    Hair loss

    Had the same issue, 4th month hair was coming out, I add more veggie fat, and that help a lot. Like coconut oil, olive oil. i just used it when I made my eggs, or other Protein. I keep my hair short, since the new growth would stick out. i too have curly hair so it's not to bad to hide the thinning. I am glad it's stopped. Over all I am so glad I got this Sleeve, it's made my life so much better and my health is 100 precent better.

    Every Thursday

    You must be so proud! keep up the good work. Measure yourself weekly, the weight may not move as fast but those inches will motivate you more.

  6. If you did not get sick from it, it's not going to hurt you. The list is a guide, and you are going to notice every doctor is different. Just take note, if the eggs went well, that's a good sign that you are going to be able to eat eggs without an issue. For the mean time keep up with your Nut and Doctors orders. Best of luck to you.
  7. For this week, still 200. Still trying to hit Onederland. Will hit the protein drinks and water all this week. Still it's only been one month since I was sleeve. I was going to sew on a project and had to measure myself and I've lost about 5 inches on my bust, waist and hips. so yeah it's all good.
  8. Congrats! I am looking forward to being in that same status..Just 1.8 to go...Yeah baby!!

    Potty Problems

    Miralax should we take it everyday? I am also having issues with this. Doctor said to take Miralax if I had any problems, but I do not know if I need it everyday. Stool softener was also suggested.

    Family Hurts

    First she must know that you do have to workout and eat healthy, the surgery is only a tool so that you don't eat as much. You could tell her she doesn't have to lie. She can say that medical history is private and they can ask you if they want information. Which is true, our medical history is no one's business. Get ready, People are going to be rude, jealous and out right ignorant. I have not told anyone in of my family, only my mother (who had a stoke and can't talk) and my boyfriend, because he had to take me to my surgery. I asked him not to say anything and he works in the medical field and is very aware how private medical history is. I have an adult daughter and I have not told her. I plan to, but not till I reached my goal. I have enough on my plate and don't feel like dealing with people who have issues of their own.

    HELLO JANUARY SLEEVERS!

    Had my surgery on Jan 5th. First four days were the hardest. Had pain and gas. I try to get 75 to 90 g of protein by drinking protein drinks. Water is easier now always seem to be thirsty, I was 217 before surgery now I am 205. I don't want to loose too quickly to avoid the skin sagging issue. I am happy with the lost. I eat Greek yogurt, broth and mashed beans not all in one day, but pretty much what I eat for the week. Not really hungry. Only can get 500 to 600 calories a day. I was size 16 now in 14. Feeling really good. Multi vitamins, iron, biotin, d ,c and calcium as well as B12.
