Hi, Jayson!

I'm losing a little hair, but it was really thick to begin with, so I don't mind too much :-). I love my new low/typical blood pressure, low cholesterol, low blood sugar, etc. I need to update my weight ticker - I'm at 157 with 29% body fat which I'm pleased with, too.

Hope you're doing great as well and that we hear from some other November 11 people:) !

I'm close - 11/14/13...

I'm doing OK - I'm down 44 since surgery, 62 total.

I'm losing a lot of hair - A LOT; I hope it stops soon.

I haven't found anything that bothers my stomach - that's a double edged sword

I feel great - lots of energy

I am feeling less and less like a weight loss surgery patient

How are you doing????

Guess what I have to see a urologist cause of pain when I pee. They suspect there might be scar tissue from the sleeve surgery blocking.

I started my annual physical today and the subject came up of the pain. They ruled out my prostate which was mad uncomfortable if anybody had that done before knows what I mean. I don't have to test my blood sugar anymore. However I have a problem with my blood pressure during body movement. The medical doctor wants to consult with my sleeve surgeon. They suspect that they might have to add another meal daily. So that would mean 4 meals a day up from 3. I hope I don't need surgery again with this peeing problem.

I was sleeved on 11/13/13. Doing well down 59 lbs since surgery. Wanting to break into the 100's. I've been hovering between 200.2 and 201.8 all week. Doing fine but just found out I have a minor stricture that will be fixed endoscopically on Friday. I can only eat 1-2 ounces and get a little nauseous after I eat so doctor wanted it checked. I don't throw up but just feel kind of blah for about 1/2 hour after eating. Doc says opening the stricture will make a world of difference. I still supplement with two shakes a day to get enough Protein. hair is fine, no issues, taking 6000 mcg Biotin daily along with all other Vitamins. Best decision I've made for myself, want to lose another 30-40 lbs but can actually see it happening this year.

      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.
