two months out and all's well



Recommended Posts

I am almost 2 months out and so far so good.

I've lost 27lbs. and am exercising A LOT...swimming, and treadmill.

I am eating A LOT non-animal Protein. Most every meal is just a Protein and veggie..very few carbs.

My hair is falling out A LOT...handfuls of hair everytime I brush. I am using a treatment Shampoo and conditioner...do not think it is working that great.

I still have gas, especially at night.

I had 1 incident of food getting stuck that hurt so bad. My mouth was full of spit...weird and painful. but it only lasted a couple minutes.

Does anyone have advice for the Hair loss? This is what is worrying me the most!

Thanks for the support.

Ok are you getting 60 grams of Protein a day? I was told to eat animal Protein, specifically lean chicken, fish or turkey and some beef if I could tolerate it. I do Have blood tests by the doctor to see if you are having deficiencies in your Vitamins and minerals and protein.

So far banded in August no hair falling out and feel good.

Thank you. I am going to try Biotin and folic acid, and monitor protien. I also heard that the hair loss can be from dropping a lot of weight at once, as the gall bladder works double time fat burning...but that hair will all grow back and this is common for about 3 to 9 months out to occur.

Here's hoping!

Thanks again!

      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.
