    I'm losing my hair!

    Same here...it's so depressing!!! Doctor says it will stop once you stabilize your weight. I'm doing biotin...he said that doesn't help m
  2. Don't be discouraged. Everyone is different and each doctors plan is different. I lost 120 pounds in 7 months...10 more to goal, so you will be fine.
  3. I will post pics soon. Just need to buy some new clothes. Lol.
  4. Congrats!! You look amazing.
  5. I wake up in a panic and think I've cheated.
  6. Have a friend who had the sleeve 2 weeks after me. He went to a different doctor and has a different plan. He is doing horrible...drinking...eating McDonalds, etc. he also stopped going for his checkups then he sees me - down 120 pounds in 7 months and keeps telling me I am losing to quickly...not eating enough...not healthy, etc. really getting annoying and I want to tell him off but he's my customer and I can't. Lol!! Some people think this is an instant cure and it's far from that. It's hard work.
  7. Glad I am not alone. In my dreams I'm actually like hey I had the sleeve done I can't eat this. Lol!!! I have this dream constantly.

    Dizzy

    I am 7 months out and get dizzy every time I get up. Doctor thinks I'm dehydrated. Went for blood work in Friday. It's getting worse.

    I Can't Wait To Not Have To...

    I fly a lot for work and the best feeling was not having to ask for a seat belt extender and actually have so much room now in the seats and seatbelt is swimming on me. Lol. I also used to only fly business or first class because the seats are bigger. Love seating coach now!!! Lol
  11. EAS chocolate fudge is the best. The only protein shake I actually look forward to.

    Damn you, pasta!

    I will have to try it. I usually just steam my cauliflower.

    What you wish you knew before the sleeve

    I am in sales and travel all over the world...part of my job is taking clients out to eat. I am 7 months out and have done great when eating out. The only issue I have is that I don't eat as slow as I do when I am Home...it's something we can't avoid (socializing) so don't avoid it. Believe me...I have lost 120 pounds in 7 months eating out 2 or 3 times a week.

    Damn you, pasta!

    What is cauliflower rice? That sounds interesting. I'm sure you will be fine...pasta is very filling ,

    Lightheaded?

    I am 7 months post op and I have been getting dizzy all the time now. They actually want me to eat more...if you can believe it and drink more liquids.
  16. I know...I just wanted to wait till I reached my goal weight...but have bought new foods this weekend and will try.
  17. I bought the 100 calorie pack almonds yesterday...but havent had them yet. love the Greek yogurt. Thanks for the advice.
  18. My doctors plan seems to be very different and restrictive compared to others I have spoken to. I have 2 protein shakes, 1 snack and1 meal a day. I work out everyday. I just wish I did the liquid before because I would have probably been at goal weight now. Lol

    Advice please :)

    Your doing fine. You don't want to eat a lot right after surgery.
  20. They want me to eat more but so afraid to try anything...
  21. I didn't have to do a pre op liquid diet... Kind of wish I did now, but I'm not complaining. Down 120 pounds in 7 months.
  22. My doctor's plan is so restrictive. I wish that there was a standard plan for everyone. I'm down 120 in 7 months. 10 pounds till goal weight of 135...so I don't think the jello will hurt me but so afraid. Will check with my doctor. Thanks you.
  23. Same problem here,,,my doctor has me taking clear Metamucil everyday...not that it helps much. He also gave me a stool softener...I suggest you ask for that.

    I am not losing weight

    Try not to weigh yourself. I only weighed myself on my doctor check ups. Now that I am close to maintenance, I have to weigh myself once a week at home to monitor how I am doing. I felt that way in the beginning... Then it comes off. How are you feeling otherwise?

    I am not losing weight
