Hang in there!

Having a hard time dealing with the weight gain after getting to my goal of 125... I had Gastric Sleeve on 10/18/2012 Starting weight was 235 and being only 5' 3" it was hard on my body. I decided to have the procedure done after seeing the fantastic results of my father in laws surgery ( he also had the gastric sleeve). I saw results right away and was very happy with how things were progressing. My husband at the time was totally against the surgery and did not even stay with me in the hospital. It was a bummer to say the least that I was so exited to finally feel good about myself and no one to share my success with. I finally reach my goal of 125 in just a few short months. By this time my husband and I had split up and of course he found someone else ( who of course was larger then myself). I was so sad and happy at the same time, I had the body I had been hoping for and my health was improved. A few months later my then ex- husband committed suicide and I fell into a very deep depression and my bad habits came back with a vengeance. I slept to much, didn't exercise and went right back to eating just like before surgery. As you would guess the weight started coming back and quite quickly. It has now been a few years and I've been trying to get back on track. I have lost about 30 lbs of the 80 I gained back and I see no reason to stop now.

My recommendation is stop any shakes and protein supplements and feed your body lean protein, a wide range of vegetables, small amounts of whole grains, and a little fruit. Whole Foods, no sweeteners. And drink tons of water only. No artificial or natural sweeteners. Give it a try. I think you will feel great and get results.

I haven't experienced dumping yet either. But that's because I am super careful about how much sugar or fat I eat in a serving. I did take a bite of something that was pure sugar and while I didn't dump, I felt bad for about 30 mins. I think you'd find if you ate a whole piece of cake or a bunch of fried chicken wings you would experience dumping. I don't think it happens with just a bite of something. I think I read somewhere that over 25 grams of sugar would cause dumping.

I like it with Greek yogurt and Splenda.
