My son who is home on leave for 2 weeks from the army is spending time with us. I know these 2 weeks we will be doing a lot of going out to eat with friends and family. So losing weight during this time is going to be a challenge. I will enjoy the next 2 weeks with him eat moderately make wise decisions. On the good note I had a pcp appt on tues and was taken off my HB pressure meds. I'm down 70lbs since Feb 2014. Have a great day!

I'm 4 months, and just this morning was shedding my hair after I washed it. Does anyone know how long losing hair last? -
I do, I helped with my dry mouth in the beginning. It will be 4 months on the 18th.

Regulated menstrual (tmi for some)
debknauss replied to sleeved215's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine pre surgery, I was sleeved Feb 18th 2014 had it in March, then nothing in April and May. I thought I might be menopausal, but no symptoms like hot flashes etc. It's probably all hormones. -
So envious! Amazing pics!

Menstrual cycle is messed up :(
debknauss replied to bellaaa_vita's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm totally off, was sleeved 2/18/14 had in March, nothing in April going on into May nothing yet. I'm older so I thought menopause, but no hot flashes yet. So I think hormones are messed up. -
Protein Powders/Drinks ?
debknauss replied to brookiebaby81's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like Ray Jobb strawberry, I got it on amazon. Unjury unflavored is ok if you mix it with something, this morning I mixed it with strawberry flavoring. My fav is still Ray Jobb strawberry! -

Help! I had a setback today and wonder how much I hurt myself.
debknauss replied to JulsOT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had 2 small pieces of angel food cake I made. 1 at lunch and dinner. I made it with lite cool whip and strawberries. It's been Feb since sleeved and we need to treat ourselves once in a while. I didn't over eat on Easter. Don't beat yourself up. -
Hate my protein shakes
debknauss replied to teachingkids2004's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just bought from amazon protein shake by Jay Robb, they are a little pricey but are very good. I got the strawberry and mixed it with unsweetened almond silk. I also have purchase a few different kinds and hated them. I also bought torani sugar free syrup peach and add it to unflavored protein mix or vanilla protein. I'm no expert it's all trial and see what works for me. Sleeved 2/18/14. Good luck. ???? -
When do you get more energy?
debknauss replied to slocin12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm the same way, was sleeved 2/18/14 lost about 32. I have no energy, so today I made an appointment to see a trainer, and get on a exercise program. I really never had any issues with food or feeling nauseous. I do have arthritis in my ankle so walking is painful. I never liked exercising I do enjoy biking. Hopefully the trainer will work with me on light weights and low impact workouts. I don't have any motivation I hope to change that! -
Losing pounds but not sizes
debknauss replied to Jaguilar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Feel the same, weight has dropped but not so much in clothing size. They do feel more loose which is good. At least I don't have to buy a lot if clothes at this point, i'll wear what I have for now. -
Eating and drinking "rules"
debknauss replied to gastricsleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
30/60 rule for me, but occasionally take a sip of water. But generally I follow the rule. -
Never heard of dirty mouth, I had really bad dry mouth. Maybe try chewing sugar free gum or mints. There's biotein and spray maybe that will help. I did sugar free ice pops. Good luck.

Any suggestions for a good breakfast cereal. I was sleeved 2/18/14 and want a new option besides oatmeal and eggs. I just had my drs appt 3/27/14 and lost a total of 32lbs. Anybody use carnation instant breakfast. I do have unflavored protein mix. I appreciate any suggestions, thx!

I have been having really bad dry mouth, I drink water, other fluids, rinse with biotein, I even ask dentist he was no help. I have water with me at bed and I wake up several times a night with dry mouth. Last night I put a humidifier next to my bed. I had the sleeve procedure 2/18/14. Other than dry mouth I'm doing great. My 6 wk check up with WL surgeon is 3/27 hope he might have some answer! Thx! Any advise would be appreciated!
