walk walk. I used the gas ex strips which helped. everyday gets better

Got sleeved a week ago. So glad the port is GONE. looking forward to finding the green zone as well!

Target has a compression cami/bra in one that I love. Been using them for a while and post surgery came in handy. It has a built in bra

I'm a firm believer it's not just protein but the shock to quick weight loss and calorie restriction. Post surgery it's easy to eat only 500 cals. Here is where you would get your hair loss. Encourage to push those calories and protein if you don't want to see the loss.

I tried the peanut butter spread and tossed it in the trash. I am not picky by any means but that was not worth it at all Try the whipped peanut butter?

I just read on the Quest sure they went back to their original formula

Congrats on getting a new surgery date!

I say the same! Even though I am 1 week post op. I had a failed band as well. Congrats to health!

When were you told you could take a bath or get in a jacuzzi?

Quest nutrition has a line for baking

Caloric restriction also leads to hair loss

MFP daily. My daughter uses it as well to check her macros through the day. Proteins, carbs, fats instead of relying on cals. This is something I'm starting to do as well

Thanks for the quick responses. I'm dying to get into my jacuzzi tub with these cold nights.

You getting in all the Protein? and what is your calorie intake? I think that we are so calorie restricted after surgery this is possible where the problem is. There are studies done on caloric intake related to hair loss.

I was telling my mom about Nutritional yeast. She said it was the go to before Protein powders came to be when she was younger.

I've been having no issues as well. I do know the sip sip walk walk has been beneficial. looking forward to full liquids tomorrow and going home. Meds were rough but tolerated to promote getting better. Hang in there.

First day post op and doing well. sip sip sip walk walk walk. No hunger what so ever but hey some of my insides were cut off so why would I.

This happened to me as well. 1st day post op and swelling already going down.

Same here. i leave for Tijuana today and have surgery tomorrow am. Pre op diet done.. now to do the post work. I had the band so I know alot of what to expect post op.. more liquids.

My uniform is my Pjs... I work from home. praise!

I've made before as well. Gotta find what works well and what you like. I found a recipe using Cassein Protein powder but have used others and added PB2 as well. Spray coffee mug with nonstick 2Tbs coconut flour 1Tbs Casein Protein Powder 1/2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa 1Tbs Truvia/Stevia (granulated) 1/4 t baking powder Mix in 1 egg white 1Tbs Greek yogurt 2-3 Tbs almond milk till you have a thick batter Cover with plastic wrap Microwave 45 sec Check to see not overflowing Microwave another 45 sec For topping 1Tbs Unsweetened Cocoa 2-3 Truvia Almond Milk Optional strawberries

I'm scheduled next week the 20th. Completing day 11! I"m suprised at how well I'm doing with it. Since I have an unfilled band in place, I'm wondering if that is helping. I have no restriction though so I could eat a whole pizza if I wanted. The day I got my unfill, I knew I was going to start the liquid phase the next day. So i had everything I could not have with my band. Fries were my number one go to and with the band i couldnt keep them down. So bye bye fries for a loooooongg time.

Day 10 of all liquid diet. Today was rough but I pulled through. Its 10:30pm. gonna go take a bath to take my mind off food.

I top mine with frozen berries put in the microwave for 30 sec.. Add truvia and then use a hand mixer. So good

Hw 201 Currently on a pre op diet Surgery is 1/20
