    Why Do We Lose Our Hair?

    Swimmer replied to ooffa511's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Mine started really falling out at three months. I don't like it at all and wish it would stop, but I'm still so happy with the weight loss and I thankfully have thick hair and a lot of it. I started taking biotin months before surgery, but admit I don't always get my protein in.

    Help......is This Normal?

    Swimmer replied to xelapaul's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I agree with Polly, it sounds like acids reflux. You may nerf to take your ppi twice a day and try tums too. Good luck.

    The Pounds Are Falling Off!

    Swimmer replied to ashleystanley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    That's incredible. I'm two months further out and just hitting 50. I drop 10 or 12 then stall forever though. Way to go. Also I'm in the 180's and can't wear xls.

    Pain

    Swimmer replied to suthern_girl2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Could you try a maternity belt to take some pressure off or compression shorts? Feel better.

    Ate To Fast?

    Swimmer replied to urbandecayno5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Yes, you ate either too fast or too much. I've done it and hate the feeling so much. I need to chew better too.

    Too Much

    Swimmer replied to NewLifeNow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    That's more than I can eat at three months out. But I still had a little pain at your point. Hope you are healing well.

    Post Op Mood Swings

    Swimmer replied to mamacorney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It will get better. You are probably just very focused on yourself and the changes you are going through, probably for the first time in your life. People who haven't gone through this don't understand. Give yourself a chance and keep focused. Your moods will improve as you learn to handle the changes. Hang in there.

    I'm only three months out, but we had company last night. I don't eat much but nobody noticed. It's very normal. People don't really care and I just chat more and enjoy the company. I was shocked so early out things can feel so normal on tiny portions.

    I Finally Have A Date!

    Swimmer replied to Shani77's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Congrats best wishes!

    I don't have that, but a smaller one that got infected looks wonky. It's darker and bigger than the other scars.

    I'm so thankful for this site. Sending prayers back to you too. Enjoy the journey.

    Fly Fly Fly Away!

    Good luck, welcome to the bench! Enjoy the journey.

    Totally normal feelings. The mental part is very hard. It's a huge change. I agree with how important the pre op diet is and remember what you lose now is gone forever. You can do this don't forget how bad you wanted this in the first place.

    Bread, celery, salads and coconut.

    Confused With Post Op Diet

    Swimmer replied to urbandecayno5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was on full liquids when I got home from the hospital. That was two weeks then two on pureed.

    I loved refried beans at this stage. Can you have oatmeal?
