I am at 9 plus months. I never lost any hair. In fact it got thicker and is longer than ever. I tracked protein daily and did biotin. I don't know id that helped or if i am just one of the lucky...

I am at 9 plus months. I never lost any hair. In fact it got thicker and is longer than ever. I tracked protein daily and did biotin. I don't know id that helped or if i am just one of the lucky...
I absolutely agree. At 9 months post surgery, i could eat far too many calories if i didn't track. I've actually had days that i pushed 2000 calories! It takes me less than 10 minutes a day. I...
Woo hoo! You are an inspiration!
I use myfitnesspal everyday. As mentioned in earlier posts, it is good info to have. I watch my calories, between 1200 - 1400, and then my protein. I also track calcium, fiber, and sodium.
I'm just shy of 6 ft. I'm inside my range of normal weight now. I was 155 in high school, and was considered thin. I guess i just never imagined that at 55 i might be that weight again. :)
I am eating 1200 - 1500 calories per day, and i am having the opposite concern. I am wondering what to do to stop the weight loss. I am very tall so my goal weight is obviously higher. My...
I actually haven't had cow.s milk in about 12 years. i visited a large dairy farm. Turned my stomach; I've been drinking almond or soy milk since. I have no problem getting my protein or calcium...
I use almond milk in my protein shakes. Very low calorie and so much healthier than cow's milk (no hormones and saturated fat). Never tried making my own, but will now. Thanks!
14 days out is pretty early. Your sleeve is still healing. I had my sleeve last November and at Christmas, 6 weeks later, i tried a glass of red wine. It burned like crazy and i couldn't even drink...
As someone that does have reflux, and did have a lot of vomiting, it was still the best decision I ever made. The reflux is totally manageable, and not everyone has it. As for the vomiting, there...
I am almost to the 9 month mark and i am down 81 lbs. The last few months i have been averaging a couple of pounds a month. My experience has been that i stall for a couple of weeks then drop 3 or 4...
For the first couple of months i threw up a lot, sometimes several times a day. I had to be very careful with introducing new foods and with combining foods. About four or five months post surgery,...
I wish I could have had the surgery when I was just 50 lbs overweight. I would have avoided knee surgery, years of blood pressure meds, and untold damage to my self esteem. I might have been...
I am almost 8 months out and I drink occasionally. Just like foods, certain things will work and others won't. I have found wine to be a nice treat that doesn't bother my tummy. I cannot tolerate...
I had my surgery in November of last year and found that around month 5 I started to have more frequent and longer stalls. My experience has been that I will stall for about 3 - 4 weeks, and then it...
Foods that slide right through your tummy and not fill you up. For me they are crackers, chips, and popcorn. I try and steer clear of the crackers and chips, but I do allow myself popcorn. If you...
I routinely eat between 1200 and 1400 calories on the advice of my personal trainer and I have continued to lose weight. According to her, 1200 calories is the minimum at which you will not lose...
I have never made my own, but there are so many different veggie burgers available now you can really have variety. I also like the Morningstar Chik'n Grillers. Only 80 calories per patty with 9...
I did blended chili with water almost every day for two weeks in the liquid mushy stage. It was so yummy!!! I used a healthy variety (Amy's Organics) to cut down on the sodium. I don't think it is...
I was vegan before the surgery, but now have occasional cheese or egg, but I really prefer a diet totally free of animal products. (Yes, Forks Over Knifes is an awesome movie!) I do eat soy...
I take an antacid daily and have no problem at all. But if I don't take it, I get the acid. I am almost 6 months out. I consider it a mild annoyance, one well worth tolerating for all the benefits...
I think exercising is critical to longterm success and optimal health. But I think it also depends on what you are hoping to accomplish. I want to be healthy, so eating right MOST of the time, and...
I do weight training twice a week, and mix up the cardio two to three times per week. I do elliptical, treadmill alternating jogging and incline and stationary bike. If I slack off on the cardio,...
I had some complications with my spleen and ended up back in the hospital for a couple of days. But I would not change this experience for anything! This has been really life changing for me. It...
I too lose more weight when my calories are higher. I have found that between 1200 - 1400 calories is where my body does the best. I make sure to get my protein in, but I also make sure I get my...
