There are a lot of before and afters on here. I just did a search on the forum for "after pictures," "6 months," "pics," etc. Search for those key words on here and there might even be a thread started by now for folks who are 6 months post-op. I hope this helps. :-)

Braids or twists are an option

Use oils or take fish oil pills.

I usually wrap my hair if not it is braided even tho it itches extra bad after gym sweat its much more manageable and stays looking fresh. :)

YEs, i am so ready...but the butterflies are landing in my stomach..lol- we have the same exact date, 12/3 but due to scheduling at work i had to move it up to 11/19 cause it was a cancellation, JoAnn hooked me up. I have to get in before the end of the year for insurance to cover it at 100%, I live in the Amboys.

Yeah, she's been trying to move mine up too! lol But December works best for me with my job. I live in Plainfield. Are you going or have you been to any of the support group meetings?? They have one on this Thursday, I went 2 months ago and Im going this week. They're pretty helpful and a good informal way to have your questions answered if you have any...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
