Hi All, I just discovered these their wholegrain white sandwich thins they are 100 cal and loaded with fiber. They are great gives you the feeling that you are eating a sandwich without all that bread.

Hi I weigh myself daily more out of habit then anything else. My weight does a kind of two step thing I will drop a couple of pounds then will regain it and go back and forth for a few days until it drops and stays there.

I decided to open up about my VSG at work.

.I feel the same way and have been open to anyone who asks and lucky for me I haven't really gotten any negative remarks. And truth be told I am too happy with my weight loss to care what anyone thinks. -
Hi, The collagen capsules I bought at Wal-mart it's suppose help with hair, skin and nails I figured it couldn't hurt. You can buy Nioxin at most beauty supply stores it is expensive but I think it is worth it my hair actually feels healthier.

Hi, I have been using bio oil and palmer's cocca butter cream daily on my stomach. I have five scars three small barely noticeable and two which are one is about an inch long the second a little longer both near my belly button they are fading some but truth is no matter how much I lose I am way past the age of even thinking of baring my stomach!

Hi, It is not inevitable I am six months out I have always had very fine very thin hair so this was a major worry for me. I have heard hair loss can start anytime after surgery up to six months so hopefully I am beyond it now. I was very careful to make sure I am getting enough protein. I have been taking biotin, a B complex, and collagen caps. I also have been using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner which I swear by.

unbelievable doctor visit
lunarose replied to vickie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow that was bad! It doesn't sound like she even know/understand the sleeve. It isn't like a diet sure you can eat around a sleeve but early on there really is no way and you have to watch your protein, fluids and vitamin needs. I am sorry you went through this. -
I do have one problem!!!
lunarose replied to Losingnva's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
A most excellent kind of problem! I put off buying clothes as long as I could and I still had some old "skinny" clothes that were not helplessly out of style. -
DH and his sweets
lunarose replied to SleeveStalker's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, My husband was the same way well maybe not as bad as having sweets but between him and a friend who encouraged me to eat all the bad things before I had surgery (I was only on clears for 3 days pre-op)! Fortunately my nerves were so bad I wasn't hungry but it still was a PITA. -
Hi, I am six months post sleeve and a retired RN so I understand where you are coming from. I am so happy with my sleeve and glad I made the decision to do it I am off my blood pressure and cholesterol medications and I can really feel a difference in my overall health even my workouts are easier.

Hi All, So today I went in for my six month post op visit. I weighed in today at 146 with a BMI 26.7 oh how I love my sleeve.

I am obsessive about my workouts too. I walk 5 miles a day five days a week. I have found that if I try for 7 days a week I develop injuries.

What I do is either have grilled chicken or sliced cheese that I put on the chip so that I am eating protein with the chips which fills me up quickly. I also count out a certain amount of chips I always get the baked kind put it on a small plate along with the chicken or cheese which helps.

How Low is Too Low?
lunarose replied to KabinKitty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You should talk to you PCP first some medications have what's called a rebound effect which would make your B/P sky rocket if stopped abruptly. -
Hi, I am 54 and so far my face doesn't seem to be any more wrinkly but my arms, thighs and stomach are. At first I was a bit alarmed by it but then I realized it doesn't look any worse then the fact.
