Hi Ladies, I know we all have been experiencing hair loss, but has anyone gotten hair extensions? Hair loss has slowed down but still losing a bit I'm looking into the tape extensions. http://www.ramijabali.com/hair-extensions-magic Here's another link: http://www.stellaluca.com/hair-extensions-frequently-asked-questions Anyone have any experience? I'm not looking into the glue ones because read about it and when you get them off, your hair is pulled out with it as well. My hair has always been thin and now even thinner and I fill it in with Toppik but it's still not enough. Any feedback/advice/suggestions would be aprreciated

I'm T1 on an insulin pump and got sleeved about 2 years ago. Was good for about a year, lost quite a bit and had energy and then my fibro got really bad and stopped working out, started eating crap again so gained a bit back. Started a keto diet a couple of weeks ago and that's helping, but I've cut down on my insulin quite a bit but still taking glucophage. I guess the sleeve is still good bc it limits how much i can eat otherwise would have gained more back. When i went for surgery though had to get off the pump and they didn't know how to control my bs so i was a mess (went to TJ for my surgery).

I've fallen off the bandwagon...mostly due to stress which caused my fibromylgia to flare up more so haven't been able to go to the gym. Went for yoga last week and was sore for 3 days Protein doesn't keep my full anymore...I've stopped drinking the shakes b/c they were filling but not anymore. Anyone post op a couple of years share their daily menu of food. I need to start counting calories again and fix myself, i know and please no judging....It's difficult for me to even get out of bed and go to work :*( was so good last year going to the gym a few times, and almost had gotten to my goal weight *sigh* any advice would be greatly appreciated. and I dont have a dietitian or nutritionst that i can go to bc i dont live in the US anymore...will be going there in the summer time, but for now, need to get back on track. thanks

I did a search here and everyone complains about gas right after surgery. I want to ask about gas a couple of months out after surgery. What do you do? Luckily I live alone so that's not an issue...but what will I do when I start work?! It's gross. And this is TMI but it's like all day!! Never happened before the surgery, and now it's like I can participate in a farting competition Any suggestions?! Please help :S

Help! so I've put on some weight and going back to Protein shakes and the basics that I was doing before but protein shakes don't keep me full! What do you guys add to it? I've been using Protein Powder, milk, handful of spinach, 4 frozen strawberries, and 1 tbsp of benefiber and I'm really hungry within 2 hours! usually I have cottage cheese with berries and a few walnuts, but wanted to go back to shakes because of more protein. Any suggestions?

I had mine out like 9 years ago and had no problems

See a rheumatologist. I've had pain as well but blood work came back fine so it wasn't a Vitamin deficiency. Turned out to be muscle spasms and getting physical therapy.

Any suggestions on how I can use this? It's disgusting when I mixed into food...made a shake and same thing

how much water do you all use and how much protein when you make fuzzy navel? i put a scoop in with my yogurt but want to try drinking it with water, don't want to waste it by experimenting either lol

I miss using GENEPRO, I ran out and don't have access to it here. I bought Quest unflavored and it's disgusting, so is Syntrax matrix unflavored. I'm going to repurchase when I head back to the states, it mixes easily in my food (esp cottage cheese), and couldn't taste it. If you are going to buy unflavored, stick to Genepro.

I bought the unflavored/multi purpose one and it's disgusting. I haven't baked with it though. But tried to add to food, and had to throw it in the bin,

vitamin shoppe online, 1 box is $25

yeah mine was super high right after surgery and then slowly went back to normal. your body went through a surgery, it's going to be crazy for a little bit.

genepro mixed in food can't taste it....quest unflavored i cant mix in with food (it was repulsive and chalky) but in a shake is fine

How would you explain the scars? Mine are still quite dark and the ones from my gallbladder removal like 8 years ago are still there but aren't like dk purple/bruisey colored

Hi Im Type 1 on a pump as well and I can tell you I'm still on my pump and still taking metformin. I stopped taking victoza. Sure, I'm taking less insulin but you can't get rid of T1 diabetes.

awesome, thanks everyone! excited to make dinner for 1 now lol

I don't cook so need something super easy that i can throw on the griddle....I have bought rubs and they are okay. Any easy recipes for chicken that I can just grill? Thanks!

def more clothes! and im buying colors, bright ones! otherwise i'd live in black or navy blue. buying more skirts as well is great. it's becoming an exp habit now because all i want to do is shop and love how i can fit into a S or a M

story of my life!!! I used to get asked if i was preggers all the time as well bc i have the same body shape...i would cry whenever someone would ask me. I started telling people "no im fat" and they would get so embarassed...people have no shame! I didn't have to do a pre surgery diet either bc weight was low so they didn't require it.

I had VSG done w/ Dr. Corvala last year in July. Any questions, feel free to ask def recommend it and him as well. Hospital was amazing and so were the nurses. I've never had such good care in my life (been to going to doctors since I was a kid). Very impressed

Yes, I had a BMI of 32 and got it done. I haven't lost it as fast as others because of other health issues as well (diabetic, PCOS) but cut my insulin in half which I think has helped lose the weight. It's taking me a lot longer but I guess it's okay as long as I'm losing and skin is fine as well. I was self pay as well and went to TJ for it. Any questions, feel free to ask

great, thanks! going to make some right now b/c im craving something sweet these days :S

you'll be fine. I traveled 22 hrs to get back and was out about 6 weeks as well. Make sure you have Protein powder in baggies, Blender Bottle, Protein Bars, empty Water bottle (to fill up on the plane) I'm not sure if you said you are traveling by plane or not, but I found ordering a diabetic meal (am diabetic as well) was a LOT better than eating the normal food because i had more protein and less carbs/bread like the chicken piece was a lot bigger and there was fruit instead of dessert etc. i found its easy at airports as well, can find chicken caesar salad anywhere and etc.....safe travels!

protein powder in soup or add unflavored powder to water/drinks...too soon and you can't eat anything otherwise could have added pp to food and etc
