EssKayy I completely understand. I am 105 days out and completely obsessing over my hair. To date I'm not having any loss but I am so afraid. It is all I think about. I take 10,000 mg of biotin daily. I'm just hoping for the best. My sisters laugh because I'm doing all sorts of things. This past week I put a avocado, honey, and oatmeal mask on my hair. I saw that on YouTube. I'm literally praying to not lose my hair. I tell everyone that my hair is the best thing on my body. I don't know what I would do if I lose it.

I too am a water drinker. You just have to take it slowly. I try to sip constantly. This was the most difficult part for me. The eating I got used to. It's the not gulping that was a challenge. I try to keep a bottle with me at all times. HW 330 SW 292 CW 230.8 GW below 200

I'm a very private person. I told one or two people including my husband. My mom told my susters and father. She assumed my sisters knew. I'm not ashamed of the surgery, I just don't want to hear what others have to say. Mainly​ I don't want to have to hurt someone's​feelings. I have 4 assistants that I work closely with. I didn't tell them because it wasn't their business. Again, I don't​want anyone's opinion. I just told them I'm trying to live a healthier life. HW 330 SW 292 CW 230.8 GW

Wow!!! Our stats are similar. I don't mind sharing at all. I would love to be your buddy. Send me a message if you have any questions. As I said in my post it is a struggle. I still struggle with cravings. I just don't give in. I think about why I had the surgery and I get through it. When the cravings a arise I try meditation or reading. I just think that I have to be successful at this. Prior to surgery I was taking 2 shots and 4 pills a day for diabetes. Also 2 pills to control my blood pressure. I don't want to go back there. That is motivation enough. I also attend a support group. I'm also having trouble getting in all of my nutrients. I try to log everything I eat. I focus on protein and make sure I take all of my vitamins. I hope I answered your questions. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello all. I have an autoimmune disease called autoimmune hepatitis. I also have vitiligo. My overactive immune system attacks my liver. I take 100 mg of mercaptopurine daily. Prednisone if there is a flare up. Thank God that hasn't happened for a while. My doctor was excited when I told him I was considering the surgery. He actually did my medically supervised weight loss. I had to stay off my meds for 1 month before and after surgery. I had RNY 3/8. Things worked out fine for me. 5'8" HW 330 SW 306 SD 292.8 CW 233.4 GW around 180 Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my surgery March 8. Best day of my life. Thirty pounds is great. Just think, you could have gained 30. Just keep working. Like K said be sure to log everything you eat. It will come off. Best of luck. HW 330 SW 306 SD 292 CW 238 Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

I traveled 6 days post-op. It was a total 12 hour drive. It took us 2 days. I was very unhappy. The drain was annoying. It's a good thing I had a beautiful beach view from the hotel. I just lay there looking at the the water. I came out once or twice. It also took us 2 days to get home. I asked my hubby to drop me off at the ER when we got back to town. Ended up staying 2 days.

I don't think it's a good idea. Trust me I know from experience. I traveled right after my surgery. It was spring break and I didn't want to ruin my husband an daughter's vacation. It was a 10 hour drive. It took us two days. On the way home. I asked my husband to drop me off at the ER. I ended up staying 2 days. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

Just adding a few things. Premier protein shakes. Loved them before surgery. Absolutely hate them now. Grits get stuck. Lemon flavored anything. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

WOW!!! My list is so long. 1. My 4 year old daughter asking me to race. In my mind I'm thinking I couldn't run if someone was chasing us. 2. The constant pain....knees, ankles, back 3. Taking 2 blood pressure meds 4. Taking to shots of Levemir and 2 different pills to control my diabetes. 5. Thinking of my mom in the hospital and it taking a team of people to move her.( She has lost about 150 pounds) 6. The thought of leaving my daughter without a mother. 7. Knowing if I didn't change I wouldn't see my daughter become an adult. 8. My husband 9. Not being able to visit my parents like I want due to the embarrassment of my weight. 10. Not socializing due to embarrassment. I could go on and on but I will spare you guys Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 9 weeks out. I initially had regrets. Especially when I had to be readmitted 10 days after surgery. Now I'm down a total of about 50 pounds since surgery. I wouldn't go back if I could. I have gone from taking 2 shots per day and 4 pills a day to control my diabetes. It is completely under control. My PCP says he will take me off one of the two blood pressure meds I take around 60 pounds. This has been the best decision of my life. Just hold on. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app
