Teriffying experience blockage of food
Christy P replied to E.S's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
You should not be eating solid food at 3 weeks. You should still be on full liquid until week 4. Then soft pudding type food for 2 weeks then some very soft chewed up food. -
Drink more water and take some potassium. It helped me.

Clavicle/shoulder pain when swallowing
Christy P replied to Reese Cerulean's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think you are eating too much. 1/2 cup of food at a time maybe 4 months out but not 5 weeks. Your stomach is only 2 oz and you don’t want to stretch it out. This is the time you lose the most weight. Go back to quarter cup. I doubt you are hungry after eating that much. -
There is a creamy chicken soup called Unjury that tastes really good if you don’t like sweets

I’m five months out. My hair loss started about a month or so ago. It was horrible at first huge clumps of hair coming out. Thankfully I have a lot of hair. But it seems to have slowed way down now and I am not pulling out as much hair as I was. Thank you Lord. I purchased a bottle of hair fluence from Amazon which is full of good things for your hair skin and nails. I don’t know if the decline had anything to do with starting to take those or not But I’ll take what I can get.

Bariatric weightloss medications
Christy P replied to Mapleleaves Welch's topic in GLP-1 & Other Weight Loss Medications (NEW!)
I’m 57 years old and I have no regrets getting the sleeve. Best thing I ever did. -
I also suffer from PTSD and sugar can seem like a comfort. However my doctor put me on Prozac and I feel way better. The sugar is much easier to ignore. You need to get yourself to a calm state and then take care of yourself.

Can anyone tell me how long my hair will fall out? I’ve been losing a lot in the last month. I’m afraid I will be bald. I’m 4 months post op.

I’m not having any pain but I’m still sleeeping in my recliner because it hurts to lay on my side. I’m still extremely week and not sure why. I’m getting my 60 grams protein in. Any ideas?

Healthy beverages besides water.
Christy P replied to bossportsgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m pre op and scheduled for surgery on October 16. I really want to be able to incorporate juicing Into my diet. Doesn’t have to be right away but at some point I would like to be able to get in some rich dense micro nutrients. I know doing so is very good for your skin and helping the sagginess. It’s also a very good healing agent. Does anyone have any good advice or suggestions? My doctor told me no juice because it has too much sugar. But I’m talking about making my own. I do it now. -

Oh my gosh. 26 BMI is wonderful. Good job. You should post some photos. That is no small accomplishment and you should be proud.
