    Yes, that pic is from July. Thanks! I have all these baby hairs coming in I'm ready for them to be grown out haha. I'm in Tennessee and I would be the same! The summers are too hot to think about wigs Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    My hair is starting to come back, but my hair stylist said it won't even be as think as it was pre op. I used to want thinner hair now I really miss the thickness. But it saves me time in the mornings! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    lifeofblair replied to Missbeauty16's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    I have felt hungry since about a week after surgery. Still working on the head huger part. And I've never felt a lot of restriction like some people. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Skinny people problems

    lifeofblair replied to rydersmama's topic in Rants & Raves

    I had some of these! What got me is when I went to Disney and my spine hurt so bad from all the plastic seats on rides! I told my (insanely skinny) bff and she was like see there are cons to being skinny, but it's better than the alternative. And she was right! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    What about WLS Weighs You Down?

    Going into it I hated to give up cokes and sweets. I know it was for the best, but man that was hard to cope with Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I tried soda after my surgery (a doctor ordered me too on 2 separate occasions) I could only take 2 sips before I felt.weird and bloated. I'm glad I felt that way because there have been times that all I want is a big ole coke. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    lifeofblair replied to JT Edmiston's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was choking down Protein drinks until I gave up. I started drinking milk and adding dry milk for extra protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I wish my mom supported my WLS sooner. I know I would have been upset though if out of the blue she said I needed it. I knew she had it when I was 16. But I'm glad I had it at 23, just wish I had done it when I was 18 or so. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I've heard you can take pre made shakes if it's medically necessary (not positive though) might want to get your dr to write a note for it. Yogurt is usually easily found, so you can always buy some when you get to your destination. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I didn't travel that soon after surgery, but when I do I bring Protein bars just in case. I would take Protein Powder if I were in your shoes. What stage are you on? You could always get canned tuna, but you might not be that far along. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Completely Undecided.

    I was the opposite. I wanted the sleeve, but my surgeon recommended the bypass. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I was the same way. I did have vomiting, but in the hospital from the anesthesia. I felt I could eat and drink way more than I needed. A few weeks/months into it it got better. I still feel like I can eat more than I need. I was worried for the longest time that my doctor didn't actually do the surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    lifeofblair replied to trekker954's topic in Purée (stage 2)

    Favorite Breakfast Foods

    lifeofblair replied to essrule's topic in Food and Nutrition

    I do yogurt or eggs a lot, but those don't have all the Protein you want. You could always eat the non traditional Breakfast foods like fish, chicken, etc Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
