December post ops



Recommended Posts

Well pooh I have seen some come out and I am 4 months out. But several years ago I had a metabolic change and my hair grew thin . So if I started losing a lot now I would definitely be bald.

I don't flat Iron my hair Amy and that could be what's happening to make some of it fall out! I use nexius Shampoo and conditioner and then an anti frizz leave in conditioner then blow dry

I noticed that I'm starting to eat more than I have been. I've got to watch it though because I don't seem to suffer from 'dumping'... I can eat pretty much anything now. I ate a cookie the other day and I admit sometimes I'll eat a couple of my kids french fries or 'try' some of their food. I've got to stop doing that.

My hair has been falling out. It seems to have slowed some. I try not to think about it because it freaks me out a little. I don't blow dry my hair or use and kind of irons on it.

I still haven't started exercising regularly. I REALLY need to get to it. I haven't weighed in over a week. I'm down 95 since Dec. 16. S of last week. I've been stalling and getting discouraged a bit.

I struggle but I think I'm doing okay.

How is everyone else doing? Anyone else struggling?

Some days I struggle and then others not so much! I think my pouch is moody! Lol I Need to figure out other things to eat besides beans... Any ideas???? I can eat sweets but only to a certain extent then it makes me sick.. Which I am kinda glad it keeps me in check. The only meat I can really eat is hamburger meat but I have to have mayo or mustard on it. Tomorrow we are having shrimp so that should be ok! I struggle to find things that I can tolerate

I am only at 77 lbs since dec 12th so you are doing fabulous. I exercise but not as much as I should and if I would do it more often my weight would come off faster.

I am now fitting into my "old" smaller clothes and even they are somewhat baggy! I am down four sizes and 77 lbs and it's moving off of my body slowly.... I have got to get a move on with my workouts meaning more than 1 it 2 times a week! Nevertheless, I have my old shorts I can wear for summer and hopefully I will be buying more soon!!!!

Good job! I just realized that I will need to get some new ones... Edelman!!

I'm not sure what Hendersonville is. But I know that without my Protein Shakes and Protein Bars I wouldn't get the protein I need each day. And a few days of low protein intake seems to be followed by a week or so of stalling. Also, since I can now eat more normal foods, I am. That means I'm not getting my protein in. There's just not enough room for both.

I agree. The ONLY way I can is by using my phone alarms. I have them set for every three hours, 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, and 6 pm. But then life happens, I'm in the middle of something else and can't eat and drink and don't remember to until the next alarm goes off.

I also try to not be too hard on myself. And my surgeons group staff tell me that being in the overweight range, where I am now, instead of the obese range, where I was not many months ago, is really a huge success!

I sincerely hope this helps. I don't really know you or anyone here. But I have faith in you! ;-)

      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.
