Ladypoohbear- Thank you because it's really frightening when you lose so much hair!!
-
Inner Surfer Girl- I think I might try to increase mine some to & see if it helps hair loss! Thank you so much! Good luck to you as well!!
-
Mayaresearchmom- thank you! I try to get in about 60grams as well but I was afraid it wasn't enough & contributing to my hair loss. I hope I still have hair left in 2 months- I'm losing a lot each day & my hair is fine & thin to begin with. Ugh! I don't eat very many carbs but I probably need more healthy oils. I also bought a hair & nail supplement to see if it helps! Thanks for the info!

62 lbs in 4 months.. Very excited! 24% loss so far!! I'm over 1/2 way to my goal!! -
Inner Surfer GIrl-- I had surgery in Mexico & back in Indiana now, I just see my family Dr for blood work now- I don't really have a program or anything to follow now. Kind of a lone wolf- lol!!

What amount of protein should I be taking in at 4 months post op? I thought it should be 60-70 grams but I'm still losing lots of hair every day. Would love input.

Any troubles flying?
klovitt0171 replied to I'm Ready's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery in Mexico & flew home 4 days after surgery. It was exhausting but I didn't have any issues. We flew from Puerto Vallarta to Dallas to Indy. -
Congrats!!

Does anyone have a problem with beef?
klovitt0171 replied to pik's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 3months post op and I have some trouble w/ beef especially in dry grilled burger form. I found that I can prepare it as taco meat & add refried beans & I seem to be able to eat that much easier. -
it's normal. my Dr said to use Gas X w/ it because its a common issue.

Hopefully you get some relief w/ the endoscopy! I know it really helped me! It took a couple of weeks afterwards but I'm starting to eat more foods & able to eat more like I should be at this point post op. Good luck!!!!

Thanks everyone for your feedback! It's great to have others to talk to about this stuff! I started on sublingual this week & drinking The Believe Mocha Latte Protein drinks which have a little caffeine & between those two things I've had more energy this week & felt like a normal person again. Thanks to all!! -
Why does it feel like I've swallowed a scrub brush?
klovitt0171 replied to sunnywillows's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
Hi! I am doing so much better! I can eat a lot more foods & drink my shakes with ease now. It has made a big difference. My scale has started moving more since I can get more protein in also. They did find a hole inside my stomach pouch on my last endoscopy so I go for an upper GI on Tuesday so surgeon can best figure out how to fix it. It's not major but their afraid if it worsens it will be like I never had the surgery & I don't want all this to be for nothing! I've lost 46lbs & I never want to see those again. Just another bump in my journey but hopefully will be fixed soon. I have no pain or issues so that's a good thing! Keep me posted on what you find out & how your doing!
