Shrinking sleeve?
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to imsoglad56's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Mine does the same thing. Day to day. I love it when it feels smaller. I hate feeling hungry. -
Food Tracking
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to jennlee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I set my calories to 900 and my protein to 60. And I watch my carbs no more than 40 but I don't set it. I just watch the total. I am 6 months post op and met my goal yesterday. -
Food Tracking

My fitness pal....if I cannot record it, I don't eat it! -
Well I probably over indulge in the biotin, I get the cherry flavored chewable a from sams club I take three in the morning and three in the evening. That's 30000 mg or whatever that is. And Nioxin shampoo and conditioner can be bought on Amazon. I was using the smaller bottles at a local salon (jcpenney salons have it to). But it is expensive. I bought gallon jugs from Amazon and it was 85.00 for both gallon jugs. Not chap but if I don't lose any hair it will be worth it to me.My hair done grow as fast as it used to, but that's ok with me the color lasts longer that way!

How long did your hair fall out?
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgeon told me, I had to sign a paper acknowledging all the side effects and that was one of them. I was worried but apparently not enough to not have the surgery. I have had many many surgeries due To having breast cancer and reconstruction I didn't have any hair Loss then either. -
Make sure you get all your protein in to. I hear too much Vitamin A can make you lose hair. I am lucky so far out six months and my hair is not Falling out. I take biotin and use nioxin shampoo. Take my vitamins and make sure I get my protein in. I am scared to death to lose my hair. Mine seems to be getting thicker. Just goes to show you that my diet must have really stunk before surgery. I am sure I wasn't getting enough protein ore surgery. As it seems I was losing more hair before surgery. As I pretty much lived in sweet stuff that I baked. Cakes, cookies, pies, bread. I look back now and think.....I was eating myself to death!

ALRIGHT ALL YOU LITTLE SKINNY MINNIES
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to HYCIERRA's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Oh here is a subject that I love. New York and Company could make me go broke along with H & M. I now own 3 pair of Miss Me jeans. I truly think I am addicted. Never walked into a buckle store before WLS. I own at least 10 winter coats. Lol. Don't get me started on cute boots and shoes. Inhave clothes I haven't taken the tags off from and I just keep shopping and my husband.....he is worse than me. He thińks he is dressing up a Barbie doll. It's sooooo much fun' not to mention expensive. There are so many other stores out there too that I didn't mention. They are all fun. And to accessorize charming Charlie's is fun too. -
Baking mistake! Aaahhh
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to Jazmundo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I used to love to bake, well I still love to bake. Just don't do it as often. I made banana bread yesterday but I don't like the batter so no problem there. I have not made chocolate chip cookies lately, that dough would be tough to resist. -

Did anyone develop low blood sugar? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
Thinkingthinner1109 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So last night when I got up to go to the bathroom. I fainted. Flat out fainted no warning no dizziness no memory of it. I went to the doctor today she took my blood sugar and its low. She also thinks my BP is dropping when I stand up. So I have to get a BP monitor. I was just wondering if anyone else developed low blood sugar? I am six months post and at goal for a couple weeks now. -
Any Northern Michigan Sleeves?
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to bap020799's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had mine done in Saginaw. Not northern Michigan more like mid Michigan. I am 5'9 and met my goal five months post op. I love my sleeve. It has changed my life. Good luck to you ladies, hopefully these pics will inspire you. And my wedding dress is too big!!! -
I take Xanax and Wellbutrin too. I have not noticed a huge difference post surgery. Those and my vitamins are the only Meds I take. You are not alone. Mostly my job causes me the anxiety and depression. I truly am convinced after I retire I will no longer need either of them.

HELP! PROTRIN SHAKES NAUSEATE ME
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to GEAUX SAINTS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am six months out and still rely on protein shakes. I drank them before surgery, however right after my surgery they made me nauseous. After about three weeks i tolerated them again and now i love them again. Without them I would never ever meet my protein goals. I use Unjury chocolate splendor and I also use flavorless Genepro. You can add Genepro to anything and not taste it. I will probably have to rely on protein shakes the rest of my life in order to obtain the required amount of protein. -
Honesty is always the best policy. If you can't think of how to say it just say. I have to talk to you about something and tell him that you hope it doesn't change things between you because you really care for him and tell him you want the relationship to be based on honesty and just say it. You will feel much better about it. And if he cares for you he will not have an issue with it. Good luck. Keep us posted. BTW if he cares about you he won't give a Crap.
