If I eat several small meals all day, I have no problems. However, last week my husband was sick and I was f/t with the baby and paid no attention to eating what-so-ever. One day I didn't get a chance to eat until the afternoon and I got so sick. Next day, same thing - basically threw up everything I ate!

I wonder if it is kinda like before the sleeve, when you don't eat for a while, your stomach shrinks and you get full faster? Has anyone else had anything similar happen?

I also noticed more of my hair coming out last week, I assume b/c I was just not eating much at all. :(

This week I am eating a bar in the car on the way to work and another one at mid-morning.

hair loss usually starts at about 4 months for most people no mater what kind of Vitamins and supplements they take, or what they eat.

Can you get some ready to drink Protein drinks to drink in the morning. I remember you had problems with ingredients in Protein Drinks.

Yeppers, if I wait too long between meals, or if I get busy running errands, and don't eat until later in the day, I kind of feel like my stomach is clamped down. I usually drink something warm to relax my stomach, and then I'm able to eat normally. I haven't thrown up, but I do understand what you dealt with those days.

Warm Water sounds like a great idea- maybe next time I will have a hot tea. Glad to know I am not the only one who has had that happen.

Oregon - I am at 2 months out...but noticed a huge surge of hair coming out last week when I was eating so inconsistently. Just like before the surgery, weekends and days I am not at work, I struggle with consistency. I'm getting a bit better about it, though, b/c I would rather not spit up food again! blech.

my stomach feels clamped down most of the time, but that is ok, like Tiff, i drink something warm wait 15 minutes then eat something. . . wait 30 minutes and drink warm again. . . then in about 1 hour it clamps down again. . . then i just sip and continue to sip til the next meal. . .I've just come to except that is how it's going to be until i can start my regular diet. . .

I've had this problem too, but always assumed it was because I ate too fast/too much because I waited too long to eat.

My hair started coming out around 2.5 months post-op and started coming out a lot less by about 4.5 months post-op. Now at almost 6 months post-op, it's still coming out a bit, but not bad at all. I guess we're all just different.

My hair came out pretty bad about 4 months after my c-section. I had a huge bald spot in the front for about 2 weeks...then it grew back great, so I am hoping that I get the same result with this. eep. Knock on wood and all that!

My stomach will still knot up on me occasionally, just like a spasm, feels good to rub it. Don't know what causes it but is more prevalent in the early evening. Something warm does feel good like Tiff said. The other night I cheated and had popcorn that just dissolved in my mouth and went down so easy...too easy. Got to be careful.

ya, I noticed that too!! and I am happy about it. cuz at those busy days, I eat little to compensate for some bad days when I do nothing but obsessing about food.

I love it when my sleeve tell me to stop! I wish that last forever.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
