My surgeon suggested taking Biotin if I was experiencing Hair loss. Good luck!!!

Hmmm...idk I get that feeling with one bite. So I don't think I'm full with one bite. I see my surgeon Thursday for my one month post op appt. I will see what she has to say and fill you in with the info I receive.

Has anyone gotten stomach pain while eating?

Everytime I eat I get stomach pains and growling while I eat. It goes away after 2 mins. Then I have another bite and again it repeats.

Too be honest I don't know if I had a second surgeon and if I did I don't know the name. :-X

Who did your procedure? I had doctor Chau who is located in princeton nj

Dr.Lisa Dobruskin in Hamilton. Love her!

I'm in Princeton not too far from Trenton. Where's Ocean County?

I'll hang out with you!! Lol. But I'm pre surgery (still fat) if you don't mind!! Lol. I have the same fear but really it is what it is. You love me how I am' date=' far or skinny. If you leave, it's for shear jealousy!![/quote']

Lol! To me it isn't about the size. Its about the friendship that matters. Just wish my old friends would of thought the same!.

Michelle I am in Princeton, NJ. where in SJ are you?

I am begining to lose girl friends because of my weight loss, they don't even know about the surgery they think I am on a diet and working out (didn't feel too comfortable telling them). They always want to go out and eat and I always give an excuse bc I cant go out and eat yet and their response is "I forgot your skinny mini now". It makes me so upset. All my family is in NYC and I'm out here in Jersey and now I have no one to hang out with. I guess I learned who my real friends are.

Yesterday I made refried Beans with some ff cheese and also made tuna (pureed) to bring into work today. So I had my refried beans and very little of tuna just to try it and five minutes later I got this horrible lower back pain. I dont know if it was gas or what it was but it didnt go away for about two hours. Now I am scared to eat. I have been having baby food and I was fine. Has this happened to anyone?

Ugh. This is such horrible pain :-(

Ate my purees a little of refried Beans and tuna. As soon as I was done I got this horrible pain in my back. Its been thirty minutes now and won't go away :-( help!!!!!

I completely understand what your saying! I am going through the same. I haven't had that "full" feeling yet. And I keep wondering "did they remove an enough amount of my stomach?". I also want to feel that full feeling where my body tells me "that's it your done for this meal". I am thinking I haven't got that feeling because I am only in my puree stage. My biggest fear is stretching my stomach. Hang in there. Hopefully things will get better!

Have you gotten to the point where you feel full? I haven't yet but, then again I have been mostly having broth.

I think I am so paranoid of stretching my stomach.

So I started my 3rd Week (Purees) yesterday and I am wondering what everyone else is eating and how many times a day are you eating. Also, how many Protein Drinks a day?

I have been enjoying my homemade Soup broths that I kind of don't want to let go of having soup. But, I also noticed I am starting to get hungry.

Can I get some input please.

I was sleeved on July 17th and as soon as I woke up in the recovery room all I could do was cry and ask myself why did I put myself through this. Trust me its the pain talking. Today I feel so happy I did this surgery. I am 32lbs down! If I didn't do the surgery I would still be feeling sad with my 274lbs. Please hang in there. It does get better! Hope you two feel better soon!

It was lack of Vitamins. I started to take B12 and feeling so much better.

I started purees yesterday. I bought baby food (stage 1) not feeling full yet, but not feeling hungry either. I'm just very scared of stretching my stomach after all this hard work. I am also drinking my Protein drinks again (yuck!). Lol. Btw I am down two pounds!!!

Also, how do you know when your full? I have been having broth and haven't felt the feeling of being ”full”. I stop after my 7th sip bc I'm scared of stretching my stomach. could you please give me some feedback on this.

Ok. I am definitely going to start my Protein drinks again. Thanks ladies!

So I am getting a little disappointed here. I'm exactly 2 weeks post- op and have lost 10lbs. When I did the liquid diet pre-op I lost 16. Has this happened to anyone? Also, I can't stand Protein Drinks anymore- I am basically not taking in any Protein. Can this be a reason why I am not losing more weight?

It only occurs at night time when I'm laying down. I think I'll def call my Dr. tomorrow. I hope it isn't something bad. My biggest fear is blood clots.
