I have been losing hair like crazy!! I hate it! I thought I would have a little fall out but it come in handful every time I run my fingers through it! I brush my hair it fills my brush. I use to have VERY thick hair and I bet I have half as much now. Be prepared as each person is different!

Hello! I am struggling.... few people know about my surgery so I don't have anyone to talk with. I had the lap band for over a year and loved it. When it was removed I decided gastric surgery was my only other option. The difference between the two is night and day. I am so disappointed I...

I had my surgery in August and with in one week I was playing with my kickball league and jogging. I don't think this was smart to do but I felt ok with it. Every person is different. It is a struggle while everyone else eats adn socializes to sit there sipping on water and not partake in the...

I was also having this issue. I called my doctor and he thought it may be and issue with my blood sugars. I have never been diabetic or had issues before but at the time I had been eating fruit for a snack and that was when I started getting light headed. I stopped eating so much fruit and...

Welcome! I had to laugh a little at your scale issue. It is irritating! I think we are both a little anxious to see the weight come off. I find it better if I only allow my self to be weighed once a week. Then I see more progress. I feel like it is coming off slow considering the extreme...

I am now 3 weeks post op. Things are good. I pretty much feel normal, tolerate foods fine but I can't get over how tired I always feel. I am so fatigued all the time. Is there a vitamin I am lacking? When I had the lap band the weight loss gave me energy and made me feel great. With the...

HI! This will be fun to compare notes since we have same surgery dates! I am doing well. Almost too well I think. After just one week out from surgery I was playing kickball on an adult league. I feel little difference then before my surgery. I haven't found anything that makes me too...

Thanks Jules. I am going to call and clarify on Monday. I was only given a list of liquids I could drink....mostly clear and then progress to smooth textured foods such as yogert or cottage cheese. Dosnt say anything about shakes, protein ect. This worries me. Perhaps it was discussed more...

Whoohoo! What an inspiring post! I am so glad to hear of your success and happiness. I too hope to have the same feeling once I am all healed up. I am a bit concerned. Everyone is talking about Protein. I don't recall my doc mentioning protein right away. When do you typically start the...

I am just four days post op and too soar to even think about eating. I do worry about that exact same situation. Social time revolves around food. I even had a dream about food already. We can expect the world around us to change but perhaps finding comfort in the people on here can help a...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I am still exploring the posts and site. I am glad to have found a supportive community. I have to admit very few people know of my surgery. I feel a little embarrassed I was not able to control my weight and resulted in such drastic measure. So I will defiantly...

Hello! I just arrived home after my RNY. As soon as I walked in the door I realized I am going to see support and someone to ask questions of. I found this site. A little about me. In 2010 at 275 lbs I underwent surgery for the Lap Band. After just over a year it had eroded and was...
