    lizcan replied to LipstickLady's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum

    I would love to have a vets forum. I joined in May 2015 and haven't been on for ages as there wasn't anything I felt was relevant to me. I have concerns about different things now that I am 18 months post op Sent from my F1f using the BariatricPal App

    Sydney Sleevers in 2016

    lizcan replied to Jacquelyn Hyde's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Hi I'm living in Perth and was sleeved last May. I don't remember the exact dollar amount but after medicare and health insurance it cost me about $5000. Probably saved that amount on my grocery bill by now! It has been an awesome journey and I am just about at goal. Never thought I'd be a size 12. Good luck!

    Eating like crap to me is feeling out of control and eating stuff that I wouldn't normally eat but feel like it is beyond me to rein myself in. The only way around it is to get up the next day and start fresh.

    Hair loss?

    lizcan replied to cdsjjotn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I started to lose my hair at about 5 months and now at 8 months out it has slowed dramatically. Although I was very conscious of it no one else noticed. I do have lots of hair and it is growing back

    The smell of tinned tuna and eggs makes me gag. Ugh.

    It is a cordial so a nice change from water. No carbs. I bought mine online from nutrition warehouse (I think). It is quite expensive initially but lasts for ages.

    When I started out I drank cyborg sports ultra lean protein drinl which is a powdered sugar free drink. Protein and fluid in one!

    Well done. Now the exciting stuff happens.

    I was the same. I see on this site that there are plenty of Americans going to Mexico. It's amazing that this is the most cost effective way for you

    Thanks for the hope. My hair is coming out fast and my part is getting very wide! I washed my hair in the shower the other day and my hair blocked the drain. I am going to try some of the liquid silica.

    I haven't lost any hair. Weird?

    lizcan replied to Lutasha's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    I have kept it long. The thing that is worse than it falling out is that it is dried out and looks frizzy. I just get the ends trimmed but I am like you and have very thick hair si it is not too noticeable yet...

    My bmi was 36 with a start weight of 205 and after 5 months it is 28 and my weight is 160. I am very happy with the pace of loss. I think the slow and steady loss helps keep things in perspective.

    Hi All A very exciting day yesterday. I wore shorts for the first time in at least 20 years! Man were my legs white! But they were free of the constraints of trousers. It was 33 degrees (91 f) so I appreciated it that's for sure. I might try a skirt soon!

    Thanks for the tip. I will see if I can get it online here
