I have had natural hair for over 10 years. I experienced moderate loss and increased breakage. I am a year out and although my hair had thinned out it is coming back in nicely. I recommend finding a good moisturizer.

What I miss most
Derouin4 replied to Stephanie Stroup McIntosh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ate them around 6 to 8 weeks out. -
I was 32 when sleeved. I personally would not have had this surgery at 22, because I don't feel that I was responsible enough to maintain compliance. To be honest it has been one hell of a battle to stay on track. In all it is ABSOLUTELY worth it, and if you know you are ready...GO FOR IT!

What do you order when you go out to eat with your family?
Derouin4 replied to S(he) be(lie)ve(d)'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If I order anything it is a small cup of soup. I have 2 small boys, and if I absolutely need a bite of something they generally will share with me. I ordered food once or twice, and found that I still am highly likely to overeat when a massive plate of food is put in front of me, so I pass. -

I finally hit a "magic" number
Derouin4 replied to Roo101769's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's really great to hear stories of success while on this journey. I really thought I was ready for this, but I am tested emotionally/psychologically daily. This is harder than I ever imagined, but if I had to do it again I would. -

I am 4 months out and asked the doctor for something to help stabilize my mood, b/c I know it isn't fair to my family how up and down my mood is. This is when I started my relationship with Prozac...I love it.

I LOVED sushi pre sleeve, but have only managed to get 2 bites down since the . I still go out with friends for sushi but settle on a small bowl of miso Soup and edamame.

I recently upped my exercise to 40 minutes on the elliptical 5 times per week, followed by 20 minutes of light weights, as well as walking 30 minutes of brisk walking throughout the day while at work. The problem is I am so exhausted that I fall asleep at my desk. I upped my intake to about 1000 calories per day and my weight teeter totters btwn 2 lbs. I feel like I am going nowhere fast. What are some of your exercise regimens and what does you r intake look like?

Trouble swallowing pills?
Derouin4 replied to GingerSlim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 2 months out and don't swallow any pill whole. I crushed my bp meds until I was 4 weeks out, and now I break it up in 1/4. I also open capsules. -
Stomach sleepers...
Derouin4 replied to nursejenny07's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One week out I was comfortable on my side and by 2 1/2 weeks out I was on my stomach.
