Good luck in your recovery. Continue taking care of yourself.

I haven't lost any hair yet. I know it's coming, though. My hair was half way down my back, but my stylist recommended removing length so I wouldn't have so much pull on the folical. I cut six inches...

I have had a tanita for about 5 years. Still works well.

During those early days, I lived on Popsicles and soup made with bullion. Couldn't do much else. Really struggled with the shakes.

I had been on Lexapro for years until it just stopped working. My body just got too used to it. I had weight gain but also two pregnancies and infertility issues in between. About four years ago, I...

I have a similar issue. I only like Smart Water. Then I found Skinny Water, which is flavored. I like the orange. I've only been able to find it at Target. I did NOT like Hint--gross.

I have a 10-year-old daughter who has a diagnosis of anxiety and OCD, which adds much stress to our family. My weight was just compounding my own anxiety and depressive issues. I knew that I wasn't...

I've resolved myself that there are sacrifices to everything. I don't want to lose my hair, but I'm preparing for it. I just cut six inches off so there wouldn't be so much weight on the folical, and...

I had the same pain for two weeks after surgery. This pain was worse than my surgical pain and very much like other laparoscopic gas pains I'd had in the past. They had just not lasted that long. I...

As others have said, I'd cut back on the bars, even though they are easy. But a hard boiled egg is easy, too. What I do at restaurants is order a glass of ice, that way I can have a little refresher...

I had some issues with nausea in the second week. My doctor prescribed an anti-nausea pill to take. I had a day like yours the other day. Ate something my tummy didn't like, and the rest of the day...

From my understanding, you shouldn't be eating any carbs, like pasta or chex. Your diet should focus on protien. I eat mostly Greek yogurt, 2% cheese, eggs, chicken and fish (chewed to death). I...

Do you get any kind of annual health exams?

I'm a high school English AP teacher, and I'm not as active as elementary teachers during the day. I feel like I could just now go back to work with the energy needed for the job. My pain resolved...

I'm a month out and haven't had any hair loss yet, but I'm anticipating it. My hair, which is of medium thickness but very fine, is colored and was to my mid-back. Just yesterday, I discussed my...

My husband believes exercise is the best destresser, and then I roll my eyes at him. My "frustration" is only 10, and I reach for gum. A whole mouthfull of gum. I tried knitting, but then my hands...

I'm self-pay as well. I would think that the ct scan would fall under your deductible / % plan. It would be a medical condition and, therefore, covered as it would normally by insurance, whatever...

I get cluster migraines--headaches that last for days--and have been on Topamax for about four years. My preventative regime has changed my life. I went from 15 headaches a month to maye 4-5. I also...

What you're going through is normal. Half of my problem is mental. Before, I was always hungry, but I really wasn't. My head was; my emotions were. Anytime I felt hungry, I ate a popsicle. It seemed...

I was using Bariatric Advantage protien powder as recommended by my doctor. I just can't stand it and have at least $100 worth still in my cupboard. I'm trying to get as much protien in with eggs,...

You should have a fridge in your room. I'd take cheese sticks, lunch meat, hard-boiled eggs. All would fit in a an insulated lunch cooler or you could just run to your room for a quick pick-me-up.

I had that gas pain in my left shoulder for two weeks. It was awful. A heating pad really helped me. I pretty much slept with it. Good luck with your recovery.

I'm just a few days ahead of you and experienced the same down feeling. I'm very lucky to have a supportive family. I'm on liquids until day 21 ans then get to move to mush I told the fam that I...

I have been taking Bariatric Advantage, and they are grossing me out. I mix them with a product called Mootopia as it has 12 g of protein, but the shakes are über thick. I'm looking for a good...

I would question your protien bars. I'd try to get the protien from more natural sources to see if that would help. I love the convince of the bars, but they have so many other things that aren't...
