My nutritionist said I need more protein, But how much can I possibly eat? I had the lab band in 2009 and didnt have this much hair loss. Since the sleeve almost 4 mos ago its been non stop as of last month.

When is it going to end? I had my surgery 4 mos ago and the 3mos hit and it just is all over, I shower I feel like I can make a wig with what has been falling out. I don't know what I should do? HELP!!!

My surgery was November 28 down 31lbs. I feel good so far except for days where I feel really weak and always feel like I am starving. Other than that, I am happy with my progress.

I too have had this and I am 5 weeks out. Drinking fluid helps but it seems like it comes back within the hour. I always feel like I am hungry, instead of eating food I will tr an ice pop or a sugar free fudge pop.

Sannah, I know exactly how you feel, i was sleeved Nov 28 and I have a 14mo old and felt so helpless! All he wanted was for me to do everything with him, I felt so guilty. But now my Dr. cleared me and I can pick him up, cuddle and play with him. It's all worth it. So far i have lost 25lbs since my surgery. Good luck!!!

At my 1 month Check up, my Doc said I was cleared to have a glass of wine when I wanted. So I guess it depends on your surgeon.

Thank you Connie, I just feel sometimes I just might not get to where I want to be.

GIGi3 I was cracking up on your we fatties line....I too miss my glass of wine every now and then. I am only 2 weeks out, my surgeon allows 1 glass every so often. I would advise you double check with your surgeon. I wouldn't abuse the every so often, don't forget the stomach lining is not as thick as before. Also if your still taking the antacids be careful!!

Amazon13 I dont eat cottage cheese, but I did have pureed tuna and chili, thanks for the recommendation!!

I have had pureed chicken with gravy, but I dont eat prawns. I did have some smashed shrimp in a white wine lemon sauce, about 2 shrimp .

softwsolu1 I have not made that yet and have everything but the cheese. Tomorrow I am making pizza for the Husband and kids and I am gonna make the Ricotta. I will let you know how it was, I heard nothing but rave reviews about it.

Lorraine, What is Muller Rice? I dont eat custard either, very picky eater. EBUCKS, I was able to et eggs, mashed potatoes with low fat gravy and Beans. Now I dont know what else to eat?

Weight...lol

Is it? I have had soups and vegetables have been so soft they are mush when I eat it. I have had mashed potatoes, beans and Eggs. I don't know what else to eat? I am getting bored with the food. Thursday I start soft foods, so maybe it will get better. I will start in the morning at one wait then by the time bedtime comes it goes up by 1lb. I do 3 protein shakes a day too and lots of fluids. Is this normal?
