Better get your protien or your gonna loose your hair! I know because i am 4 months out down 60lbs but my hair had been falling out by the handfuls i can see bare scalp. I knew better but not hungry and when i do eat enough protien no room left for Water. I have also added Biotin with keratin Vitamin. Good luck. Im struggling but not giving up.

Im hoping to be released for all foods tomarrow at 2 month post op. i have lost 40 lbs 10 inches on my waist alone... Good luck to you. Be ready it will make it so much easier ...

I had surgery march 6 And stopped my nsaid (voltarin) 1 week before surgery i was unable to walk much do to knee pain. I had been on this medication for more than 10 years. I was told about a topical pain med pensaid it helps alot rub it on knees 4 times a day so between this and 40 lbs lost i am moving. Now doing Water exercise very helpful. I was told no more nsaids ever..... Sent from my iPhone using VST

My Dr said no chunks said to strain. I heard that it is possible to get stuff caught in staple line. Be careful. Creamy Soups r good but strain also. Sent from my iPhone using VST
