I am 7 mths out, down over 110 lbs and of course, like most started losing hair at about 4 mths out. A few months ago I was introduced to Moringa. Moringa Oleifera is a tree that grows in countries like India, Philippines, and a few others. It's been known to treat and prevent over 300 diseases, has been used for nourishment for malnourished children and nursing mothers in countries where it is an epidemic, and it's of course all natural. It has 25 times more Iron than spinach, 4 times more Protein than in eggs, 10 times more viamin A than in carrots, 17 times more Calcium than in milk, 15 times more potassium than in bananas, 7 times the Vitamin C in oranges, 2 times the protein in milk, and that just touches the surface. It's known as the most nutrient rich plant on earth. In addition, it is 100% bioavailablity which means that it's 100% absorbable unlike the Vitamins we take in a tablet or capsule that are only 8-10% absorbable. Since taking Moringa, which by the way is a mix that you mix with Water, I am no longer losing hair and am no longer on any of my my 19 medications or vitamins. I only take Moringa. I had labs done a few weeks ago to check cardiac, thyroid, and arthritic labs and they were all better than perfect, even better than they were when I was on the meds. Don't take my word for it, do the research, but it is absolutely amazing. I'm saving over $300 a month now on medications and vitamins since I'm no longer having to take them and I feel soooo much better off my meds. In addition to Moringa being a benefit to weight loss patients like us, it has other benefits like skin health, anti-aging, wound/scar healing, and much more. I just want this support group to know about it because I know it is something we all as weight loss patients will benefit from. There are a lot of awesome articles and videos to see. Natural News has some good articles and The Discovery Channel did a documentary that is available on YouTube. There is a Facebook page, Moringa's Ninety Nutrients that has lots of the research and if you send a message saying your a bariatric patient will give it to you at wholesale. Just trying to spread the word, especially since talking to a bariatric patient the other day who is in renal failure and has a full set of dentures from malnourishment after bariatric surgery. It's so sad and none of us want to end up that way.

Yes, if your just mixing the powder, it's disgusting. Zija has 3 different kinds and all have a different taste. I prefer the taste of XM+, however, I take SuperMix which is the worst out of the 3 in my opinion (however, the best product imo) I add organic pineapple juice to it so I can't taste it and it actually is a good mix for it. :) If I run out of juice, I take the XM+ with just Water, that one is good.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
