B12 helped me a lot with my fatigue - you can get it in pills, sublingual (liquid you drop under the tongue), or monthly B12 shots from a doctor. My doctor also said it isn't a vitamin you can...

If you have never done Weight Watchers, I would suggest trying it. Yes, My Fitness Pal is free and a wonderful tool but it is harder to make better choices. WW points use a combination of calories,...

I'm having the same chocolate issue as you - I mean I liked chocolate before but now it's almost like I MUST have chocolate... I've been thinking I need to nip it in the butt but I've been...

Are you taking any sort of acid reducer like Prilosec? That seems to help - also if I eat something and it starts making a ruckus, I'll eat an antacid and that seems to help settle it down. I...

I use the sublingual - Walgreens carries one that is 5,000 mcg/f (I can't remember which it is). My doc said that B12 is not a vitamin that you can overdose on so I do one dropper daily.

I was sleeved in March and had my health assessment in August - my score increased 16 points (1-100 with 100 being perfect) from last year! Next year it will be a much better number - good luck to...

In regards to your meds, have you tried taking them with and without food or at different times? I know one of my meds is much better on the tummy with food. I'm sorry to hear you are having...

I would search for formal dresses online - most online stores are getting better about free shipping and returns. I bought a dress in college for my sorority's formal online for a much better price...

I would recommend trying some of the food at home before hand if you can - don't force anything down, if it doesn't feel good stop eating it- and if you decide to partake in a drink or two be very...

After my surgery I have been cold A LOT so maybe the shrinking, shivering you will offset the hot flashes? ;)

Toppik - Toppik Hair Fibers Medium Brown

Try to get in protein and take Biotin supplements - I try to wash my hair as little as possible and just recently tried the Dove dry shampoo which works...

Ha ha - love how you explained that! Yay for still having hair! :D

The patches sound interesting - Mcderma did help with my incision sites - they are a much lighter color now.

I find bread works better if it is toasted - I thought I might have better luck with a flatbread or a quesdilla but both of those sit worse than toasted bread.

I live in Stephenville and while I had my surgery in WI, I have been doing my follow up care with Dr. Chad Carlton (he is now in Plano/Dallas). I take horseback riding lessons at Mill Again Stables...

Also for vitamin B, you can find a sublingual liquid (drop under the tongue) supplement in the vitamin section if you don't want to do the shots. By doctor told me you can't really overdose on...

I have found with meat that a lot has to do with how it is cooked - it has to be moist or it isn't going down good... I found eating dark meat helps (moisture) or using a marinate. My steaks are...

You can also take B-12 to help with your energy levels - either by doing monthly shots or buying a sublingual (drops you do under the tongue) supplement (Walgreens carries one that is 5000 mg or...

I have noticed the same thing - I primarily stick to protein shakes and Greek yogurt for breakfast - bacon is ok too.

I would recommend trying one new food at a time - that way you can single out which one doesn't agree with you. Lettuce and corn are both harder to digest items. Like Holly said, take a few small...

I have been a big fan of the kids meals - much smaller sizes and actually most these days have healthier options (like apple slices for a side etc). I've found that eating a sandwich with only one...

My motto through this has been "I can fake boobs and hair - I can't fake skinny" LOL!!!

I'm in the hair loss phase - started at about 4 months out... I cut my hair short right before it started...

Quite honestly, I think the pre-op diet was the hardest part of this whole experience. You are hungry and stressed about your surgery - just not a good combination for stable moods LOL!

Isn't it great to go "shopping" in your own closet?? :D

Things taste differently especially in the first few weeks after surgery - as someone else posted, things seemed too sweet or too salty. I had weird cravings too - I really wanted a salad and can...
