My hair comes out by handfuls too luckily I have very thick hair to begin with so I hope it doesn't get too bad ...I remember this also happened with the lapband for a while then just stopped falling out one day. ..I'm also getting acne which SUCKS ! I haven't had acne in years lol hope that doesn't last long either but as long as the weight keeps coming off I'll deal with acne and some hair falling out lol

I read that Silica Complex by Puritans Pride really works?? Here is the link for the article I read. Actually the whole website has some good infor for post gastric bypass. ;)

I really think I am able to eat more than I should be. I had a bit of steak, some veggies, 2 small pieces of sushi and a bite of rice. I shouldn't be able to eat this much at less than 4 mo out!! I do miss those days I could barely handle a tbsp or 2!!! This totally scares me! I've gotta be able to reign this in cause I'm scared!

Perhaps you should start measuring again to get a more specific idea of exactly how much you really are eating. I quit for a while and then restarted only to discover I was WAY overestimating my Protein serving sizes but was fairly close on other foods. So I wasn't getting as much protein or as many calories as I thought. Sigh. This can be a pain in the butt!

I'm seriously gonna have to do something. I was out at a hibachi place and I was shocked when I realized what I wolfed down. I'm not even sick really. Had a bit of the foamies. Crazy and scary. I feel embarrassed and ashamed!!

      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.
