    solid foods....not good

    I was like that for about 3 months after the operation eventually got it under control and have only been ill less than a handful of times. It eases and gets better

    Are protein shakes the answer

    Off to see my consultant this afternoon, hopefully I can get some help with the hair loss and general feelings of being run down. Feeling very fatigued to at the moment.and weight is plateauing even though I still have at least another 40 lbs to go
  3. I had a drink immediately after eating last week because I had a bad cough and needed to try soothe my throat, straight after that I was in the bathroom staring at the bottom of the toilet bowl!!
  4. I'd say go with what makes you feel happy in yourself. Have you had the one where they say you cheated by having the operation. I got that one last week from a lady who had lost 3 stone dieting on her own (she'd put it all back on mind and I was noticeably slimmer than her)
  5. Pre consultant appointment -4lbs Pre op diet-10 lbs Month 1 - 20.8 lbs Month 2 - 15.82 lbs Month 3 - 15.68 lbs Month 4 - 9 lbs Month 5 - 15 lbs Month 6 - 3 lbs Month 7 - 16 lbs 41 lbs to go fingers crossed
  6. I'm 7 months out and just look ridiculous with the amount of hair I've lost, my hairdresser even suggested I get a pixie crop last week and this may well be my only option. As I have an appointment on Monday with my surgeon I'm holding on to see whether I am missing something from my diet that may help. I discovered through research that I was not getting enough protein in me I need 100 grams to help me lose weight I'd be lucky if I was getting 20 grams so I have added protein shakes and so far today I have managed to get 64 grams of protein in. I also take zinc and biotin to strengthen the hair when it does grow. I know nothing I've told you will help with your hair loss but your not alone if that is of any comfort.

    Are protein shakes the answer

    I was doing herbal life shakes before the op to help lose the weight and had some left so I've got some to use up. Just been to holland and barratt and bought 2 huge tubs of whey protein at 78grams per 100 grams of powder shall try it and see if it makes any difference in the meantime I will buy a hat

    Are protein shakes the answer

    Do protein shakes count as a drink or food, I'm not worried about the calories of them because I don't eat enough calories too worry its the half hour between eating and drinking I'm concerned about. If its a drink then no wait time for a cuppa if its food I have to wait half an hour
  9. Hi I was sleeved 20/12/13 and have lost 107lbs so far. I'm stuck in a it of a rut weight loss wise at the moment and my hair is falling out badly! I worked out that I am probably only managing 10grams of protein a day. I do take a multi vit once a day. Any help tips or advice would be great
