has anyone else started to loose hair yet?

I also tire easily. I am dizzy, light headed and sometimes downright faint.. I am sure I am not getting all the protine I need. I can't do the shakes anymore, they trigger my gag reflex right away. I am in the pureed stage but... can you say yuck.. I do eat some soft protiens but... I felt good thru weeks 2-3 but this week... whew, I am glad to just drag myself thru my work day and float around in the pool with the kids.. I know it gets better, just have to try to push more protiens.. Good luck girls, we can do this.. Korianne 305/255/150 -50 lbs

Thanks so much for your suggestions, a BIG help!!!!

Marsha, You are definitely not alone. I have had nausea and dry heaves for 3 weeks now. I ended up dehydrated and was placed back in the hospital for 6 days. I had an endoscopy while there and found to have 3-4 small ulcers in my pouch. I am on meds for the ulcers and we tried everything my surgeon could think of to aleviate the nausea, but nothing completely took it away. I have at home phenergan, compazine, a patch I wear behind my ear, and a couple of other tablets to get rid of the nausea. I'll admit, I am a tad better, but the nausea still lerks in the background. I was also send home on IV tube feedings. My vitamins and antiobiotics are put in this IV. I'm not sure how long this will last. They say until I start eating and drinking on my own. I have been able to eat some now, but the drinking is still very difficult. No girl - you are not alone. There are others out here suffering right along. I do hope you get better soon.

Hey BJ, I'm always too self concious to walk outside so I bought a set of the Leslie Sansone walking tapes. I too have those little terrorists who are out of school so we all stand in front of the TV and walk away the pounds. It is GREAT! I got the set at BJ's Wholesale for 15 bucks with the abs belt too. They have a 1 mile tape, two mile one and a 3 mile one. I'm not brave enough to try the 4 mile DVD yet. The one mile one is only 15 minutes and even the 4 mile one is only 45 minutes so these seem to work real well for me. She breaks it down by 1/2 miles and such so you can stop whenever you want. My girls LOVE it! Hope this helps. H
