Two years two months ago I started my journey
Jordan861 replied to twinsmama05's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Kym .... I am 50 years old -
All weight loss has stopped - times 3 weeks....ugghhh I guess it is over

@@JamieLogical I had full blood work.. The only think not normal was my B12 was elevated and cholesterol was high... If It hasn't majorally checked up I am going to ask my Bariatric doc to order the blood work. When it was done this last time it was my general doc (little worried they did not request something)

I am six months out and I started with extremely thick hair. I have lost over 50% It has been falling out for about two months. It has went from two handfuls a day to one hand full every three days. I take vitamins, biotin and use biotin shampoo. I have resorted to Joan Rivers scalp makeup (red) it is amazing and easy to use. I am kinda freaking out but doc says to call him back if it hasn't stopped by Feb 8.

Sleeve or gastric for heartburn
Jordan861 replied to cosmogirl2535's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had constant heartburn and reflux prior to surgery even with the medications. After surgery - no meds and no heartburn. One exception - I ate two bites off a all beef Hebrew National Hot dog - needless to say that is the one and last hotdog... I had sleeve and I have no more heart burn -
Just reached 90 pds lost....yeah... Hair falling out at alarming rate...pray for it to stop....

Eating question
Jordan861 replied to Wannabeamotherof9's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At the mushy/pureed food stage you can count it where ever you want. Just remember to get your protein and ounces of water in every day..... I would figure a cheese stick string cheese would be an entire meal if you could get the entire thing ate. As for the pudding put some protein powder in it..... 4oz...sugar free....fat free ... protein......full meal..... bingo!!!!! -

OK just realized if I'm standing my thighs no longer touch. There is a space between them.....I love my sleeve

I am a couple weeks further along than you. I eat pretty much what I want (as low fat as possible) Two weeks ago I was in a terrible stall. It was my third one but this lasted over a week. I eat what I want. I had to add a protein powder back into my diet. I got sick on a grilled piece of chicken and just can't seem to eat solid meats tonight I had about 1/2 of a tamale with 2 tlb spoon beanless chilli and 1 tlb spoon fat free sour cream. Lunch was 1 baked salmon patty with ketchup, breakfast a 80 calorie light and fit yogurt with 1 tlb spoon genepro protein powder.

How much food can you eat with sleeve?
Jordan861 replied to emp409's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Little over 5 months...mine depends on what I am eating...thin (soup not heavy with stuff) about 1/2 cup. Thicker or chunkyier closer to 1/4 cup. Solid (meat) about two ounces. As for ever eating normally... I hope I never do it again, cause my normal let me become 258+ pds. I go out and order usually off the appetizer menu.... Eat what I want slowly and talk a lot...then get a go box and your left overs will be about three meals and some to throw away. My biggest issue is throwing away food.... I learned it is ok to throw away food, I don't have to clean my plate thinking about some starving people. I Love my sleeve and the only regret is I did not have it done 10 years ago.
