Mrs.RRn 2,111 Posted March 16, 2014 So... This week made 9 months post op VSG-- LOVE my little sleeve (Mikey). Getting enough Protein but slacking a little on the Water intake (which I'm paying for this week w/ heart palpitations). I'm exercising most days a week, which I'm really enjoying. I've been getting random complements from strangers-- that's cool. And I love walking in heels all day long. Lol. I still don't (and won't) eat any breads, Pasta, rice, or potatoes. I've only lost 1 lb in the past month-- but as long as the scale is moving downward, I'm happy. Oh, and I ate crawfish for the first time since surgery-- yum. I managed to get through King Cake season w/o giving in & I'm finding Lent a little easier on the diet. lol New goals: - increase Water intake from 40 oz to 60 oz - lose 2 lbs by the 1st week of May (my next follow up appointment) - save $$ for plastic surgery 20 michelle68, ElyQuint, Who Dat 70461 and 17 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs.RRn 2,111 Posted March 16, 2014 Wow! You look amazing And, you've got lots of lovely long thick hair still.habe you had any problems with Hair loss or not? Yes, I've lost ALOT of hair. It's very thin on the sides. I wear it down as much as possible bc I feel it helps. It starting to grow back (has been for the last couple months). I'm REALLY excited about that. 1 briilee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find seafood is the easiest to eat- shrimp, crab, fish, crawfish. Lobster tends to feel a little "heavy" in the sleeve, but I can eat NEARLY a whole tail (with nothing else).
