  1. My doctor was very similar. I've lost about 40 pounds since July 20. The weight is coming off slow but steady.

    Hair Loss

    My hair is falling out like crazy! Even more than it did before I had the surgery. I get about 60 grams of Protein a day. I also take Biotin and a prenatal Vitamin. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Day 2 Post Op..

    I'm just a few weeks post op and I can say it definitely gets better. For now I would walk whenever you can and sleep/ rest the other time. I stayed on my pain and nausea meds for almost five days!

    Discouraged

    I was banded on 7/19 as well and I have lost 18lbs and after my dr struggled to do my first fill he told me he wanted me to do better about losing weight. I was so shocked (not to mention in pain) that I just left. This is what I say....if you are losing and you feel good and you are eating healthy that's all that matters!

    Nausea 5 Days Post Op??

    Thanks! My dr actually only required clear liquids for 48 hours then I could do other liquids. I haven't been eating much (or drinking) much so maybe that is it. I had some hot apple cider after this post, slept a little more, and now I am drinking a protien shake and I feel ok. I have my follow-up appt. Thursday, I also have the magic nausea cream. Thanks again.
  11. Is it normal to still have nausea five days after surgery? Should I go back on clear liquids?

    Banded 7/19

    I know I am ready to move on to the next stage but I definitely don't want to rush it. Are you feeling super hungry?

    Hey Everyone

    Hello Emma! I was just banded 3 days ago. I am still on liquids as you can imagine. I have told some people but no one really understands my decision which is why I am here! Tamikia
