I bought the Thickening Shampoo at CVS. I've seen it at target too... It was maybe $14 for both Shampoo and Conditioner.

Sleeved 12/28. Down 63lbs from 357. I feel like a slow loser. I stall a lot and yoyo up and down the same 2 to 3 lbs. I've lost 25 inches over whole body. down almost 4 pant sizes. Was a 24 now a loose 18. Shirts just one size. Started to loose hair about the 3 1/2 month mark. But I still believe this was the best decision ever made I take in about 1000 calories, drink 5 bottled waters a day. And get about 80g Protein. Walk 3 x a week but just herniated a disk in the lower back and have bad leg and back pain. I need ideas on how to loose with out the exercise for a little while.

Hey Y'all, I was sleeved on 12-17 and I am doing great. Recently I have had people comment that I look thin... WHAAATTT... Now I have been described as many things "THIN" is not one of them. I am happy yet frustrated because I am now able to buy clothes in the regular area of stores no more Plus sizes I am fitting in a MED/LARGE shirt and Large pants. I have spoken to my doctors and no longer see my slow progress as a bad thing. I have gotten to the point where I am content where I am at and if I were never to loose one more ounce of weight I would be okay with it. I feel much healthier and love the fact that I can keep up with my children (age ranging from 4yrs-11months). I know I will still loose more but I am just so excited to be where I am. I hope everyone is doing well!

Has anyone gone back to the liquid diet to kick start things again? I've been stalled for awhile. I've increased my calories' date=' Water, Protein and exercise but nothing seems to work.[/quote']

Hi

Yes my nutritionist suggested I get back on phase 1 liquids for 2-3 days.

I got through day one and saw 4lbs drop but had too much going onn and didn't finish my seconds day. I do plan on starting tomorrow

Hopefully I can do this. ????

I had the same issue. Got a cat scan nothing. Turned out to be gastritis. I went on omaprazole 20g daily. By day 4 I was 70% better.

Good luck

Thank you! I thought about a cat scan or scope too just to be sure, but ill give this a try first :)

      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.
