I am also 14 weeks post op and same exact issue. I had long blond hair and i was losing by the handful each time i even touched my hair. I would sit in the shower and sob! I went and got 6 inches cut off and it once again looks very healthy and shiny. It was a good 3 weeks though that I was...

I haven't been on here in a quite a while. I had a very rough start after my surgery which was just in April. I went back into the hospital twice with numerous issues. I had a short moment of regret at that time. I am so thrilled and excited to be where I am at in just 3 short months! I had...

I am also a mom of three ages 1,4,6 and work a full time job with the federal government. I am 7 weeks post op, down 44.6 lbs and have not felt this good in so long. I got the ok to start doing light exercise last week since I have been able to tolerate long walks and bike rides. I am still...

I cannot believe that you have lost almost 100 lbs?! hmmmboucher, did you have your surgery this past February?? That seems like a ton of weight loss very fast.

Hi everyone! I just want to say a little on how I am doing. I went into the hospital again fro dehydration and very low blood pressure 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since surgery and I have to tell you I almost feel 100%. I didnt think it was going to happen with how bad I was...

I still can't do anything. I'm almost 10 days out. I return to work thursday if the surgeon allows. I have a desk job so that isn't my worry. I just want to feel normal again. I want to be able to take care of my family and house. I can hardly do anything at all. I'm starting to get...

I ha the sleeve 4/18. Every single sip hurts. I can't take the pain much longer!

Is this really worth it? I cannot believe how much pain I have. I am not sure there is anything worse than what I'm feeling...

Don't know anything about physical support groups...so glad I found this one though! Still in lots of pain and finally drinking over 30 ozs, which is double what I had been for 5 days. Walking more but the pain is more than I can handle at times...

I'm with the last two posts...you have more options than what you listed. I am 8 days out of surgery. I am allowed to take those Med capsules that you take apart in no sugar, natural apple sauce.. 2 teaspoonfulls and that almost too much for me. I am hardly getting g enough liquids or...

Was admitted yesterday. I knew something was not right. I have. Infection and severe dehydration. Today is my birthday and the nursing staff brought me. Jell with a candle. So sweet!! Missing my 3 youngsters like crazy. Wish I could just go home!!

We have things ready for the morning already. My middle child is 4 so it depends on her mood if she will get herself dressed. My you est is one so i have to help him and change a disper. I can't even pull my pants up so not sure how I'm going to change him. I have the binder and it's helping a...

I mean I can barely get up and get more water/protein shake. I'm in so much incredible pain. Every sip hurts so bad. I thought each day was getting a little better until this morning. I was in tears just sitting up in the chair. I have 3 young children I need to get up and dressed tomorrow and...

I did not mean to scare anyone at all. I mean I know this will all be worth it in the end, but from what I read the initial recovery wasn't this bad. I wish I would have had a broader idea of what could happen after. Scale says I'm down 15 lbs already so that will help get me thru this I'm...

I also did not have much nutritional class pre op. I just had surgery Wednesday 4-18. I met with nutritionist 3 weeks ago, day before and while I was in recovery. I am still in so much pain that I find it difficult to consume more than 20 to 30 oz a day right now. Every time i swallow it feels...

im taking it every 4 hours on the button. Whine in the hospital I had morphine via IV every 4 hours and in between had the oxy every 4 so every 2 hours I received something. I spoke to the surgeon extensively even today and he and his team just keep assuring me that it was a very difficult...

i just had surgery wed and i also have been drinking from the hospitals 1 oz cups, took a few extras home. It seems to help, but everything I drink other than Luke warm broth hurts my stomach so bad!!

im on oxycodone. I also had a hernia repaired which is what they are blaming most of the pain on. I have my little cups of water and protein shakes next to me. I'm walking a few times an hour. I just cannot handle the amount of pain I'm in...
