    How much are you eating?

    I'm a month out now, and my daily routine is typically this: - Protein shake in morning (30g protein) - 32 oz. water between 8-11am - Cheese stick & protein shake for lunch (37g protein); sometimes 8-10 almonds if I want to chew on something - 32 oz. water between 12-4pm - Small "meal" for dinner, usually 2 to 4 oz. meat or eggs - 16-20oz. water or Crystal Light in the evening, sometimes some sugar-free Jello or pudding too I aim to total out around 80g protein and 500-600 calories.

    Just a little vent!

    I, too, scheduled my appointments from the very beginning and sent calendar appointments to my boss' calendar. I wasn't having it. I refuse to start all over. I know you were frustrated. I don't blame you. My last appointment is August 18th. I'm going to be there with bells on. [emoji57]

    Gained 2 pounds!!

    What was your starting weight? Weight loss with a sleeve doesn't occur in a predictable, linear pattern. Most of us didn't post losses daily, so weighing oneself every day can be futile and pointless. With a sleeve we lose some weight, then hold onto some weight, then may stall and plateau on occasion, and may even regain a few water weight pounds before dropping more weight. The only super-rapid losers tend to be males, super-obese people with a BMI greater than 50, and young people in their teens and 20s. Most people don't lose 30+ pounds a month like a house on fire. Realistic expectations are important. Good luck to you.

    Eating More @ 7 months out

    breakfast sandwich? processed food. lasagna? heavy carbs and gluten. sloppy joe? bread and added sugars. your issue is not quantity but quality. none of what you just listed is healthy. make better food choices and THEN let your appetite guide you. right now, the foods you are eating are not nutritionally dense, so your body is not satisfied, and therefore driving you to eat more. slippery slope you are on. correct it while it's still early.

    Acid reflux

    Omeprazole works well to help prevent acid, Tums works well to deal with acid when you already have it. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Good luck!

    Im freaking out !!!

    There was a research study that peppermint oil was as effective as minoxidil (rogaine) for hair regrowth and more effective at stimulating the growth phase. Hair follicles changes phase every three months from active to resting. You can make a spray with 10 drops of essential peppermint oil with a carrier oil such as almond, jojoba, coconut etc and massage it in, leave in overnight and wash out or add it to leave-in conditioner. I am going to start using this now, three months before surgery. It can't hurt at any rate.

    Vitamins

    You can see more info on them at the BariatricPal store or PatchMD.com They're basically a 1-inch square patch that you wear for 8 hours a day, and it's absorbed directly into your bloodstream instead of going through your digestive track. You absorb more of the vitamins as well. I've had 2 rounds of blood work done since wearing them (getting another done tomorrow, actually) and have had no issues.
