I have noticed the same with mine. and same situation, nobody else notices b/c my hair is super thick to begin with. maybe its our body chemistry changing from the weight loss?? im not sure but thought I would let you know that your not alone.

I'm in and my goal is 15lbs, good luck everyone!

I didn't make my goal of 20lbs but I did lose 17! Progress has been moving a little slower now than I expected but I am still happy with the results I have. Now to move on to my next mini goal! Great job everyone and I really enjoyed this challenge, it helped keep me motivated!

Down 1.2 this week, had my first fill last Tuesday and no problems from that but a little disappointed in the weight loss for the week :wub: Gotta get myself moving and motivated if I wanna reach my goal!

Hi, I had my first post op drink last Friday (vodka mixed with pink lemonade crystal light!), I was 24 days post-op, it went down fine and I have had a frozen margarita since then. I think it just depends on how well you handle your alcohol and also yes it is empty calories so you have to be extra careful if you want to continue living healthy with a successful weight loss!

Down 4.6 pounds this week and super excited! Hoping to get my first fill tomorrow!

UGH! such a slow week! I was not happy with the scale this week, it went up and down all week! surprisingly enough still lost 2 lbs but I was really hoping for another 5! I just started solid foods again last wednesday and cant seem to get full now :biggrin: I am scheduled for a fill on next Tuesday and can't wait!! I really hope it helps because right now I am starting to loose hope. Sorry to be so negative everyone but you all are the only ones that really know what this is like.

tuna in water (i like the small pouches) or canned white meat chicken (in water)-both are pretty soft and you can mix with a little light mayo. creamed soups, and V-8. Also i have a problem with those protein shakes (i'm just sick of them!) i found some special K protein water mix (kind of like the crystal light packs) and its just like drinking flavored water, there's not a lot of protein in them but there is some and it beats the shakes!

I'm feeling a bit better now, but yes I have been probably over doing it a bit too. Friday when I posted, I felt like hell and had to sit through 4 hours of class, Saturday I felt better and then today, I had to take my pain meds and take a nap, I was wore out! I just have to male myself take it easy! I am sooo ready to start working out so I can start dropping the lbs!! Thank you for your replies, it def helped me not freak out too much

I'm in! I'm gonna go for 20lbs!

I am currently on my "clear liquids" post-op diet, it has consisted of water, propel, sf jello, sf popsicles, chicken broth, and protein shakes. On day 6-10 I get to move on to thicker creamier foods like oatmeal, thicker soups ect. Good luck to you and congrats on your journey to your new life!

I was banded on 6/29/10 and I am having this pain mostly on my left side just under my rib cage. also it feels like something is stuck...i have my self kinda freaked out that something is wrong. has anyone else had this?? i have only been consuming clear liquids (water, propel, sf popsicles, sf jello and protein shakes) I did stop taking my liquid loratab b/c it was making me way to sleepy and i couldnt take care of my kids.
