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. This is now my life forever. Sent from my iPhone using VST

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
