  1. So I have been totally expecting my first stall and I think it is finally here. Was just wondering if anyone could tell me how long their stalls lasted and if they did anything to kick yourself out of it? Thanks!

    Tums on a Plane...

    Not 100% sure but when I went to Mexico for surgery I brought jello packs on the plane they werent gonna let me but I said please this is all I can eat I am going for surgery and they said ok. So if all else fails you can try that. Good luck!

    Antibiotics

    Can anyone please tell me if it is ok to take antibiotics following surgery? I was sleeved on Jan 9th.
  6. I am very nervous of this as well as I have really thin hair and a bald spot already from when I was a kid. I started taking biotin before surgery and continue with that as well as silica and just recently started to use nioxin hair products. Was sleeved a few weeks ago and know its early but gonna try my best to minimize the hair loss before it starts, but I have to accept its the price I may have to pay in exchange for the weight loss. Fingers crossed for everybody as I find this almost the scariest part of having the surgery.

    Pre Surgery tests

    I would say after a week you would probably be good! I personally got my energy back and felt way better after a week and I was able to go clear fluids to full fluids.
  8. For protein intake I am mixing the nectar fuzzy navel flavour with a ready to go protein drink like isopure (couldn't find the isopure here) it watermelon flavoured and has 42g of protein it. So I mix a scoop of the peach nectar which is 23g and half a otter of the watermelon so half is like 21g of protein. Been mixing it then adding a lite bit f water and ice and it literally tastes like Tang!

    Pre Surgery tests

    Think it would be ok, haha! Oops missed that party. Just remember everyone heals differently so maybe be prepared to take more time off if it is needed. Good luck with everything!

    Pre Surgery tests

    I am only about 2 1/2 weeks out but the only tests I had were a blood test and an EKG. That's it but I think it depends on the doctor. As for going back to work I think it would depend what time of work you are doing. I would definitely be avoiding heavy lifting etc.

    8 pound post-op

    I was sleeved on the 9th and lost the same amount in my first when I went to full fluids it didnt seem like the weight was coming off, it was staying the same. So I feeling a little frustrated but I weighed myself yesterday and its starting to go down again! 8lbs towards your goal keep it up! Thats great!
