I started my journey 10 wks ago... After having all my fave foods as a last horrah before my lifestyle change, I started my pre-op diet, followed by 4 phases (stages) of textures & types of food as directed by the dietician on the surgeons team. I have lost 17.6 kg with no exercise in this time! My life has improved already in so many ways already. I'll add photos when I can ????

fixed nausea with a simple solution!
I was sick every morning for a few wks (no not morning sickness!) and then I figured it might have to do with not having food in my stomach and the food was too harsh...I wish I figured that out earlier!! Now I don't have to take sickness tablets and be scared of food if I start my day with a high protein drink. I've never been big on breaky and it goes down easy. I then have a 'soft' lunch and a 'soft/normal' dinner.

Congratulations on the weight loss already! How was your recovery period? Did have much pain or downtime following the surgery?
Are you now eating normal foods?
I also have issues with hair coming out. For me it was mostly that I wasn't getting enough protein as well. I upped my protein intake and I also take a daily Biotin vitamin, which helps with hair loss.
Please do keep us updated with your progress!
