      Maybe not. I thought I was done a month ago, but since then I've lost a couple of pounds. Just stay the course and see what happens. When you're close to goal, weight loss is slower, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

    Hair Loss

    Jordan861 replied to Anne BG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    @@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)

    Hair Loss

    Jordan861 replied to Anne BG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    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.

I hope u get feeling better soon! thats one thing I have never done since new tummy is puke..I fought hard to just keep mine down an wait it out.

    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

    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!!!!!

    Need a buddy.

    Jordan861 replied to jessicavtec1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    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.

    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.
  16. Jordan861
    I figured my tummy would be the problem, but my arms (wings) and my face are bearing the brunt of the damage. I figure a face lift will be my required surgery... I am looking tired, old and sad but on the inside I feel so young and full of energy.

    Jordan861 replied to kimpossible67's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I want my thighs to not touch I want a pair of boots to go over my calves without having to buy wide calves that are too big in the ankle. I want to wear sleeveless shirts without feeling sick by my flabby arms I want to sit on antique furniture without the panic of its going to crush I want to wear a 1950s style dress (polka dots) I want to wear a single digit size one time in my adult life. I want to weigh what an average women weighs (not the average man)

    Flabby Arm skin/Plastic surgery

    Jordan861 replied to aclinton16's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories

    @@MichiganChic Was the surgery painful? how about scars? what kind of cost was incurred? Did they do it in combo with any other surgery. I am 49 and I alway thought my stomach was going to be the most icky of the skin... Turns out my arms/armpits and my face seem to have taken the most damage.

    Haters will Hate... You have done amazing and keep on the journey. There will be negative ninnys in every croud. I was told to stop loosing weight you are getting too thin..... size 12 weighing 176 lbs... See most people don't even know what a healthy weight is. Either they are fat, they have seen you fat for the whole time or you feeling bad somehow makes them feel better. I say go for it girl.... Dance Sing, where clothing you would have never put on... enjoy life!!!!

    My PCP is having cold feet

    Jordan861 replied to Sleeve_Sistah85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Just tell him this is what you want and you understand the risk. At least complete your months of supervised diet, if he doesn't send in the letter correctly to your insurance then change. After the surgery it will be all water under the bridge. I asked my primary years ago, she continued to say negative and disparaging things, then last january a switch flipped and she was thrilled. Don't know ... I just know I am thrilled with my sleeve

    Stopped losing

    Jordan861 replied to mishelcrz88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am three days past 5 months and the scale has not moved in 5 days...not one ounce, but clothes are fitting different. Stay patient... Calories in vs calories out.... equals loss..there is no other way. Watch waters..I have started eating salty foods (never used a salt shaker before) and my feet and legs started holding a lot of water
