    No Hairloss?

    Im one year out and my hair is thicker! Maybe from all the protein and vitamins? Ive been fortunate!

    More weight loss after a long time

    no I wish! I have been at a stall for several months now. Today is my actual 1 year anniversary. I have met my size in clothes goal but my weight goal was 140 and Im stuck at 170. Im still very happy with what Ive lost but would love to get the last bit off too. Congrats to you !

    Cheese

    I buy the weight watchers string cheese and usually have one or two during the week if I feel hungry around 3pm or so. Its just a healthier option than other things.

    Over eating?

    try a scrambled egg!

    Getting back on that wagon, is it possible?

    This is my biggest fear! I have stopped losing but not gaining either at about 8 months out. Daily I kick myself in the butt for not leaving off carbs more than I should. I have also heard too to go back on the pre op diet , and progress back into foods like you did after sx. I pray that you get back on the wagon and I will try to do the same. Keep me posted on your progress.
  6. I'm 7 months out , went out this past weekend and had a few drinks. Never got drunk off one or two like everyone says you will. I was fine, it didn't upset my stomach either. I had a beer, a bloody mary , and I had a shot of something. All was well with me.

    Before and after, 6 month out.

    Congrats on your loss. Just curious because I'm about 7 months out and I have been stalled for about 2 months now. Nothing has changed with my diet, and Im still working out. Have you had any late stalls last this long? You look great!

    Got Approved

    congrats! Best thing I've ever done for myself was being sleeved! I love it

    How long was your longest stall?

    This stall should not last long maybe a week or two. I'm 7 months out and have been stalled for a month. I'm not getting frustrated though because I know I will start to lose again. I can tell Ive lost in inches. Make sure you are keeping up with that also because usually it happens when you are not losing lbs. Good luck. oh and make sure you are drinking all the water you are required to drink daily it does make a difference.

    Starting a thread about hair growing back!

    I use to have super fine thin hair , and it seems since surgery it has grown faster and thicker? I guess from all my vitamins and healthy eating? I was terrified of my hair falling out more or thinning. Do you take b12 shots monthly? I do and take two flinstone vitamins chewable daily!

    Carbs

    So how many carbs per day are we supposed to be at? I heard it should be no more than 22 is this correct?
  12. Mine took a few weeks but only because all the paper work was not submitted maybe 3 weeks or 4 but I called everyday just about! The insurance company told me that they have to tell you it takes 30 days to get a answer but it shouldn't she said. Good luck

    Would you move where has someone died?

    If you believe in God then say a prayer over the house and have it blessed! Wouldn't hurt! But yes I'd move in if I really wanted it.
  14. how many oz protein am I suppoed to eat at 3 months

      tiredofkeepingup

      Dr. Marker and Dr. Robbins want us to get 60 grams a day.

      I got that part but at one sitting. I had been eating 4 oz of lean protein like salmon at lunch and someone told me that was too much?

      I would eat maybe 2 brussle sprouts with it too.

  15. I have a colonosopy scheduled for Monday. I'm 2 1/2 months post op. Has anyone else had to deal with this prep after being sleeved

      I haven't done it yet. I have my colonoscopy on April 7th. I have to start doing a low residue diet a week before and clear liquids one day before but I think to be safe I'd go at least 2 days before (my choice) then the bisacodyl tablets , the miralax mixed with 64 oz of gatorade mix, and then I think a 10 oz. bottle of magnesium citrate, the day of procedure. With lots of water in between. Better than a gallon of that Moviprep if you ask me. Good luck with everything!

      I did mine and it was so hard to drink all that stuff. Glad it is over. Hope I don't have another one for 10 years.

      Glad you got through it!

  16. Mine is the same way too honey! I keep telling myself slow and steady wins the race! I lost 30lbs in the first month and average 1 lb to 2 lbs a week.

    Pre op diet

    Just knowing I was that much closer to surgery was what kept me going. Also after the 3rd 4th day it got easier for me.
  18. You'll be fine, just recognize what you did and try to avoid it again! At least it was protein! Yes your surgery will still go forward!
  19. I'm 7 weeks post op and I can tell that my appetite is getting larger I can not eat much but I do feel hungry now at times. Is this normal? I have tried to drink lots of water in hopes this was what I needed but its still there. Is this head hunger? I'm scared that I will stretch out my sleeve!
  20. So now that I can work out with weights, I need to know what is the best exercise for upper thighs ? My legs look like the skin is melting off and has tons of celulite on them? I dont care what I look like in a pair of short shorts this is the area just above my knee though. I've been reading that several reps of low weights at least 5 x a week is good? Any advice out there?

    Day 5: miserable

    Slow down on the 2 miles darling you just had a major surgery! Yes keep walking some but 2 miles is a lot! I hope you feel better soon!

    Soft stage

    Salmon patties! Meat balls, turkey slices with cheese , scrambled eggs with cheese,
  23. I still have nausea every day since surgery. I have been able to keep food and fluids down but I still get sick by smells and thoughts of certain foods. I still have pain in my left lung from the pnumonia I got while in hospital. I keep telling myself I wanted this and not to complain!. Happy New Year everyone.
