I woke up in the recovery room and shook my head. The nurse asked if I was in pain and I said yes. She gave me meds. Then I woke up in my room.

Hair Loss - A Harsh Reality. Picture of Loss.
mlowell replied to Madam Reverie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I thought I was losing a lot of hair but I'm not compared to yours. I'm so sorry. Are you taking biotin? And I've been also using a hair repair shampoo with keratin. I think Suave makes it. -
It sounds like everyone is doing good overall. I am 5 pounds out from when I was the smallest the last time about 12 years ago. Started in a 20 and into a 12 right now.

I feel ya. I'm a month ahead if you. Some days my head says to eat "junk" so I slip a little. Some days I can eat fine, other days I can't. I don't have advice other than we are gonna get through it but I feel like you do

That power crunch bar sounds good! Where do you get those?
-
I use my fitness pal. My doc didn't tell me to track either... I just do. Mainly started tracking for protein but obviously it does calories too.
-
I have been sticking to about 60g a day and 500-800 calories. Drinking my water... This last week I have been naughty because I started my cycle and was craving chocolate and salt. Over the past 3 weeks I have been bouncing between 170-173 pounds

Any nurses out there?

I took 3 weeks. Glad I did so I could get used to eating soft food before I went back. I work a busy Labor and Delivery unit -
I know how you feel. Craving salt and chocolate and made some bad choices this weekend. Starting straight today though.
-
My nut said if I have the shakes I can use them. But I wouldn't buy them again.... They are pricy and you can find a good alternative.

I love water and i cant stop drinking it
mlowell replied to donaboss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 months out and I struggle with water... Makes my stomach cramp and sits like a rock unless it's a cup full of ice with a little amount of water. -
almost 3 months out. just found out I have a kidney stone. anyone less
mlowell replied to nonfat22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If your not having pain from the stone they usually aren't a big deal and docs don't do anything..... Unless it actually becomes painful. -
