AJP1243 46 Posted December 21, 2014 I'm not doing well on stage 2 foods right now. I have only been able to drink a little Protein Shake and some Water most of the day. I have been stressed and devastated since Friday when I lost my mother during open heart surgery. I know she would yell at me for not trying to eat like I'm supposed to so I'm going to try to do better tomorrow. Oh my I am so sorry for your loss. Keep moving forward! Your mother wouldn't want it any other way! God has a plan for us all. Your life is just beginning don't hault it! again I am very sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benji27 17 Posted December 21, 2014 Hi Amy, Sorry to hear the passing of your mother, sadly we go through seasons of life but it will pass in time. However I admire your spirit that you will try again tomorrow. You can do this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

get2chris 28 Posted December 21, 2014 Amy I am sorry for your loss. Don't know if any of you on here are also on Facebook. There is a closed group on facebook called BariBuddies that started from the people on this board if you'd like to join. It's a little easier to navigate. Look for the picture of the girl with the open arms. I like staying in touch but this board seems hard to keep up with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aHealthierMe121714 27 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Has anyone experienced the Hair loss? If you have, were you able to eat right? If you haven't, what were you doing? Just trying to make sure I keep most of mine. I barely have any anyway! Edited December 21, 2014 by aHealthierMe121714 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susanfnp13 61 Posted December 21, 2014 Yes, my hair is falling out. I'm at day 6. I am washing my hair very gently every other day and using Redkin Anti-snap. It is Protein for your hair. I gently comb it daily. It keeps the Hair loss at a minimum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJP1243 46 Posted December 21, 2014 Woke up feeling great. Thought I would be able to get things done today. By noon I was gripping my tummy and I had only taken a nap. I hate when I get tricked like that. I mean I felt like me. The old me! I have lost 23 pounds in 2 weeks. 9 pounds since surgery. Really happy about this choice even with the pain.

MyssJones 84 Posted December 22, 2014 @@Amy Carter I'm truly sorry for your loss. It's never easy losing someone so close. My prayers are with you and your family. Try cream Soups. Me and Protein shakes have not been getting along either. They make me nauseous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrincessDeb 43 Posted December 29, 2014 Has anyone experienced the Hair loss? If you have, were you able to eat right? If you haven't, what were you doing? Just trying to make sure I keep most of mine. I barely have any anyway!No hair loss at two weeks post opt. I don't know that I get enough Protein, but I take an awesome Multivitamin that is super packed with Biotin and some zinc, my surgeon said it will help with hair loss.

Heather101103 9 Posted December 29, 2014 Has anyone experienced the hair loss? If you have, were you able to eat right? If you haven't, what were you doing? Just trying to make sure I keep most of mine. I barely have any anyway! I had Hair loss prior to the surgery and of course it continues today. I take Biotin 5000 that I picked up from Walmart. I believe the bottle was around 7.00. I do have hair growing back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy Carter 67 Posted December 31, 2014 I'm officially on stage 3 foods!!!! I'm down 12 pounds since surgery. I'm happy and my doctor is very happy. I go back in a month instead of in 2 weeks like most of his patients. I think I'll try scrambled eggs for Breakfast.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
